There’s new stirrings in the world of Doctor Who production, one being an official BBC search for new producers of an new animated Doctor Who series for Time Tots on CBeebies, and a much more tenuous rumour about discontent between Russell T Davies, a potential streaming suitor, and a push for a grittier, aged-up series. Join the Three Who Rule who cogitate on the possibilities of Doctor Who’s future, along with Big Finish news, the improbable return of 80s laff-fest Spaceballs, and Part One of our Classic Series Commentary for The Visitation!

Doctor Who Season 2, and the Ncuti Gatwa era, are over, Billie Piper is The Doctor (maybe?) and the Three Who Rule are left to pick up the pieces and look at the Doctor Who Unleashed – 20 Years in Wales retrospective, Amanda-Rae Prescott’s critique of the Fifteenth Doctor era for Den of Geek, more Dugga Doo shenanigans, a look at friend of the show Rachel Talalay’s use of the “oner” in the TV show Without a Trace, and more, merely setting the stage for the return of Fluid Links!

It’s the end, but the moment is prepared for as Steven, Warren, and Chris give their varied takes on “The Reality War”, the final episode of Season 2 and the last bit of Doctor Who on our screens until we’re graced with The War Between the Land and the Sea, presumably later this year(?) A marathon session covering a controversial-ish regeneration, RTD’s storytelling habits, speculation on the Disney+ deal, further speculation on the future of Doctor Who and television in general, and so much more as the discussion spans more than two hours! Listen if you dare!
