Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 428. Twenty years after their on-screen adventures, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper are re-united for more trips in the TARDIS over at Big Finish. I've got all the details in this episode! "Back to the Powell Estate, where the Doctor’s past returns to haunt him, and out into the universe where enemies old and new are waiting... " In other news, Doctor Who has landed its first-ever Emmy nomination — amazingly, after more than 60 years — in the category for Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming. (Not something I ever expected to tick off on the "Doctor Who Emmy Nominations Bingo Card"!) Writer Mark Gatiss dropped some interesting thoughts on making Doctor Who in a recent interview, touching on the use of nostalgia, with this cutting line: "...It’s part of the reason we’re in the mess we are...". Oof! It's a great interview and Mark has many of us, myself included, nodding along. We've also got a few other bits worth shouting about: the upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea is rumoured to arrive this autumn, there's a fun interview with Ncuti Gatwa (including a random run-in with Matt Smith), and some insights from BBC Studios' Commercial CEO Tom Fussell on their continued commitment to the show. Oh, and some tasty merch is on the way — including the long-awaited Season 13 Blu-ray Collection. Sonic Screwdriver at the ready. Let’s go.

Hey, Who fans, and welcome to The Big Blue Box Roundtable. The team is all here as we wrap up Season 2 with their thoughts, both good and bad. Did it stick the landing for this lot, or are they eager to get this latest era of Doctor Who long behind us?

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 427. After a couple of weeks' break, we're back and ready to throw ourselves into the finale of Doctor Who Season 2: "The Reality War". The crux of the episode revolved around saving Poppy while dealing with the Unholy Trinity on a mission to resurrect Omega. On paper, this sounds amazing, but does the finale stick the landing and provide a satisfying conclusion to Ncuti's era? Does Susan return? Who's "The Boss"? Are we even pronouncing Omega correctly? There are lots of questions to be answered, so grab a cup of tea, coffee or something stronger and join us for our thoughts on The Reality War.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 426. As we gear up for the big showdown in season two—or is it fifteen, who’s counting?—we're chatting about this wishy-washy world where reality's a bit fuzzy. Things are getting spicy with the Rani and that mysterious baby, and we’re left wondering if this whole setup is leading to an epic reset or just a clever ruse. Last week saw us have quite opposing opinions, so are we more aligned with Wish World, or has this closing act of Doctor Who Season 2 put a fork in the road? Tune in for our usual waffle and review of this penultimate episode. This is The Big Blue Box Podcast, hosted by Garry and Adam.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 425. The stakes are high as the Doctor has to save a galaxy of fans both inside the arena and the viewing audience across the galaxy. This one was a mix of heavy (and at times hard to watch) themes and some comedic moments, so it's good to have some variety to chat through. Plus, we’re treated to returning classic characters the Rani and a surprise (very very very very long overdue) appearance from Susan, which got the feels going for sure. With that being said, are the cameos enough to pull the episode up out of this season's up-and-down feel so far? This is The Big Blue Box Podcast, hosted by Garry and Adam.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 424. We're off to Lagos, where the Doctor plans to visit an old friend in his barber shop, however, there's weirdness afoot as trapped patrons are being forced to feed their stories to a terrifying engine. The episode dives deep into cultural themes and storytelling, making for a visually stunning experience, but it’s not without its confusions.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 423. Lucky Day was another interesting episode! Ruby Sunday’s back in action, trying to navigate life on Earth without the Doctor. Things get dicey when a new threat emerges, and she’s got to save her boyfriend, Conrad, from the Shreek. The episode explores heavy themes like online toxicity and personal struggles, but honestly, it left us feeling a bit mixed. We’re all about the twists and turns, but this one had us flipping back and forth on whether we loved it or just kinda liked it. Tune in as we break down our thoughts, laughs, and maybe a few head-scratchers from this episode.
