Happy 2023, everyone! This year, after 10 years of podcasting, Verity! is going to regenerate! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we all look back at the last 10 years and share some general hopes for the future! We also chat about the trailer for the Tennant-and-Tate 60th anniversary specials. Much excitement and many feels all around!

Yes, that's right, Verity! will be taking a hiatus and making some changes, so think of this ep as the speech at the end of "Survival", but with the knowledge that the show WILL come back again -- and a lot sooner than Doctor Who did in the 80s/90s!

Many many thanks for listening, whether you've been with us since 2013, picked up somewhere since then, or are joining us right now! We appreciate the community that has built itself up around us, and we're excited to regenerate into the next version of Verity! to keep bringing you thoughts and feelings about Doctor Who for a good long while to come!

In part 2 of our festive special, Ben, Mark and JR Southall return to discuss fan controversy 1970s style, by way of Robert Holmes' The Deadly Assassin. 
As a controversial moment in Doctor Who history, it's gone on to define how the show's mythology worked going forward. 
Can the same be said for The Timeless Children? Time will tell, it usually does.

Under discussion: Tories being bastards on Gallifrey and in real life, Bernard Horsfall's scabby leg, and why there's no women on Gallifrey.

Also: What's more disrespectful? The Cyber-Brig or the Crispy Master?

We have reached the end of the 12th Doctor's first season. Victoria and Ross have new insights on this veiwing of these two episodes. Missy grand scheme come to it's climax, Danny dies, Clara greaves, and the Doctor is President of Earth, oh by the way that is a terrible idea.  All these things seem new to Ross and that alone sparks some good conversation.
