  • Creepy

    Ok but spoilt by the “whacky” student lingo that pervades every sentence. Play the drinking game every time “dude” “yissss” “merch” “ Crimbo” or “ep” is mentioned and you’ll wake up in intensive care.

    Good subject matter let down by yucky presentation. Shame

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Roundtable June 2025: S2 Wrap-Up and the Future of Doctor Who
Q: Would you rather have the show come back now with Russell T. Davis and everybody just resuming service? If there was announcement that went out tonight that said this has all been a ruse, we've actually been filming season three with a new Doctor and it lands later this year. Would you be happy with that or would you rather a break for five years and the show come back with a complete reset?
Yes, I think I'd prefer a reset at this point where it completely reinvents itself with new storytelling and direction.
Round Table - January 2025
Q: In terms of what you're asking, Garry, do you think it's a good Doctor Who Christmas special?
It's kind of in the middle, not the best or worst, could be better.
Round Table - January 2025
Q: How do you think it stacks up to the previous Christmas specials we've had since 2005?
It's decent, but it doesn't reach the heights of the best specials.
Special Co-Host Maria Kalotichou and That Graham Norton Edit
Q: What's your favorite episode?
Maria states it's difficult to choose just one, but 'Earthshock' stands out, along with 'The Visitation'.
Special Co-Host Maria Kalotichou and That Graham Norton Edit
Q: What was your first introduction to Doctor Who?
Maria recalls being aware of Tom Baker as a child and her first clear memory involving the story 'Destiny of the Daleks'. The 'Five Faces of Doctor Who' series reignited her passion for the show.
