This month we combine a couple of suggestions from listeners and examine Doctor Who adventures that would have made a good yarn to set a regeneration in, versus what we actually got at the end of a Doctor's era. Can you think of any stories that fit this category?

Season One (2024) Wrap Show
Sunday Jun 30, 2024
Sunday Jun 30, 2024
As is traditional after we do a season of hot takes on the podcast, we regroup to discuss the season as a whole. Did some episodes go up or down in our estimation, after the initial hot take viewing? What did the rest of fandom think? How do we feel it went overall? Featuring fantastic contributions from our listeners via X, Facebook, email, Instant Messenger, carrier pigeon, our website, and more, this is our definitive - for now - take on Ncuti Gatwa's first season as the Doctor.
Before then, news from the past month including our thoughts - and the BBCs - on Doctor Who ratings, as well as saying goodbye to legend of the show, William Russell. We also catch up with some classic Doctor Who in the form of the Celestial Toymaker animation, and a re-watch of The Ark. And Rob's really selling off his Doctor Who collection in earnest!
