This title was released in January 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 March 2024, and on general sale after this date. A child goes missing in a small Welsh town. As Rhys grows closer to the traumatised Catherine and her husband, he discovers that something is badly wrong in their remote cottage. There are scratches in the plaster, little wooden figures hidden in the walls, and next-door neighbour Mr Collins isn’t what he seems. Will you join them at the festival of darkness? Recorded on: 9 June 2023 Recorded at: The Soundhouse   Stewart Pringle said: "We've really been enjoying writing for the characters who are slightly on the periphery of the Torchwood organisation. The ones who have a more ambiguous, precarious relationship to the weirdness that's going on around them. Rhys feels like the ultimate example of that. “When we meet Rhys in Poppet he's also a man on the run, in hiding after the events of Children of Earth, and here he's briefly separated from Gwen and Anwen too. He's vulnerable, anonymous, he has none of the power or protection of Torchwood. He misses his family. He misses them so much. And he's going to meet something absolutely horrifying.” Lauren Mooney added: “We've written about folk traditions before, like the Mari Lywd in our first Torchwood story, The Grey Mare, and poppets are from the same sort of world, I guess. “They're little wooden dolls, human effigies used in sympathetic magic and, pleasingly, they sometimes turn up in the chimneys of old houses. Sometimes they’ve been put there for protection, and sometimes quite the opposite. “There's something quite spooky about the thought that you could be living alongside these old charms and symbols for years and years without knowing they were there, and that was where the story began.” Actor Kai Owen said: “The story of Poppet is an absolute belter. A story full of witchcraft and mystery and some very creepy characters. Rhys gets involved – as he always does – and finds himself landed in a world where he's sort of lost without his wife but his own experience of being in the world of Torchwood somehow gets him out of it. “I think it's entertaining to see somebody out of their comfort zone – a normal guy in this extraordinary world and I think that's what makes it interesting. It's been a joy to record.” Arbel Jones, Kai Owen, Scott Arthur, Emily Burnett, Sion Tudor Owen

  This title was released in May 2023. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 July 2023, and on general sale after this date. Torchwood are on the run. As the world puts itself back together, Torchwood are there to pick up the pieces. And they find something nasty hiding in them. A housing estate where everyone’s gone mad, an industrial estate interrogation facility, a lighthouse in Iceland, the comments section of a newspaper. Trouble is everywhere. And so are Torchwood. 7.1 Aliens Next Door by Ash Darby Mrs Betty Clerihew has an exciting secret in her spare room. Torchwood are hiding out there, watching the comings and goings of her estate. Apparently, monsters are living on the cul-de-sac. 7.2 Colin Alone by Una McCormack Colin Colchester-Price has been left behind. But he’s kept calm and he’s carried on. He knows his husband is out there, saving the world for Torchwood. And he’ll comeback for him. One day. Soon. Surely. 7.3 Misty Eyes by Tim Foley Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams have made a new life for themselves in Iceland. Away from death and aliens and horror and Torchwood. Until there’s a knock on the door from the last person they want to see. 7.4 Moderation by James Goss Tyler Steele has a job moderating the comments section of a website. His old friend Petra is a star reporter for the newspaper. And Tyler realises the newspaper is going to kill her.

However, as a send-off for Jon Pertwee's Doctor, it's an absolutely bonkers adventure full of karate chops, Palpatine-esque lightning, a huge car chase, crazy Halloween-castoff spiders looking to rule the universe, callbacks to The Green Death and Jo, and so much more! So if you're on your way to Gallifrey One or just need to escape the world for an hour, join us for our 300th episode and Planet of the Spiders!!

In this episode, we look at some of the first materials from the ‘Doom’s Day’ multi-media event. First, we review the kickoff story, Doom’s Day Hour 1 by James Goss on www.doctorwho.tv. Then we examine the four comics comprising hours 2 through 5 in Doctor Who Magazine 592. These stories are ‘Target Selected’, ‘The Plastic Population’, ‘High Noon in Hollywood’, and ‘The Horn of a Dilemma’.

Enjoy!

