“Resolution” Review
Our final Thirteenth Doctor review until next year, 2018 did go quick! We ended series 11 feeling a bit flat so does this provide a suitable exit and leave us wanting more of Jodie and the team or is this an unfortunate continuation on poor writing etc from The Chibbers?

A new 4th Doctor audio adventure is on the way from the BBC and the 13th Doctor is making an appearance in the Eaglemoss figurine magazine."The Tenth Planet" Review
We thought it would be fitting to do a Hartnell story for two reasons; one, we haven't done a Hartnell story in ages and two, it seems fitting to go back and look at his farewell story just before we say hello to the 13th Doctor. Lots of snow, bad American accents and those awesome Mondasian Cybermen. All good or is this one a bit cold? Thank you so much for joining us for 204.

Wow, where has the time gone?! Back in 2014, we had no idea that our show would last this long and how it would progress in an already growing area of Who podcasts. I'm thrilled with the community we've built and able to share the good times with you all. Over the last 200 hundred shows, we've reviewed a ton of Who (and there's lots of classic Who left to do!), put together an awesome writing team who put out great articles each week, travelled to plenty of conventions and met lots of you plus we've interviewed some great people involved in the show. A huge huge huge thank you to all of you who take the time each week to listen to our crazy waffle and rantings. Whether you've been with us since the early days or you jumped onboard last week - we wouldn't carry on doing it if there was no one to listen to us. Any interaction you've had with us, be it as a listener, chatted with us on the socials, sent in a review etc, you make it all worthwhile. For that, again, Adam and I want to send you all a massive thank you and here's to the next 200 shows! Ready... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaallons-y!The News

Adric gets bumped off but what about the rest of the story? A decent Cyberman revival or is it "shock"ing? Thank you so much for joining us for 200.

Next week we're back to The Sarah JaneAdventuress and Eye of the Gorgon (and a special guest co-host). Have a great week and until next time - Allons-y!

Doctor Who - Ep169: Merry Christmas Who Fans
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 25 minutes and 48 seconds
Hey Who fans and welcome to episode 169. It's a solo Garry outing for our last show this year so without further ado... Garry is flying solo this week as Adam has already departed for his Christmas travels and it's also a different format than usual, partly due to no decent news or merch at the time of recording. So on this week's show: What has Garry been up to, the year in review for Doctor Who in general and the podcast, Q&A and plans for 2018. As it's the last show of 2017 I'd like to get soppy if I may and say that this year has been another brilliant year for us and that's all down to you. It would be a pretty rubbish show if we didn't hear back from you or converse with you on the interwebs about Who. Your listenership and interaction, whether it's saying hi on Twitter, sending us pics of your merch and conventions or sending in reviews, is what keeps us coming back every week. So for that I'd like to say a massive thank you, you lot are awesome and we have such a great community. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you all have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Enjoy Twice Upon a Time and we'll see you on the flip flop. Allons-y!
