For this Dave-lite month (while he travels the world yet again), we ironically have a bumper podcast featuring The Podcast of Decision 2 - a pre-recorded segment with Dave, his podcasting partner on Spacefall: A Blakes 7 podcast and the Goodies Pirate Podcast, Richard, and the guys from the 42 to Doomsday podcast, Rob and Mark.
If you're unfamiliar with The Podcast of Decision, in November 2018, Rob and Dave from The Doctor Who Show sat down in a hotel room with Todd and Nathan from Flight Through Entirety (and Jodie into Terror), to record a breezy wander through all of Doctor Who via some games Dave devised. Dave called this recording... you guessed it... The Podcast of Decision.
The Podcast of Decision 2 on this episode is top and tailed with news, views, and quite a lot of chuckling from your regular host Rob (not to be confused with 42 to Doomsday's Rob), along with Richard - pulling a double shift this month and making his debut on the show as as a co-host. Confused? It will all make sense when you press play. We hope.
David Kitchen will return to his co-host mic in The Doctor Who Show S04 E09.

They call these episodes, Alternate Galaxies.
In this episode, Rob cedes his seat to the co-host of Dave’s Goodies and Blakes 7 podcasts, Richard, so he and Dave can talk about the recent Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Spoilers abound! You have been warned!

How has a Doctor Who podcast got through almost four seasons without doing a Cyberman episode? A great question, but the Doctor Who Show has achieved that. Until now.
In this episode, Rob and Dave talk Cybermen in a nice, loose discussion encompassing the 60s, 70s, 80s, Wilderness Years, Nu-Who, Big Finish and other media that the silver giants have appeared in. All interspersed with their own feelings on the overall Cyberman concept, behind the scenes, and more.
Of course, the episode also features news and mini-topics, including Doctor Who's no-show at SDCC 2019.

Doctor Who has such a rich and varied history that, at different times in its development, quite accomplished people in front of and behind the cameras have been overshadowed by other talented people through no real fault of their own.
In this episode, Rob and Dave seek to redress the balance to some degree by naming their cast and crew members who were 'living in the shadows' of others during their time on the show. Examples come from 60s, 70s, 80s, and Nu-Who.
Of course, the episode also features news and mini-topics, including some remarks on the passing of Paul Darrow, who was very dear to Dave and greatly respected by Rob, too.

The twenty-second season of Doctor Who began on 5 January 1985 with the serial Attack of the Cybermen, and ended with Revelation of the Daleks.
To classic era Doctor Who fans it's, "the season that got the series cancelled". But is there more to it than that?
In this episode, Rob and Dave return with some news, short topics, and a feature on Season 22. Every episode is discussed, alongside what was happening (or not happening) in the production office.
Did you like Season 22 at the time? If you didn't, have you warmed to it, over the years? Or were you too young to see it at the time and have come to it with fresher eyes - and more modern TV sensibilities - in more recent times? Does it work, or not work, for you? Did the series deserve to be axed after this season?

Rob and Dave occasionally take a look at great TV series and movies they enjoy, broadly from the genres of sci-fi and fantasy.
They call these episodes, Alternate Galaxies.
In this episode, however, Rob hands over to Nathan Bottomley and James Sellwood (Flight Through Entirety, Bondfinger, Jodie Into Terror), and Steven B (New to Who), to sit down with Dave to discuss today’s topic... Press Gang. This is an early Steven Moffat series which may just hide some clues about where Moffat's career would go in the future... and did. Enjoy!
—
Press Gang is a British children's television comedy-drama consisting of 43 episodes across five series that were broadcast from 1989 to 1993. It was produced by Richmond Film & Television for Central, and screened on the ITV network in its regular weekday afternoon children's strand, Children's ITV, typically in a 4:45 pm slot (days varied over the course of the run).
Aimed at older children and teenagers, the programme was based on the activities of a children's newspaper, the Junior Gazette, produced by pupils from the local comprehensive school. In later series it was depicted as a commercial venture. The show interspersed comedic elements with the dramatic. As well as addressing interpersonal relationships (particularly in the Lynda-Spike story arc), the show tackled issues such as solvent abuse, child abuse and firearms control.
Written by ex-teacher Steven Moffat, more than half the episodes were directed by Bob Spiers, a noted British comedy director who had previously worked on classics such as Fawlty Towers. Critical reception was very positive, particularly for the quality of the writing, and the series has attracted a cult following with a wide age range.

Terrance Dicks (born 14 April 1935) is an English author and former television screenwriter, script editor and producer.
To classic era Doctor Who fans, however, he is simply, "Uncle Terrance".
In this episode, the first of the podcast's fourth series (so technically their third birthday, even though they don't even bother to mention it), Rob and Dave return with some news, short topics, and a feature on Terrance Dicks.
What are your favourite Terrance Dicks penned TV episodes or books?
