It’s official! We have another new Doctor! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Lynne, and Tansy as we dive into our reactions to this amazing news and welcome Ncuti Gatwa (Ncuti, pronounced SHOO-tee) to the Doctor Who family!
Have you seen him in Sex Education or anything else? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
In this week’s “Reference Acknowledged”, Deb, Kat, and Lynne discuss the Eighth Doctor’s impact on fandom, how and why he was brought into “canon”, and the importance of naming Big Finish Companions during “The Night of the Doctor.” Thanks to Christian Smith for this week’s topic suggestion. We are ALWAYS happy to talk about the Eighth Doctor!
This week’s “year of…” title credited to Trevor S!
As a reminder, many Big Finish titles are available on streaming service so if you’re curious and want to check them out (and we suggest you do!), a quick search may grab you free Big Finish content. Warning: Big Finish is highly addictive and may result in you purchasing many many more titles but we don’t see this as a bad thing!
How do you feel about Eight? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
We had other plans for this week, but NEWS happened! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we gather for an emergency Extra! That’s right! RTD is BACK! (Or he will be starting in 2023.)
How do you feel about this development? What was your initial reaction? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
It’s time for another Underrated Gem — this time from Deb! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss a story that one Verity describes as “a good mid-level rollercoaster.”
Do you think this story is an Underrated Gem? Why or why not? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
We start off our 2021 theme with some “Comfort Who”! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we dig into a story that makes Deb happy, “Partners in Crime.”
Is this story comfort Who for you? Who or why not? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
It’s a holiday hindsight episode, but maybe not the cheeriest one? Join Deb, Kat, and Liz as they discuss what turns out to be nobody’s favourite Christmas special. (Yes, Erika titled this episode. Muahahaha!)
Have you rewatched this story recently? If so, what did you think, and how did that compare with how you felt about it in the first place? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!
Today’s recording is as cozy as the episode. Join Deb and Erika as they discuss another story that often lands near the top of the Doctor Who polls. Is “Midnight” as good as its rep? We dig in!

Okay, this “7” is a stretch but we made it work. Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as we dissect the rollicking, emotional, and devastating story duo of “Army of Ghosts” and “Doomsday”.
We give credit to 8 y.o. RTD (the obvious creator of the Dalek v. Cyberman smackdown) while calling out the emotional manipulation he inflicted upon both Jackie and Rose. But we all come together in our adoration Yvonne Hartman’s confidence (and tailoring) and Mickey Smith’s swagger.
What are your favorite bits of this, literally, epic two-parter? Or was the emotional manipulation just a bit too much? Let us know what you think in the comments!
We’re back this week to list more favourites–seven of them each! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lizbeth as we list our seven fave episodes/stories from the Russel T. Davies era. Will we overlap at all? Will there maybe be something we all pick? Listen and see!
What’s your list of faves? Let us know in the comments!
Now that series 10 is over, our year of loves and lasts continues with a love. A lot of love. Two episodes of love, in fact! Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we dip back into series 2 with a two-parter that Deb just loves: “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit”.
Do you love these eps like we do? Do you find the same bits a tad uncomfortable? Other bits? No bits? Let us know in the comments!
