Happy Magna Carta Day, everyone! One of them, anyway. Now that that’s out of the way, there’s heated debate on The Billie Piper Matter in both The Sun and The Telegraph, and the Three Who Rule add their shopworn takes to this interminable discussion that will be an absolute delight until Xmas 2026. Plus we have a set report from 2004, the iPlayer possibly re-re-re-inventing cable and hosting rival broadcasters, the Ianto Shrine nearing its end and the feelings around that, and most importantly, Part the Second of our “The Mysterious Planet” Classic Series Commentary!

The Three Who Rule are reunited as Steven reports back from his sojourn into the depths of Los Angeles and Gallifrey One and Chris and Warren regale him with tales of The Android Invasion and Warriors of the Deep viewings in Vancouver! Burying the lead here though, it’s a banner day for Whovians as that most holy of 1970s brands, Fisher-Price has finally released Little People in the form of Doctors 9-15, excluding 14. Plus we have a surfeit of Big Finish covers to wildly speculate about, BBC executive Zai Bennett adds to the pile of vague confirmations about the future of Doctor Who, and more!

It’s Gallifrey One time! While the Canadian contingent in Los Angeles this year was low (including both Warren and Chris, who like many Canadians chose not to frequent the environs of our troubled neighbours), Steven represented both the Embassy of Radio Free Skaro, and the nation of Canada (the latter unofficially). Erika from Verity! and Chip from 2MTL join Steven in recapping this weekend’s convention, including talks of panels, and going inside with the many main stage interviews that Steven performed.

It’s that time of year again, the annual Gallifrey One preview show, and even though only one of our august number is braving the geopolitical winds of Canada-U.S. kerfuffles (Steven, if you’re keeping track) that won’t stop us from overanalyzing the schedule and pointing out all the highlights! Plus a surfeit of Big Finish releases, a destroyed Dalek dolly along with 1980s Tegan, some musical deep dives, and more!

It’s the return of STATS! as we ruminate over not just some frankly dismal Disney+ numbers for our beloved Doctor Who but a smattering of other genre offerings who stumbled or triumphed on the way to your eyeballs. Plus the Gallifrey One schedule is out, Blake’s 7 may be coming back, Rachel Talalay continues to win YouTube with a deep dive into Peter Capaldi’s “Be Kind” speech from “The Doctor Falls” in its various forms, and a.feature interview with Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White about their excellent podcast about archive UK telly, “Through the Square Window”!

It’s another exciting week of the Doctor Who interregnum of 2026 and we have exciting Gallifrey One guest updates, another great Rachel Talalay video involving Mondasian Cybermen, Bill Potts, and mirrors, some cryptic BBC App news we don’t fully understand, the usual Big Finish artwork overexamination, and the second part of our Nick Hurran Miniscope, featuring “Asylum of the Daleks” and “The Angels Take Manhattan”!

It’s War Between Eve! Naturally, since we haven’t seen any of the Soggiest Saga yet, we go on about the highs (OG Star Wars rerelease in 2027!) and lows (Netflix buying Warner Bros) before celebrating Jo Martin attending Gallifrey One, the impending Season 21 Collection Blu-ray set, more Rachel Talalay shot analysis from “The Star Beast,” and the finale of our re-examination of Torchwood: Children of Earth, Day Five!
