Welcome to Don’t Read the Comments, a podcast where we ignore the show’s title and actually read online comments relating to something going on in the world of Doctor Who.

Tonight, Rob’s on Reddit to read the comments and has found a post from a fan who's just not 'feeling' the RTD2 era. How will other fans respond? Tune in, find out.

This month, we’re diving into the 2001 BBC Books Eighth Doctor novel, Father Time.

Following on from our recent synopsis episode, this is the main event: a full discussion of the novel—what works, what doesn’t, and how it fits into the broader Eighth Doctor era. We also explore the plot, the tone, and some standout characters, including the Doctor’s daughter, Miranda!

Before all that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics you’ve come to expect. Then, after the book chat, we open the mailbag for a bumper listener feedback section—nearly 25 minutes of your thoughts, theories, and reactions. Our listeners are the best.

And if you enjoy our musical moments, don’t skip the end! Inspired by some of that listener feedback, we play a very special song after the closing credits—one that was nearly lost to time after its chance to appear in a recent episode of Gin & TARDIS came and went.
