- Doctor Who merchandise including reprints of 1960s novels, Eaglemoss figurines, Robert Harrop figurines, and wargaming sets from Warlord Games.

- The Return of Doctor Mysterio, the first new episode of Doctor Who in 12 months. What did the guys think? Thumbs up or down?

- Top TV shows from childhood and why, including: Astro Boy, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Monkey, Odysseus: The Greatest Hero of Them All, The Goodies, Press Gang, Star Blazers, Spellbinder, and Robotech.

Whotiques Roadshow – Planet of the Daleks (Target novelisation)

If you follow Rob Lloyd on Twitter you'll know his profile runs: Actor. Comedian. Hufflepuff. TimeLord. Problem Solver.

One thing it doesn't mention is podcaster and with the recent launch of the excellent Nerd Out podcast, Rob takes the opportunity to sit down with Rob and asks him to choose an item from his Doctor Who collection for the Whotiques Roadshow. Rob selects the Target novelisation of Planet of the Daleks. This leads the two on a discussion of the story itself, the Pertwee era, Rob's appreciation for Pertwee as a comedian with a desire to act and the Target novels in general. A lot of ground is covered during this half an hour.

This is a rebellion, isn't it? (The DW Show Presents: Rogue One)

Rob and Dave from the Doctor Who Show podcast take some time out from their usual gig to review the new Star Wars anthology film, Rogue One.

Featuring listener comments from Jen, Doc, Kate, Alan, Renata and Richard, this is a podcast for Star Wars fans by Star Wars fans (who normally present as Doctor Who fans). Share and enjoy.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (or simply Rogue One) is a 2016 American epic space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy, from a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta. It is the first stand-alone film in the Star Wars Anthology series. Rogue One stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker, and follows Jyn Erso, the daughter of the unwilling designer of the Galactic Empire's superweapon, the Death Star, and her quest to retrieve his plans of destroying it.

Produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film is chronologically set between Revenge of the Sith (2005) and A New Hope (1977). Principal photography began at Elstree Studios near London during early August 2015 and wrapped in February 2016, with reshoots and additional filming taking place in mid-June 2016. Rogue One premiered in Los Angeles on December 10, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 16, 2016.

The Doctor Who Show S01 E11

Rob discusses the best of the past month in Doctor Who with super-sub Doc Whom (of the Diddly Dum podcast), filling in for David while he's away in the nation's capital.

Along the way, they cover:

- The Children in Need sneak peak of the Doctor Who Christmas episode. Does it point to what S10 might be like? And why was the response so muted?

- POWER OF THE DALEKS. Doc was at the BFI screening earlier in the month. What happened, and what does he think of it overall?

- Peter Davison's autobiography "Is There Life Outside The Box?" Rob's been slack and hasn't opened it. Doc's read it. Is it worth it?

- Class. Rob's seen six episodes at the time of recording. Doc's seen four. How are we both feeling about the series as the series ends?

- The Crown. Matt Smith's in it, so we discuss it.

- The X-Files. One from left of field. Doc's watching it for the first time and gives some thoughts as a first time viewer.

Plus, we throw in some randomness along the way about other happenings in our lives. Try it, you might like it...!

Whotiques Roadshow – Complete set of HARDBACK Target novels

For those of you who are unaware, Paul Scoones is the man behind the legendary New Zealand Doctor Who fanzine, Time Space Visualiser. He's also one half of the team who tracked down a missing episode of Doctor Who - specifically 'The Lion', a missing episode of the William Hartnell story 'The Crusade', back in 1999. He's the author of the excellent 'The Comic Strip Companion', dealing with Doctor Who comics, and he's also written the infotext subtitles on many of the classic era Doctor Who DVDs you've watched.

Rob sits down with Paul and asks him to choose an item from his extensive collection for the Whotiques Roadshow. Paul selects a complete set of Doctor Who Target novels with a delightful twist... they're all in hardback. This leads the two on a discussion of the Target novels in general, what attracted Paul to the hardbacks, their value, plus what came later in the form of the Virgin New Adventures and Missing Adventures, BBC 8th Doctor and Past Doctor ranges, right up to the current BBC New Series Adventures.

0:00:00 Theme tune & Doctor Who chat with Rob @theDWshow and David @DkWedgetail

- The Doctor Who Show has been deconstructing itself. You could say it's now the podcast feed that's the show and former segments will now run as their own episodes during each month.

- We've been making Class review episodes. They're on the feed. Have you heard them?

- The Return of Doctor Mysterio. We discuss this year's Christmas special via the sneak peak video that's been released, commenting on super hero themes and Matt Lucas.

- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Rob and David are both avid fans of Samuel Barnett and have a talk about the new series from BBC America. Have you been watching it?

- Four new Doctor Who books are coming out... but not the books you were expecting! These are based on the Mr Men books for Doctors 1, 4, 11 and 12. Why does Rob think 12 is nude?

- Three novels based on Class are being released, too. We'll review them sometime.

- Matt Smith's new mega-budget series, The Crown, is about to drop on Netflix.

- Discussion of confirmed Series 10 writers, plus a classic era writer still un-named. Who would Rob and David like to see return to write the show? Also, what ancient world location will the new series take us to? Steven Moffat has confirmed we'll be going... somewhere.

- Power of the Daleks is getting a big screen release in Australia and New Zealand, but will it look any good? Will newcomers to this style of animation think it was worthwhile?

- David raises the question, "Is The Two Doctors Robert Holmes' worst Doctor Who script?"

- David announces his new podcast relating to The Goodies. Find more information about it on Twitter @pirategoodiespc or on Facebook at facebook.com/PirateGoodiesPC
