The Doctor Who Show

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Been to the movies this holiday season? Chances are you saw Spider-Man: No Way Home

Dave and his Space Fall: A Blake's 7 Podcast co-host, Richard, discuss the film here.

BTW, it's almost a year since we did an episode of Alternate Galaxies (it was December 31, 2020 when we looked at The Mandalorian Series 2), so this is a welcome return to our feed. Hopefully we'll have more Alternate Galaxies content in 2022, with a quieter year for Doctor Who ahead.

Crossovers

This month we're riffing on a challenge our listener @alicianeptune set for her YouTube viewers on the channel youtube.com/c/LatinAlice where she asked them to think about placing favourite book, film, or TV characters into other properties. In turn, she was riffing on older episodes of ours, placing Nu-Who Doctors in Classic episodes and Classic Doctors in Nu-Who episodes. This is a very meta topic this month!

Before then, of course, there’s some news from the past month in Doctor Who, and some mini-topics to discuss. You know the drill for our monthly episode by now, dear listener.
