The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #361 – The 60th Anniversary Specials – Previewed!

Not long to wait now! Join Michele, Phil and James as they jump on board the campervan to (loosely!) preview the upcoming Anniversary Specials The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle.

Whilst nothing was off the table from a spoiler perspective, story elements were not discussed - mainly because no-one knew any! However, if you have a *very* low spoiler threshold, you may want to back this edition up until after broadcast.

We'll be back after The Star Beast has aired next weekend. Or possibly sooner if you are very fortunate..... keep your eyes peeled on the Campervan's feed!

Please note - this episode was recorded (just a few hours!) before the 2023 Children In Need scene featuring the 14th Doctor - therefore it will be discussed on an upcoming episode of the DWP.

Enjoy the show.

What's that?! Two DWPS in one week?! I'm afraid so....

Put the kettle on, pull up a comfy chair and get the fire going (now that summer seems to have departed for good) - and join Phil and James as they sit down and waffle about all things Who. New Doctor Who figurines (or "tat" as Phil calls it), Doctor Who Unleashed, new CDs of scores to Time and the Rani and Revenge of Cybermen - and a natter about Redacted 2 fill the airwaves this time. Be warned though - there are tangents! And more tangents! And tangents to those tangents! And tangents from the planet Tangent!

If that wasn't enough (it was), the episode rounds off with a discussion about a wonderful little Third Doctor and Brigadier story from Big Finish and Angus Dunican. What more could you possibly ask for? What was that? LESS, you say?! Well, hurrumph!

Do get in touch with us on Twitter (or X), Facebook or by email - and enjoy the show.

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!
