Today, a new series begins on Who's There - analysing the companions of Doctor Who and discussing their best moments, character arcs and anything else notable. First in this series, the winner of a poll on YouTube, is Clara Oswald! From her Victorian counterpart to her evolving character across 3 series and varying relationship with the Doctor, join Troy for a ride through Clara's time in the TARDIS - as well as a catch up on some fandom news!

Sorry for the mess-around but I think this one's a valid excuse - a quick update on the next episode of the podcast, now coming next Tuesday instead of today!

Now that the dust has settled somewhat after the 2026 Christmas Special's cancellation, Russell T Davies' departure and the show being put out to tender, what's next for Doctor Who? What can fans get excited about? From surprise convention news to the Circuit Breaker event and even some new merchandise news, join me for a more wholesome, optimistic take on the future of Doctor Who...

No, I'm not being put out to tender... but now I want chicken tenders again. This is just a short update on my plans for the podcast including a new upload frequency and some new series ideas I have to help keep the conversation going for Doctor Who! Please leave all of your thoughts, feedback and ideas in the comments below!

With the news out about Doctor Who's future and the fandom in disarray, there's only one guest we can have on the podcast to give us 80 minutes of delirium and laughs in the face of one of Doctor Who's darkest periods... join Troy AND CRISPY as they reflect on the news of Doctor Who's tender - and have a laugh as they catch up!

Well... we got the announcement, and it wasn't even close to what any of us wanted. From Christmas being cancelled for the show, Russell's questionable departure statement and the lies/questions that have surfaced as a result, there was a LOT to discuss - so Troy did a live episode on YouTube last night. Here it is on audio platforms!

With Russell T Davies' big announcement for Doctor Who coming any time now, one question has been creeping across the fandom - will the Christmas special still make its 2026 deadline, or will rumoured (but hopefully untrue) internal chaos and filming schedule problems cause it to be pushed back? Let's debate it all...

I'm taking another week off to help ease some other pressures at the moment (and give myself some actual free time...) but in the meantime I wanted to share some news for the fandom, as well as announce the next-call in!
