Hollywood Remakes

While we are in the middle of weekly hot takes relating to season one of Doctor Who (yes, that's officially what it's called, we don't set the rules), we thought it might be fun this time around for our longer, monthly show to do something completely different and take a flight of fancy into what Doctor Who stories we would remake with Hollywood directors.

Before then, news and short topics from the past month including our thoughts on the ratings war raging among fandom at present, Varada Sethu arriving 'early' in Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa heading for the theatre (darling), and more.

Who Killed Kennedy?

Back in 1996, Virgin Publishing was pumping out Doctor Who 'New Adventures' and 'Missing Adventures' novels every month, which were both very popular ranges with fans.

Then it made... this.

Who Killed Kennedy is a standalone Doctor Who novel that is very much its own thing. Tonight, we discuss the novel... what it is, what it's about, and what we think of it.

Before then, news from the past month including our thoughts on Millie Gibson appearing in season two, and much more.

Who Killed Kennedy - Synopsis

On this Sunday's flagship show, we review the 1996 Virgin Publishing Doctor Who novel, Who Killed Kennedy.

We appreciate it might be some time since some of you read it, and many of you might have never read it at all (being a nearly 30 year-old novel!), so this episode serves as a synopsis of the novel, enabling you to brush up on the basic storyline.

Take note, this isn't a discussion, and it rattles along at a fair old pace. If you're not up on the first few seasons of Pertwee (and even a few stories that happened before his era), you might miss some of what's going on in this one. But stick with it, and try to get the flavour of what's going on, and we're sure it will benefit you when listening to us talk about the novel on Sunday.

See you then!

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005 and tonight, The Doctor Who Show team examines it in what must rate as one of the coldest of cold takes ever committed to a digital recording.

What are our memories of the movie on release? What are our thoughts on it now, after a 2024 re-watch?

If you’ve got an hour to spare, sit back, relax, and join us in an ALTERNATE GALAXIES episode that travels to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away to try and review the film, once and for all, with no contemporary distractions.

By the way, we reviewed Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones in March and Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace in February, if you haven't heard our takes on the two earlier installments in the prequel trilogy.

Top Doctor Who non-fiction

In today’s episode we dive into the realm of Doctor Who non-fiction books.

So much has been written about the show over the years - some of it academic, some of it autobiography/biography, some of it in the form of episode guides, some of it in the form of fans writing about their fandom, and much, much more. Which would YOU pick for your top Doctor Who non-fiction books? There's a lot to choose from, so why not let us know?
