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 rem... more

4.5 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.

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
