Description

Broader and deeper than Doctor Who... Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub. Over a decade later, the team has expanded and so has the remit; nowadays we publish episodes approximately three times a week, and the discussion has moved on to include any number of subjects that Doctor Who fans might find themselves chatting about during the aforementioned informal gatherings. So alongside our main subject, you'll find us talking about films, and music, and politics, and other TV programmes, and more besides - and occasionally talking to special guests about their interests too. But of course, plenty of Doctor Who. Links page: https://strangersinspace.weebly.com/links.html Where to find the hosts: https://strangersinspace.wee...

Blue Box 229: Dandies and Clowns - Homo Reptilia

TV Club 104: Class at Ten

2026/10/19

It's a decade since the Doctor Who spin-off that nobody seemed to want faltered onto our screens, which feels like an appropriate amount of time to come back and talk about how everyone missed out on enjoying Class Presented by J.R. Southall, with Ryan Blake

Film Club Extra 150: Resident Evil

2026/10/16

The film franchise spun off from the games franchise reboots with a new instalment from the director of Barbarians and Weapons, but just how successful a revitalisation is the 2026 edition of Resident Evil? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Ian Winterton

Who Review Extra 81: Cold War

2026/10/14

The randomiser places us in a submarine near the North Pole in the 1980s for the modern series return of the Ice Warriors, but what will we think of Cold War thirteen years later Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber and Steve Hatcher

TV Club 103: The Return of Ted Lasso

2026/10/12

If you thought those first three seasons of Ted Lasso might be all you were going to get, if you thought when those storylines concluded that might well have been it, then you were wrong! Three years on and he's back in the UK with a fourth series - but was it right to resurrect him? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Ryan Blake, Simon Brett, Steve Hatcher and Iain Martin

Music Club 36: 2003

2026/10/09

We travel back 23 years to discuss the best-selling albums and singles of 2003, and wonder what else people were listening to Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Simon Brett and Eric Drass

Book Club Extra 02: Share & Enjoy (A definitively inaccurate Douglas Adams story)

2026/10/08

There's a deadline of Sunday 1st November for the funding of this graphic novel about the life and times of Douglas Adams, and while we know how the galactic hitchhiker might himself have felt about such things, we figured it was worth getting the team from Cutaway Comics to have a chat about the project and its genesis and aims Presented by Ian Winterton, with Martin Geraghty, Mark Griffiths and Gareth Kavanagh More details and example artwork from Share & Enjoy on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/room5064/share-and-enjoy-a-douglas-adams-biographical-graphic-novel

Blue Box 228: The Odds and Ends Poll

2026/10/07

The results of our listeners poll rooting through the Doctor Who externalia that didn't quite fit in our regular Doctor polls, to find out what kind of things they liked and which bits they really didn't Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Steve Hatcher and Iain Martin

Film Club Lite 110: Blue Velvet (1986)

2026/10/05

Our very slow meander through David Lynch's back catalogue (the speed of which makes The Straight Story look like an instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise) led to us recording about Blue Velvet entirely unwittingly on the fortieth anniversary of the film's theatrical release - a coincidence nearly as unnerving as Dennis Hopper's performance (not really). Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber

Who Review Extra 80: The Avengers - You Have Just Been Murdered

2026/10/02

It's Steed and Peel once again as the randomiser chooses another colour episode of The Avengers for us to watch; this time it's big screen Alydon in an unlikely extortion plot in You Have Just Been Murdered Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber

Blue Box 227: Dandies and Clowns - the Autons

2026/09/30

We go back over the Autons' subsequent appearances - and even non-appearances - and ask whether more should have been made of them Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber

Film Club Extra 149: The End of Oak Street

2026/09/28

Kids on bikes, arguing parents, dinosaurs and J.J. Abrams; it's Jurassic Park meets E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial but if an executive somewhere thought that was enough to bust some blocks, then he's probably going to find his head on one of them. We disambiguate The End of Oak Street. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber and Ian Winterton

Film Club Extra 148: Coyote vs. Acme

2026/09/25

Our response to the film that nearly got binned - twice! - after Coyote vs. Acme finally saw the inside of cinemas Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Simon Brett

Blue Box 226: Dandies and Clowns - the Sontarans

2026/09/23

We ask whether each of the Sontarans' subsequent appearances was justified, or whether they were just another costume in the cupboard? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber and Ryan Blake
