Welcome to Episode 295 of The Doctor Who Podcast!

Join the team as they geekout over the latest Who News, talk about how to deal with being self-conscious when dressed as The War Doctor in a coffee shop, talk Daleks versus Mechanoids in a review of Big Finish‘s The Juggernauts and re-visit Bill Pott’s introduction in a retrospective of Season 10’s The Pilot – the opening episode of Peter Capaldi’s final series as The Doctor

Several of our wonderful listeners have spotted that our Series 2 episodes are little longer (in the case of Episode 294, a *lot* longer!) than they were back in the olden days. The move to a monthly release schedule has allowed us to record more segments and produce longer episodes.

Not every episode of the DWP will use the multi-segment/multi-host format of #293 to #295 – we will mix it up a little occasionally to keep you (and us) on our collective toes! However, including the “contents” of each Episode in the show notes will allow you to locate/skip to or over a specific segment if you choose. We are looking at introducing chapter markers in future episodes, but in the meantime here is a list of segments in this episode:

00:00 to 16:35 Introduction and news (James, Phil and Ian)
16:35 to 32:05 Big Finish: The Juggernauts review (Drew and Michele)
32:10 to 58:17 Cosplay: what, why, how and does it cost loads? (Phil, Stephen and Drew)
58:17 to 01:14:37 Featured Episode review – The Pilot (James, Phil and Ian)
1:15:12 Outro (James, Phil and Ian)
1:18:48 VAM!!
