A real mixed bag this time! James and Michele discuss the thirteenth Doctor’s sense of fashion.  Stephen drops in a more thoughtful (and detailed) opinion too.

Ian is then joined by Nicholas Briggs and discusses the Eighth incarnation of our favourite Gallifreyan and possible directions his iteration can now head post-Night of the Doctor.

In addition, a review of the final story in Big Finish‘s first Eighth Doctor and Charlie season, Minuet in Hell and the last part of our Re-Trial of a Time Lord mini-series where Trial of The Valeyard gets put under the DWP microscope! Phew!

Enjoy the show.

Still not enough?! Well then, Ian and Michele continue their trek through the first season of Eight Doctor and Charley Big Finish stories and review The Stones of Venice.

Happy New Year everyone! And what better way is there to start the New Year off than looking back at one of 2013’s most popular and successful series of Doctor Who events?!

Lat year, the British Film Institute organised the wonderful Doctor Who at 50  – eleven monthly events, each of which celebrated a different era of the show.  At least one full story was screened at each event and then a panel was held with Doctor Who alumni from each era.  The events attracted Doctor Who stars from across the ages – from Tom Baker to David Tennant to Donald Tosh, the BFI was the place to celebrate Who in 2013.

In this episode, James talks to Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy from the BFI – the co-curators and organisers of the Doctor Who at 50 events and discuss nearly getting Christopher Eccleston, the ticketing decisions and basically how much they love Doctor Who!

Tune in for Episode 242 in a couple of weeks’ time – be warned: it’s our predictions show!

Another era of our favourite show comes to an end – Matt Smith takes his final bow and morphs into the erratic kidney loving Peter Capaldi.

Get your feedback in on this story and indeed on the whole of the Matt Smith era to feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com.

Join James, Stephen and Ian as they get together to talk about….well, it’s a geek-out so anything’s on the cards.  It’s only natural however that the conversation heads in the direction of reviewing the 50th Anniversary year.  All three attended the Celebration at the Excel so that gets a review along with a chat about all the other celebratory events that have taken place .   In all the excitement, a lone voice dares to say; yes Doctor Who has taken over television – but has there been enough of the actual flagship show itself?  Would we have traded the Afterparty and The Science of Doctor Who for another episode of the show itself?  Hmmm.

Next week – it’s BACK!  Yes, it’s our Christmas Quiz!!
