Welcome to the eleventh episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.
In today’s podcast, Rob sits down with Mark John from the Diddly Dum podcast to discuss the letters from a vintage issue of DWM from Doctor Who's 25th anniversary year.
This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

On July 29, the BBC announced that Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker would be leaving Doctor Who after a six-part series later in 2021 and three specials in 2022, ending around November with the centenary celebrations of the BBC.
In the spirit of our '21 Replacements For 12' episode on February 1, 2017 (where we came up with 21 potential new Doctors to replace Peter Capaldi), here we discuss 14 picks (seven each), to replace Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor.
We also discuss Joe Michael Straczynski (aka 'JMS') throwing his hat into the ring to be the new showrunner of Doctor Who. Naturally, we approve.
Who would YOU cast as the 14th Doctor? Why not get in touch and let us know?

Early in July we ran a Twitter poll with two Modern Who series picks from Dave and two from Rob. We asked which one you'd like us to discuss in the July episode and the results, after 268 votes were...
Series 7a - 9.3%
Series 6 - 14.6%
Series 9 - 35.4%
Series 2 - 40.7%
So tonight we honour the vote by discussing David Tennant's debut series as The Doctor. What did we make of it at the time? What do we think of it now?
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 flagship show by now, dear listener.

Welcome to the tenth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.
Normally Rob sits down with his co-host Dave, or a guest, to talk about letters from classic issues of Doctor Who Magazine.
In today’s podcast, however, Dave is presenting letters to Rob from a classic issue of Sonic Screwdriver – the fanzine of the Victorian Doctor Who Fan Club.

Regular listeners will know we don't talk a lot of Big Finish on the show. We occasionally mention it in news stories and Rob recently reviewed the new Eccleston box set, "Ravagers", but on the whole we aren't a Big Finish podcast and often point our listeners towards the excellent, Sirens of Time podcast by fellow Aussies Dwayne Bunney and Philip Edney.
Tonight, however, we talk about our backgrounds with Big Finish... what we have and haven't heard... what we'd like to do with our Big Finish listening in the future... and most importantly of all, we review THE HOLY TERROR by Rob Shearman, as voted by YOU.
Before then, of course, we have some news from the past month in Doctor Who, and some mini-topics we want to discuss. You know the drill for our flagship show by now, dear listener.

Welcome to the ninth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on our podcast feed every month in addition to The List Makers and our flagship Doctor Who Show episodes.
These are short podcasts where Rob sits down with a guest and reads letters – the primary sources of the title – about Doctor Who from the 80s and 90s, for the purpose of kick-starting a conversation. Vitally, the guest doesn’t know anything about the content of the letters before we record.
In this episode, Rob talks to Richard Smith from the Something Who podcast about the letters in DWM from August of 1987!
This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

What started as an off-hand comment in an episode last season has grown into its own topic on today's show - Cool Spaceships in Doctor Who! Which are the ships we think are cool between 1963 and 2021... and why?
Before then, we do our usual news and short topics which, this month, includes some commentary on both the Noel Clarke and John Barrowman situations. Topics we aren't happy to be talking about but which, as we say in the episode, would be conspicuous by their absence if we ignored them. We also look at the BBCs stance on fan-created content.
Later in the episode it's over to our listeners for three great picks from our mailbag. And that's May!

Welcome to the eighth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in addition to The List Makers and our flagship Doctor Who Show episodes.
These are short (20 minute-ish) shows where Rob sits down with a guest and reads letters – the primary sources of the title – about Doctor Who from the 80s and 90s, for the purpose of kick-starting a conversation. Vitally, the guest doesn’t know anything about the content of the letters until the recording.
In this episode, Rob talks to his Doctor Who Show co-host, Dave!

Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Ravagers is the mouthful of a title that is an umbrella for three audio adventures released May 13 featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, written by Nicholas Briggs. Story details below.
In this quick episode of The Doctor Who Show Presents, Rob flies solo to talk about listening to all three stories on the day of release. This is quite spoiler-free although, as always, if you are sensitive to knowing anything, don't listen!

On July 29, 2018, Rob and Dave released the popular, 'Classic Doctors in Nu Who Episodes' episode. Quite why they didn't follow this up with a sequel covering the reverse scenario question eludes them to this day.
Enter listener Owen Prince (@kellogs24 on Twitter if you want to say hello), who recently suggested, ever so nicely, that making the sequel - the podcast you'll hear today - would be a really top idea.
As you know, we love hearing from our listeners, and we took the idea to heart.
Tune in to hear which classic stories we'd insert Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker into. Some choices might seem obvious, but some will definitely catch you by surprise. They're off the wall!
Before we get to that, of course, there's our usual news and short topics. The feature content starts around the 25 minute mark if you're looking this up at a future date and want to skip the preamble.

Following the popularity of our PRIMARY SOURCES episodes since they started dropping late in 2020 - particularly their 20 minute run-time - the Doctor Who Show is unveiling a new monthly show with a similar short format.
Doctor Who fans love lists. Are we right?
The List Makers will see the guys take a topic each month that involves creating a Top 5 list. They will then run through their lists, with minimal interruption to each other, then have an open discussion of both lists.
It's all about the chat!
