Well, that was a surprise! This week saw the announcement that Bonnie Langford will reprise the role of Melanie Bush in the series of Doctor Who alongside Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor Who! Sadly the news broke too late for us to cover in any great detail, but Phil and James do discuss briefly at the top of the episode.

Michele then joins James to talk about the latest trailer, the titles of the upcoming specials and the latest casting news.

And feedback! We have a brand new Facebook Group (20 years late, we know) so we talk about some of the messages our wonderful listeners have been posting.

Then – it’s soapbox time! James and Michele talk about the Ninth Doctor range from Big Finish Productions. It’s been a while since we had a chinwag about the output from Big Finish without reviewing a specific release. So how has Christopher Eccleston’s return to Doctor Who landed with fans now we have nine box sets?!

Join us later this month for part two of our series, Once and Future Review! Chapter Two is being released on 14 June – our review will be online as soon as possible after that!

Get in touch with the Campervan in the usual ways – feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, on Twitter or via Facebook.

Enjoy the show.
