Rob and Dave discuss what episodes of Nu Who they think Classic Era Doctors would work in - and why. What Nu Who story would Dave liked to see his beloved First Doctor in?

The Doctor Who Show S03 E06 – Season 5 and fan opinion

The fifth season of Doctor Who began on 2 September 1967 with The Tomb of the Cybermen and ended on 1 June 1968 with The Wheel in Space. Only 22 out of 40 episodes are held in the BBC archives; 18 remain missing. As result only 2 serials exist entirely.

Rob and Dave discuss each episode of Season 5 briefly, examine fan opinion past and present, and also ponder if each story is a "base under siege" adventure, as fan theories suggest.

Of course they also rip into some current Doctor Who news and events beforehand and hope you enjoy the episode!

The DW Show Presents: Solo: A Star Wars Story

Like at the end of 2016 where Rob and Dave turned their gaze towards Rogue One, then returned in late 2017 to look at The Last Jedi, the Doctor Who Show returns to look at Solo: A Star Wars Story.

But where's Rob?

Join Dave and Richard (his co-host from the Blakes 7 podcast, Spacefall), for this quick hour-long podcast where they reveal their thoughts to each other, live, without having discussed it before the record button was pressed.

And maybe Rob will explain why he's not doing the review.

The Doctor Who Show S03 E05 – Queer Who

The third series of The Doctor Who Show continues with Rob and Dave discussing the very broad topic of how queerness has related to Doctor Who over the years.

Over the past month, on a variety of platforms they've asked listeners, what does that mean to you? Does Doctor Who have a disproportionately gay following? If so, why? And who are the LGBT characters (implicit or implied!) you’ve loved the most? Are there any you disliked?

Before taking on those questions - and a lot more - they do a quick whip around some recent Doctor Who news as well as what’s happening in their own fandom at present.

Hear about 500 episodes of classic Who coming to Twitch TV! Learn more about the upcoming James Godd novel, Doctor Who Meets Scratchman! How much did the first Doctor Who script recently sell for? And vale to Graham Strong, one of the most unsung, but important, figures in Doctor Who fandom. Plus a whole lot more!
