Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 409.

After a brief chat about the new Blake's 7 Series 1 Blu-ray collection, we dive into the news: a high-ranking Disney executive has shared some very positive remarks about Season 1 of Doctor Who and Catherine Tate is set to host the Doctor Who BBC Proms next week. For our review this week, it's something we haven’t discussed in years—K9 and Company: A Girl’s Best Friend. Enjoy!

Hey, Who fans, and welcome to The Big Blue Box Roundtable.

It's a busy one this month, Who fans, as Garry is joined by Jordan, Harry, Maria and Matt to talk about which companions (and a few Doctors!) either overstayed their welcome or should have stuck around for longer. You will not believe some of the answers! Oh, and Harry gets an issue off of his chest regarding that Sutekh thing. It's all here and more in this month's Round Table, enjoy.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 401.

We're moving through this season quickly now with only two episodes left! Before the two-part finale though we're diving into the Bridgerton-esque episode Rogue. Have we picked up from last week or does this season continue to be a bit hit and miss?

Normal viewing figures for Series 13 so far.

We're halfway through Series 13 and it's not looking good for The Doctor and her companions. Time storms, Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, a previous incarnation and a mysterious figure not happy with The Doctor. Yes, it is as confusing as it sounds. Try and keep up!

The Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans have had their turn, now it's time to see what those creepy Angels are up to.

No news this week.

Can this second episode carry the momentum from last week and produce another good ep? Lots of Sontar-ha! and the big question still remains... (no, not "What is the flux?" although that is a good question) "Who is Swarm?".

It looks like the storyline with Swarm and Azure is heating up and there's definitely a Weeping Angels connection in here somewhere. Join us next week for our thoughts.

Viewing figures for The Halloween Apocalypse, title and synopsis revealed for Chapter Three and according to The Times, the BBC could be losing a hefty amount in commercial revenue due to RTD moving production to Bad Wolf.

Tis back Who fans! After what seems like a right old age, Series 13 is now upon us. Now the dust has settled since last Sunday and we've watched it a couple of times, what are our thoughts?

We're rolling onto Chapter Two next week, of course, to see what those potato heads are up to.

More Series 13 news as the title for episode 2 is announced plus a small clip of Dan emerges showing him dealing with an unruly trick or treater.

This recently released animated 7-parter went down well among fans so we dive in to see what those Daleks are up to and how the animation holds up.

It's finally here Who fans! After what feels like ages, the start of Jodie's last full series is upon us. Will it live up to the marketing and its label of an epic adventure? Join us as we dive into arguably Chris Chibbnal's most important time yet.

The first episode of Series 13 has a title and a start time (here in the UK). Just over a week to go!

Series 7's finale is a bit of brain melter but is it a good timey-wimey thanks to The Doctor's friends and a certain other Doctor shows up for a belter of a cliffhanger. We chat through it all.

We're looking at the recently released animated Second Doctor story so join us and get your reviews in.

We have a confirmed start date for Series 13! Yes, mark your calendars for Sunday 31st October where we'll find out what all this Flux business is. We also chat about the latest Season 17 blu ray box set and the recently announced DW Worlds of Wonder exhibition kicks off in Liverpool in May next year.

"So fill up your glasses..." meh, we'll stop that already. The First Doctor's Western romp is a strange old story but what did we make of it? A creative effort or wild wild fail?

Yep, one of those "Something of the Doctor" episodes. This one sees the 11th Doctor off to Trenzalore and we get some wrap up on the Impossible Girl thing. Oh, and the War Doctor pops up too.

Welcome to episode 326. There's no review episode this week as Garry flies the TARDIS solo. Instead, he rounds up a couple of cool news items before doing a long-overdue Q&A. Enjoy Who fans!

The News

The Doctor Who Experience is off on tour! After closing its doors in Cardiff permanently the same company is now taking it on tour from March next year in the UK with international dates being announced in the future. With a mix of educational elements and Who entertainment, it sounds great. Also, a very cool sounding book is up for pre-order - The Long Game - which looks at the events at the BBC in the run-up to the show coming back in 2005.

