The Doctor Who Podcast

Join Michele and James as they bring you the eagerly anticipated and much delayed Episode 424 of the The Doctor Who Podcast!

Given the (relatively) recent news that the 2026 Christmas Special is no more, DWP424 has been a kinda-casualty in our scheduling. So we will now bring you our “tell all” interview with Ashley in a later episode – although his presence is very much felt throughout this one!

James and Michele therefore catch you up on developments relating to Doctor Who’s now-infamous Tender process, before turning to the sort of drama Big Finish aren’t usually used to – after last week’s snap refresh of their website and App! What could possibly go wrong?!

It’s also Brent‘s turn to sit in the famous Campervan Mastermind chair as he answers questions on his specialist subject which is…… tune in to find out!

And Drew returns with his take on The Final Cut – the first story in Big Finish‘s new Eleventh Doctor range from the new box set, The First Question.

All this – and more! Enjoy the show.

The week has been rather eventful in the Worlds of BBC Television’s Doctor Who! Join James, Brent and Michele as they try to unpick what has transpired.

Enjoy!

This ol’ internetty thing has been positively *alive* with Doctor Who rumours over last few weeks. What’s happening with this year’s Christmas edition of our beloved show?! After Ncuti Gatwa’s fleeting incarnation morphed into Billie Piper at the end of The Reality War last year, the BBC shared their post-Disney+ masterplan for Christmas 2026 and beyond. Journey back to October last year to hear our coverage of that news. However, silence has since fallen. Russell T Davies didn’t even mention the special in his recent interview with James O’Brien when discussing his future, and even went as far as to say, he’s “not filming again until next year”! But did he actually mean Doctor Who? IT’S ALL SO CONFUSING!

So, Christmas Special, or no Christmas Special?! Join Ashley, Phil and Ian as they try to make sense of it all!

Enjoy the show.

It’s all Big Finish here in the DWP Campervan! Or mostly. Join Ashley and Ian as they talk about the latest Ninth Doctor and Rose release, Pandemonium – and then Phil and James take over the driving and review Aegis, the latest Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz story. In between the two, Brent jumps in with his thoughts on the two recently recovered episodes of The Dalek Master Plan!

We’ll be back with Round Two of DWP Mastermind in Episode 424 – don’t miss it!

Enjoy the show.

In this final edition of Series Six of the The DWP Echo Chamber, James and Michele talk about Seasons of Fear, by Paul Cornell and Caroline Symcox released in March 2002 – the thirtieth story in Big Finish’s Main Range!
