The Doctor Who Show – Details, episodes & analysis

This month we discuss the 1965 stage production, Curse of the Daleks, which was adapted into a Big Finish Audio in 2008.

Before then we have news and short topics and, after our thoughts on Curse of the Daleks, we have some listener emails, and what else we've been consuming in the world of entertainment. The usual shtick you've come to know and love from us.

The Doctor and Ruby land in 1813, where guests at a duchess's party are being murdered, and a mysterious bounty hunter called Rogue is about to change the Doctor's life forever.

What did we make of it? This is our HOT TAKE.

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode!

We promised our March episode would be a light and frothy romp, as we placed TARDIS teams into movies. This one's a riff on our Crossovers episode from back in 2021, putting TARDIS teams into TV shows. This time around, however, it's the silver screen that beckons. Where will our darlings end up? Tune in.

Of course this is after 25 minutes, or so, of news and short topics to kick proceedings off. You know the drill by now, Dear Listener. Fill your boots.

We promised more Alternate Galaxies content in 2022 and this month Dave and Richard have been to see The Batman. They give their thoughts in this podcast across 30 minutes.

When the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city's hidden corruption and question his family's involvement.

Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / Riddler Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon John Turturro as Carmine Falcone Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth Colin Farrell as Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot / Penguin

Welcome to the 18th episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.

Normally Rob sits down with his co-host Dave, or a guest, to talk about letters from classic issues of Doctor Who Magazine.

In today’s podcast, however, Dave is presenting letters to Rob from a classic issue of Sonic Screwdriver – the fanzine of the Victorian Doctor Who Fan Club.

This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

This is Primary Sources.

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode!

This time, the worst decisions in Doctor Who; both classic and modern. Five from Dave, and five from Rob.

Sunday, 6 March 2022 saw Christopher Eccleston make an appearance at the Supanova pop culture convention in Melbourne, Australia.

Our Dave went along and, as well as obtaining an autograph from the 9th Doctor, also sat in on his Q&A panel later in the day.

What was said? What was the day like in general? 

This is a quickly made, no-frills podcast we're making to capture the moment - and Dave's thoughts - rather than waiting for the flagship monthly podcast which doesn't drop until March 27, literally another three weeks away.

Enjoy!

In late January 2022 Rob and Dave ran a Twitter poll to inform what season of Doctor Who they should talk about in the flagship episode of the podcast at the end of February; the very episode you are about to listen to now.

The choices - and results - were as follows from 143 votes:

Season 11 (Pertwee) 35% Season 13 (Baker) 18.9% Season 15 (Baker) 25.9% Season 26 (McCoy) 20.3%

After half an hour of news and short topics from the past month, Season 11 is then discussed, story by story. What are your thoughts on the season?
