Broader and deeper than Doctor Who...Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub. Over a decade later, the team has expanded and so has the remi... more

4.4 out of 5 stars from 78 ratings
  • Goodish

    Had been a solid 5 but the obsession with mentioning Nigel Farage and Reform in every exchange is starting to take the shine off it. Sure once they’ve got it out their system it will be back on form.

  • So-so

    As said on a different review - the host talks way too much. Sometimes says something interesting but other times not and just interrupting his own guests. A few questionable opinion too, which we all have to be fair but they spoil the whole show. It could be really good, but a little up itself and opinionated

But where they used to have a ‘no-swearing’ policy, and - by no means an unrelated point - the most enjoyable and wide-ranging discussions among all DW podcasts, it has recently become a disappointing swear-fest. It’s a Doctor Who podcast guys, you are discussing a FAMILY show for goodness sake. JR, you used to better than this. If it doesn’t change back to its old - and superior - w... more