Q&A

Garry answers a few questions from the community ranging from thoughts on Russell T Davies' return to picking a modern Doctor to star in a classic lost story!

Co-host Adam is away on his travels at the moment so join Garry as he assembles Matt, Jordan and Maria from our writing team to chew the fat on the huge news that dropped recently: Russell T Davies is returning as showrunner on Doctor Who!

Some cast members were spotted out and about in Cardiff, including a returning face, and John Bishop has wrapped filming.

It feels like a right old slog but we've finally made it to the end of Series 2. What did we think of this often liked finale? We're not crying, you are.

When we return, we'll be heading over to the First Doctor's era for a Wild West-themed adventure in the town of Tombstone. And all The Doctor wanted was to get his toothache sorted. Typical.

Adam is off on holiday for the next couple of weeks so our next "proper" episode will be on Friday 15th October. In the meantime keep an eye on the socials as there may be a couple of bonus episodes dropping.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 400.

We're back to reviewing individual episodes and this week we're diving into the latest episode from Season One - Dot and Bubble, a dark episode influenced by Black Mirror. Did it succeed in that or was it a Tractator-sized flop?

Star of Arachnids in the UK Tanya Fear has been found after a missing person scare and Adam runs down his visit to see Evil of the Daleks at the BFI.

Hard to believe but we're down to our last few Tenth Doctor stories now, we know, sad face. Until then let's (web) swing over to NYC in the 1930s to see what those Daleks are up to and why are there human pigs knocking about?

Yes! The train is pulling up at the last station for TW Series 2, phew! Exit Wounds is the last story and after the final moments of the last story, Fragments, we're excited to see how this series finishes up.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Chris Eccleston is still adamant about not appearing on-screen as The Doctor while dropping some details about his fallout with RTD and we sadly say goodbye to Tony Selby aka Sabalom Glitz.

We can almost reach out and touch the end of Series 2, so close! In this penultimate episode, the Torchwood team are down but not out as we get treated to some flashbacks showing the origin of Torchwood Three and its current members. Is this a decent story by Chibbers or a lemon?

We've not reviewed a Tenth Doctor story since June and we're nearing the end of his stuff now so let's dive in and see what this is all about. Daleks, obviously but we've not seen it in a while so the rest is fuzzy.

A great ebook has landed from John Collier taking a look at the Doctor Who exhibitions in Blackpool from the 70s, 80s and later in the mid-2000s. Blackpool Remembered is available to download for free here.

It's been ages since we reviewed any Fifth Doctor stories and as a sort of follow up to our Tom Baker month, back in April where we finished on Logopolis, what do we think of Peter Davison's first adventure?

An explosion rocks the TW team and we get an insight into each of their history joining TW and their various alien encounters.

As bare as a freshly mopped TARDIS floor.

Gwen is not happy with Jack who seems to be hiding something as the people of Cardiff disappear. PC Andy is back who tries to get Gwen to care once more but has she been embedded within Torchwood's elitist "alien-only" point of view for too long now?

It's been SO LONG since we watched any Davison stories for review so let's start at the beginning with his first full outing as The Doctor, kicking off Series 19.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. We're away next week so no episode but we're back the week after so stay cool and until then - Allons-y!

Nowt this week.

Clara is back for the third time for the Series 7 mid-series opener as The Eleventh Doctor battles some unruly wifi, in a snazzy new costume too!

More rift activity is causing disappearances around Cardiff and Gwen is determined to uncover the truth, with or without Jack's approval.

We finally got the confirmation of the news we've known about for months - Jodie and Chibbers are leaving the show at the end of next year. We give you our thoughts.

Scary looking circus peeps pop up this time as the Night Travellers try to steal the lives of Cardiff folk. Should be a good creepy one this so what did we think?

