Well, as you (may have) heard at the end of our latest episode, the January show will feature an Ask Us Anything as the central topic. Send us as many questions as you like; #DoctorWho, #Blakes7, #StarTrek, film & TV in general, world history, whatever you want to ask us! Cheers!

A fantastic final show for 2025 chaps.

On the comment from Paul McGann. This was from a recent episode of the Gerry Anderson podcast.

There is a long interview with Paul, with some Dr Who chat, but also his life in general. A great listen.

Rob & I each nominated a "fun" New Who story for our December @thedwshow.net ep!
Were they as "fun" as we remembered?
Tune in and find out!

We kind of accidentally over achieved this month! :)
Dec: tackled Top 5 Classic seasons, interviewed @toohot4tv.bsky.social on producing TV, Rob guested with @grumpy2eb.bsky.social about his beloved Davo, we discussed a Troughton Annual on Too Hot for TV, I talked Zamper/FishWank on 42 to Doomsday & @thedwshow.net main ep on fun New DW drops tomorrow!

I think what comes out of the @thedwshow.net List Makers on "Top 5 classic seasons" is that it's not necessarily about the seasons with the highest average scores, but seasons with strong TARDIS teams & consistent tones & ideas which carry you through any weaker stories.

Always fun to guest at the @42TODoomsday staff Christmas party!

In the cliffhangers segment I was given "game changers"; any predictions for my selections?

And for the Roberts books I got to read Zamper, for the 1st time since my 1st read!

Plus, my picks for fanwank of the year!

The circle is now complete. Wait, am I mixing franchises?
Helllo Everyone! This week on the Maran Chess Club, @nathanbottomley.com & I sit face to face and discuss something we've never spoken about before. That's right it's the Five Doctors 40th Anniversary Edition!

I got a DOCTOR WHO book in the Christmas haul this year!

And I can't remember which podcast tipped me off that David A. McIntee had written a Trek book (@2broad2deeppod.bsky.social? @theiainmartin.bsky.social?) but going to check it out!

I admit to growing up with Doctors 3 and 4, so may be just biased. But if I were making this list I'd be tempted to have 4 or even just possibly all 5 from their runs: 7, 10, 13, 14 and maybe 18. I struggle otherwise. I think season 26 would be up there if it had Remembrance instead of Battlefield.
