Just Spin-offs!

It’s another “Big Idea” segment! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy as we talk about Deb’s Big Idea — Doctor Who guest actors who could carry their own show (and what kind of show that might be)!

And yes, we do spend some time talking about The Big News about Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall leaving the show. Thus the dearth of Happy Things.

Which guest characters do you think could carry their own series? And what would that series entail? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

Emergency Extra! – Moffat Says Goodbye, Chibnall Says Hello

VerityExtraChibnallSchedule be damned! When there’s Doctor Who news this big, we throw gently set the spreadsheet aside. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we talk about our feelings upon hearing Steven Moffat will be stepping down after season 10. And just as importantly, we discuss our hopes and fears for the Chris Chibnall era to come. Of course, the news that we won’t have any new Doctor Who until the Christmas special is quite something as well. We’ve got sadness and joy, hope and fear, excitement and meh.

What about you? What was your reaction to all the news? Let us know in the comments!