Remember when they tried the new format of splitting a series in two with series seven? Yeah, this is the "mid-series-welcome-back" episode with The Doctor and Clara up against some unruly wifi. Happens to us all at times.

Finally, some news on Series 13. We chat about the recent Doctor Who panel at Comic Con and the subsequent teaser.

No, not Mr Cushing, but the Hartnell six-parter that has the TARDIS team on the ropes. Robomen, Slyther, bombs, romance and that speech. Lots to take in but what did we think?

Torchwood goes a bit weird next week as the mysterious Night Travellers emerge from an old cinema to cause horror on the streets of Cardiff.

We didn't mention it in the "proper" news segment but The Sarah Jane Adventures is heading to BritBox next month - yay!

On the surface, this is a crazy idea and the trailer makes this ep look a tad naff but... what do we actually think of Gwen's alien pregnancy, shapeshifters and the bants between parents?

Back to the 60s next week for an important story involving The Doctor's nemesis race of space cans, a sad departure and potentially one of Who's most famous speeches.

Nothing this week.

We review Matt Smith's first finale as Series 5 goes out with a bang, quite literally with Moffat flexing his timey-wimey muscles.

A weird one next week as Gwen finds herself up the duff, pregnant with an alien the day before she's due to mary Reece. Yep, we said it was weird.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

The BBC has confirmed that a Doctor Who panel is confirmed for Comic-Con on the 26th July featuring Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, John Bishop, The Chibbers and, apparently, a surprise special guest.

We pick up where we left off from Series 2 of TW and Owen is not having a good time. Will a random person also in pain help him find absolution and what's with the weird alien shell thing?

More Eleventh Doctor action next week for our review of the Series 5 two-part finale.

Olly Alexander quashes rumours of his casting as the next Doctor and we say goodbye to Jackie Lane.

We're off to Metebelis III to chase after that sodding blue crystal to stop the eight legs from dominating the universe. A decent send-off for Jon Pertwee or like the Whomobile is it style over substance?

Owen doesn't look too good as he seeks absolution. Will the lonely girl on the rooftop help him, or will it be a mission to retrieve an alien device that is proving more lethal by the second?

Rumours about Jodie's replacement are still doing the rounds but nothing of value to talk about.

This is it. We've come to the end of our run of reviews for The Sarah Jane Adventures. We have loved watching and reviewing this show, it really is a gem within the world of Doctor Who and its spin-off's. We get straight to it and see what the last outing is like for our Attic crew.

We haven't spent any time with the Third Doctor in ages so now is a good chance to do that as we settle into our new rotation of reviews. It's his last story as The Doctor so let's see if this ends his era with a bang?

More rumours about Jodie's exit could change the format of the show for the next couple of years and we say goodbye to the White Witch of Devil's End Damaris Hayman.

After our short break of a few weeks, we're blasting back into the review segment with a Tenth Doctor era finale to series 3. The Master is back and seems to have The Doctor on the ropes but can Martha and Captain Jack find a way to help and save the planet?

It's a sad time as next week we review the last ever SJA story. It's been an amazing ride going through these stories and as we wrap on this incredible era of storytelling we're hoping for a great story to take us out on.

The News

No news this week.

Clyde is not having a good time in this story as we approach the end of our run of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Mature themes to tackle and some amazing performances all around. Let's dive in... without getting any splinters.

We're back to Torchwood for our next review and Owen has some tough choices ahead as he searches for some sort of absolution.

We say goodbye to Frank Cox, director of classic Who, who sadly passed away aged 80.

Matt Smith's first episode as we usher in Series 5. New showrunner, new theme, new TARDIS and new companions. What do we think to Matt's first outing?

Clyde gets a rough ride in this story that deals with a big real-world issue as well as the usual SJA adventure we've grown to love.

Thank you all for listening to the show. Until next time have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay safe, healthy and remember – Allons-y!

Nothing happening this week.

