Trev, James, Tom and Leeson have a bit of a geekout this week about the effect of social media on Doctor Who, and the way we consume our favourite show.

With the explosion over the last decade of sites like Facebook and Twitter, the way Doctor Who fans get their news and talk about the show has changed dramatically.

With this change many benefits have occurred, but also there is a downside.

The boys discuss this issue and try and get to the bottom of the question “Is social media good for Doctor Who?”
