4.5 out of 5 stars from 22 ratings
  • Wonderful hosts but …

    ….. sadly, the world is witnessing the demise of a once great franchise in real time. Boy Gatwa is unfit to fill the shoes of his illustrious predecessors and Russell T Davies, the man who successfully revamped the show for a modern audience, has turned into a ten bob hack with no idea how to write a decent script.

    I predict this show will be history within 18 months, which leaves me wondering where the many podcasts will go to. Hopefully this one will survive as theres plenty of classic storie... more

Doctor Who: Chatting Last Christmas with director Paul Wilmshurst
Q: How did you get into directing, and what paths led you to Doctor Who?
His path was winding and varied—from journalism to documentaries to drama, with a gradual accumulation of storytelling experience that eventually led to Doctor Who through persistence, a willingness to take on diverse roles, and seizing opportunities when they presented themselves.
Doctor Who: Two Doctors at Christmas - Twice Upon a Time
Q: How does the on-screen reunion with the First Doctor feel in terms of canon and performance?
Rob and the hosts praise David Bradley's performance, saying it convincingly represents the First Doctor while honoring the era and allowing a respectful, bittersweet bridge to Capaldi's Doctor.

Q: What are your general thoughts on Twice Upon a Time and how does it rank among Christmas specials?
The hosts express strong appreciation for the episode's emotional depth and the concept of memory and kindness, while noting it isn't without flaws; they rank Capaldi's Christmas specials highly and view this as a meaningful closer for his era.
Doctor Who: Chatting The Husbands of River Song with director Douglas Mackinnon
Q: What was it like balancing the energy levels on set when key actors were fatigued after long shoots?
The challenge lay in keeping energy up across the cast and crew, relying on strong performers like Alex Kingston to carry scenes, and maintaining a dynamic pace that fits the Christmas special's tone.
Doctor Who: Chatting The Husbands of River Song with director Douglas Mackinnon
Q: What was different about directing a Christmas special compared to regular episodes?
He explains his aim to wake up UK audiences on Christmas Day with bright, energetic, and humorous storytelling, using visual treats like a flying saucer on a Christmas tree motif, and leaning into screwball comedy rhythms while maintaining the franchise's heart.