It's the end... but the moment has been prepared for. We finish up our Tom baker month AND Tom's era. Not to worry, we've still got plenty of Fourth Doctor stories to review but for now, let's enjoy Tom's final moments as The Doctor.

It was great to hang with Tom B for the last month but all good things must come to an end (for now, more Fourth Doctor reviews coming in our regular review rotation) and so we're zooming back to modern Who for Matt Smith's first episode.

Catherine Tate is NOT coming back to Who.

An important serial this one, setting up the formula for plenty of stories, even in modern Who. A beefy seven-parter full of adventure and the odd bit of cheeky Hartnell.

We kick-off a Tom Baker month next week with the start of our reviews of the E-Space Trilogy. Welcome, Adric and the Marshmen.

We kick-off the fifth and final series of The Sarah Jane Adventures with our review of Sky.

We're going waaaay back, right back to the second ever story in fact, for our review of The Daleks, for a First Doctor story that started the sixty (Earth) years conflict with those pesky rubbish bins on wheels.

Those cute Adipose blobs of fat and the sinister Miss Foster are up for review this week as Donna joins the Doctor full time to kick-off series 4. We fans of this much loved comedic story or do our scores just... walk away?

It's bittersweet but we dive into the last series of The Sarah Jane Adventures with our review of the opening story "Sky".

Yes Who fans, episode 300 is here!

It seems strange to be talking about our three hundredth episode, in a way it's not that many compared to many other podcasts and indeed, a few other Doctor Who podcasts but for us personally it's an achievement we're proud of.

Adam and I started waffling about Who back in 2014 and with the odd week here and there we've consistently managed to record every week. I can tell you that's not easy. With our jobs, family, travel, illness, the pandemic etc it can be difficult but... we love Doctor Who and that's really all the motivation we need.

To celebrate this we've plucked our amazing writers from the comfort of their keyboards to participate in a round table discussion about our fav era's, our thoughts on recent Doctor Who and it's future plus a couple of hilarious digressions along the way.

We could have chatted for hours and we'll definitely get them back on but for now, grab a drink and enjoy as The Big Blue Box Podcast waffles on into episode 300.

Thank you so much to all of you for listening. Seriously, thank you.

Garry

Another slow week, no news.

An emotional one this week as we wrap up Series 4. It's gone by quick and, although we have a few stories to come in Series 5, it feels like the end. What did we think?

Next week we celebrate 300 episodes of the show. There's no review story as we're doing a special round table with our writing team to chat all things Who.

Thank you all for listening to the show. Until next time have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay safe, healthy and remember – Allons-y!

Another slow week, no news.

The Angels are back and taking over NYC. The mid-series finale (we know, sigh) that was the end for the Ponds. Decent one this or does it taste like yesterdays bagels?

The end of SJA Series 4 is upon us! Sad face. Join us as we round off Series 4 so get those DVDs watched.

Thank you all for listening to the show. Until next time have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay safe, healthy and remember – Allons-y!

Nothing this week.

Martha Jones turns up at The Hub this week to help assist with some unexplained deaths (right!?) involving cured people who are suddenly dead.

Some Matt Smith action next week as we check out the mid-series finale of series 7 (yeah that time they did a series of two halves, weird). Is this final story of the Ponds any good?

Thank you all for listening to the show. Until next time have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay safe, healthy and remember – Allons-y!

Nothing this week.

Ah the start of Series 13, arguably Tom Baker's finest series and it sure does pack in some great stories. Do the Zygons provide enough shape-changing threat to make this a classic or does ole' Nessy bring the score down?

Martha Jones is back and working with Torchwood as we approach the half-way point of Series 2. Mysterious deaths as usual but how can Martha help?

Thank you all for listening to the show. Until next time have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay safe, healthy and remember – Allons-y!

We'll still talk merch in our intro waffle if there's anything out there that's caught our eye. Enjoy this week's show. Ready? Allons-y...