The news is sparse this week, as sparse as the Thursday/Friday schedule for San Diego Comic Con, reflecting the general malaise of the entertainment media complex in these times of IP dominance and labour strife. But that won’t stop the Three Who Rule from giving their half-baked opinions on costuming, editing video tape via razor blades and gumption, the non-legacy of VR, and Threads, the latest in a long line of social media hellsites. So go on, skeet that toot into your eardrums, tweeps! Not the nighttime crowd, obviously.

In which two out of three of our fearless podcasters get high on edibles while the third gradually sobers up from the two double-shots he downed prior to recording and is left wondering how the hell he’s going to edit the recording into a listenable podcast.   Did he succeed?  Why not drop a review on or a post on and let us know?  Anyway, we review the documentary film, “Doctor Who Am I” by the TV movie writer Matthew Jacobs, and we catch up on the latest casting news for Series 14.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

Doctor Who | The Anniversary Specials | The Three Doctors

As 2023 is the year of Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary, join Phil and a returning Scott as they chat about the first of the Doctor Who Anniversary Specials, The Three Doctors.

Starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, energy emanating from a black hole targets UNIT headquarters searching for the 3rd Doctor. With this energy also threatening the Time Lords and the universe itself, the Time Lords send the 1st and 2nd Doctors to assist and discover the threat is from Omega, a long thought dead Time Lord who now exists in an anti-matter realm and is now hell bent on revenge.

During their discussion, Scott raises the subject of what happened to the Brigadier in this story and his dislike of CSO, before going off on a tangent on animated stories and Phil gives thanks to this story for contributing to the Who's He? Podcast.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

Doctor Who | The Anniversary Specials | The Three Doctors

As 2023 is the year of Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary, join Phil and a returning Scott as they chat about the first of the Doctor Who Anniversary Specials, The Three Doctors.

Starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, energy emanating from a black hole targets UNIT headquarters searching for the 3rd Doctor. With this energy also threatening the Time Lords and the universe itself, the Time Lords send the 1st and 2nd Doctors to assist and discover the threat is from Omega, a long thought dead Time Lord who now exists in an anti-matter realm and is now hell bent on revenge.

During their discussion, Scott raises the subject of what happened to the Brigadier in this story and his dislike of CSO, before going off on a tangent on animated stories and Phil gives thanks to this story for contributing to the Who's He? Podcast.

It's time to add the 13th Doctor to the rotation. Ross is joined by Joe Ford from Hamster with a Blunt Penknife, Untitled Star Trek Podcast, and Finish Big podcasts. One of the best things about being a Doctor Who fan is rewatching and taking another look at an episode and it is time for The Woman Who Fell to Earth. The guys not only talk about Jodie Whitaker debut but there some fun tangents and some laughs.

Season 6 of Doctor Who Literature starts a week early as our bonus episode is delayed. We jump into the 1984 books by looking at Mawdryn Undead with the capable help of Steven B. (@steedstylin) from the New To Who podcast (@NewToWhoPodcast). We have a lot to talk about.

Steven's new project is Reimagining Doctor Who, which comes highly recommended.

Many thanks to Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) for research assistance and for a dramatic reading from the diaries of Angus Mackay, a member of the Mawdryn Undead guest cast.

Peter Capaldi’s Doctor might not be sure if he’s a good man, but can Nathan, Todd, Peter and Simon be sure if his first series is a good series? Let’s find out (while determining who to snog, marry and avoid on the way).

Notes and links

Thank you to Steven B for his question about the ratings during the Capaldi era.

Fans of tables of numbers (like Todd) will also enjoy the Doctor Who Guide’s ratings page, which has information on the ratings and audience appreciation data for every Doctor Who episode since An Unearthly Child.

Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Todd is @ToddBeilby and Simon is @simonmoore72. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook and Mastodon, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we’ll bore you with a lot of unnecessary soul-searching.

And more

You can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November. (We also hint at another untitled Doctor Who project this episode, but you’ll find out more about that later in the year.)

Our James Bond (et al.) commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show’s entire run. We’re determined to bring you our coverage of Series C later this year.

There’s also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch an episode of Voyager with Kazons and Seska and things. Just like the old days.
