The worlds of Doctor Who collide once more as the BBC launches into new Fugitive Doctor adventures via Circuit Breaker, a multi-platform saga in the tradition of Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day,.The Three Who Rule are somewhat skeptical about the whole business, despite the welcome addition of a new and quite snazzy hat for Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor! There’s also an Entertainment Weekly list of the top 50 Doctor Who stories of the modern era which is just as non-controversial as you’d think, articles about missing episodes in general and the The Daleks’ Master Plan in particular, multicam from School Reunion and an extended hockey-Who metaphor like you’ve all been clamouring for! And speaking of long-awaiting things, we have the conclusion of our latest Classic Series Commentary with Part Four of The Mysterious Planet!

More exciting coverage of missing episodes….but this time not Doctor Who! Yes, a cutting copy of a 1968 episode of Morecambe & Wise has been discovered. But while a missing episode has been born anew, the past must fall as the Ianto shrine is finally disassembled with many a Ianto-ist in attendance along with Ianto himself, Gareth David Lloyd. Plus the usual Big Finish Zapruder-ing, Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo on Canadian TV, and our feature interview with Blake’s 7 Production Diary Series C with creators Jonathan Helm and Grahame Robertson! Maximum Power!

The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts. But that’s not all we also have an interview with Toby Hadoke, who hosted a screening at Riverside Studios and reflects with Steven on the screening, the episodes, and the overall wonder that is their return!

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!
