It’s a real grab bag of news this week with Peter Davison critiquing the current series of Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi being cool as hell at Glastonbury, and a truly mammoth editorial by Chris about the Blu-ray for The War Games in Colour and the cost thereof given that it is only one disc. Somehow we get an hour out of this, and we also have an extensive interview with long-time friends and Televisual Specialists John Williams and Neil Perryman about their new podcast where they watch every television show ever made – World of Telly!
