It's time for another edition of Doctor Who Hot Takes, but for the first time it's Troy in the (literal) hot seat - with a bowl of chicken tenders and a heap of hot sauce, every time a take is played that's controversial, he has to down some hot sauce-covered chicken!

From her Victorian counterpart to her evolving character across 3 series and varying relationship with the Doctor, join Troy for a ride through Clara's time in the TARDIS - as well as a catch up on some fandom news!

Sorry for the mess-around but I think this one's a valid excuse - a quick update on the next episode of the podcast, now coming next Tuesday instead of today!

Now that the dust has settled somewhat after the 2026 Christmas Special's cancellation, Russell T Davies' departure and the show being put out to tender, what's next for Doctor Who?

No, I'm not being put out to tender... but now I want chicken tenders again. This is just a short update on my plans for the podcast including a new upload frequency and some new series ideas I have to help keep the conversation going for Doctor Who! Please leave all of your thoughts, feedback and ideas in the comments below!

With the news out about Doctor Who's future and the fandom in disarray, there's only one guest we can have on the podcast to give us 80 minutes of delirium and laughs in the face of one of Doctor Who's darkest periods... join Troy AND CRISPY as they reflect on the news of Doctor Who's tender - and have a laugh as they catch up!

Well... we got the announcement, and it wasn't even close to what any of us wanted. From Christmas being cancelled for the show, Russell's questionable departure statement and the lies/questions that have surfaced as a result, there was a LOT to discuss - so Troy did a live episode on YouTube last night. Here it is on audio platforms!

With Russell T Davies' big announcement for Doctor Who coming any time now, one question has been creeping across the fandom - will the Christmas special still make its 2026 deadline, or will rumoured (but hopefully untrue) internal chaos and filming schedule problems cause it to be pushed back? Let's debate it all...

I'm taking another week off to help ease some other pressures at the moment (and give myself some actual free time...) but in the meantime I wanted to share some news for the fandom, as well as announce the next-call in!

In just a few days, it'll be one year since the most recent Doctor Who episode, The Reality War, aired on BBC1, Disney+ and in UK cinemas. 12 months on, is it as bad as everyone said at the time? Join Troy and special guest Cooper Britton of Nostalgia Bait, as they discuss the highs and lows of The 15th Doctor's finale, one year on...
