The Doctor Who Big Blue Box Podcast (The Big Blue Box Podcast)

Hey, Who fans!

It is sooo good to be back and chatting Doctor Who. Let's get into it...

The News

Chris Eccleston seems to be embracing fandom recently and another example of that is the announcement that he'll be attending the Gallifrey One convention next February. Nice one Chris.

Merch Corner

Fan of Martha Jones? If so then you'll be pleased to know Freema Agyeman is returning to the world of Doctor Who to star alongside Eve Myles in Big Finish's "Torchwood: Dissected" which is out in February 2020 and if you're in need of a new laptop bag, Lovarzi has you covered with their new TARDIS themed offering.

Review story this week: Arc of Infinity

Back to Gallifrey, the Time Lord High Council, traitors, Omega, posh British accents and Peter Davison doubling as the bad guy. How do we feel about this often snubbed story?

Thank you all so much for coming back and listening. Our review story next week will be Torchwood: Combat. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 403.

This is it, Who fans! The culmination of this new era of Doctor Who. Does this episode leave us feeling satisfied and that "can't wait for Season Two" feeling or like some previous episodes in this season, leave us flat? Listen now to find out. Enjoy!

Review story this episode: The Curse of Clyde Langer

Clyde is not having a good time in this story as we approach the end of our run of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Mature themes to tackle and some amazing performances all around. Let's dive in... without getting any splinters.

Coming week after next: Torchwood - A Day in the Death

We're back to Torchwood for our next review and Owen has some tough choices ahead as he searches for some sort of absolution.

The News

No news this week.

The Merch

We chat about the upcoming first entry into the multi-medium arc Time Lord Victorious with two novels which look rather good.

Review story this episode: The Trial of a Timelord - Mindwarp

Mindwarp, the second instalment for Series 23 which means we're halfway through TOATL month. Part 1 was ok so does this one raise the bar some more or are we trapped in a sea of pink averageness?

Coming next week: The Trial of a Timelord - Terror of the Vervoids

We continue TTOATL next week with part 3 where we meet a future companion, Mel, and some not niceness happening aboard the space liner Hyperion III.

Thank you all for listening, and until then have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay healthy and remember – Allons-y!

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 407.

This week's big news comes fresh from the announcement at San Diego Comic Con last week that we're getting a Doctor Who spin-off - The War Between the Land and the Sea. Headed up by a couple of previous familiar (but not the same) faces and U.N.I.T. this starts filming this month and should land next year.

After the news, we're onto our review of the classic Second Doctor story - The Abominable Snowmen. Mostly animated, are these first appearances of the Yeti and The Great Intelligence culminate in a great story or were we left out in the cold?

The News

Nothing to chat about this week.

Review story this episode: The Hand of Fear

After a couple of months of modern era Who it's awesome to be firing up the nuclear reactor and checking out some Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane action in this creepy four-parter from series 14.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Children of Earth "Day One"

We found the first two series of TW a bit up-and-down so does this (almost) mini-series arc provide a more consistent quality of storytelling?

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

The News

Coming next week: The Trial of a Timelord - The Ultimate Foe

Time to wrap up the TOATL review with part 4. The Ultimate Foe reveals the Valeyard's master plan but does the performances bring this two-parter finale up to par?

Thank you all for listening, and until then have a great week, take care of yourselves, stay healthy and remember – Allons-y!

The News

Nothing exciting, an update on viewing figures for the last two episodes.

Merch Corner

The new design has landed for the upcoming Series 12 steelbook and it looks amazing.

Review story this week is: Ascension of the Cybermen

Last week was a good set up for this week's show, it's Cybermen/Cyberdrones/Cyberguards and Cybercarriers all the way. The Doctor has fought these guys before but are they different enough to provide a challenge? What's Ashad's game plan? Who or what are the Timeless Children?

Thank you all for listening this week. Our review story next week will be the Series 12 finale - "The Timeless Children". Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

Merch Corner

Blu rays and steelbooks all round as Series 5 and the upcoming Series 12 are now available to pre-order.

Review story this week is: The Moonbase

Classic Cybermen this week as the 2nd Doctor, Jamie, Polly and Ben try to survive in this base under siege four-parter. They do say too much sugar is bad for you!

A huge, big, massive thank you to all of you who have listened to our show in 2019 (and prior). This is our last show for this year as we embark on our two-week break. We will be back on either 3rd Jan or 10th Jan with our reviews for the Series 12 opener "Spyfall".

We have lots of Doctor Who still to cover and no doubt we'll be out and about throughout 2020 at various events and cons so will be another busy year for us.

Until then we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year. Take care of yourselves and remember... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallons-y!

It's the 40th anniversary of the start of The Fifth Doctor era and we throw our fav stories and moments in for a little reminisce before chatting about a subject picking up traction in mainstream media - should the BBC/Bad Wolf/Who in general look into de-ageing or deep fake technology to make older actors look like their younger selves or even resurrect deceased actors entirely like LucasFilm have done with Star Wars?

Thank you for listening, the team will be back next month to discuss more Doctor Who. From all of us here at The Big Blue Box - Aaaaaaaaaallons-y!

This one is a slightly bonkers story, but does it bring us the best of the Hartnell era? Oh and also, tissues at ready as we say farewell to Barbara and Ian in their final appearances as companions.

Review story this week is: The Ambassadors of Death

Super cool and suave, the Third Doctor is on a mission to stop galactic war while dealing with conspirators and generally bad people. Does this James Bond-style story serve up the goods or does the 7-part run time feel like too much of a slog?

Merch Corner

An awesome new collection of short stories is out in October in the style of the old Target books titled "The Target Storybook" which has a couple of interesting authors and the next documentary DVD from Reeltime Pictures is out this November called "More Monsters".

"SJA - The Mad Woman in the Attic" Review

Poor old Rani, it looked like fate had dealt her a rotten hand and she was doomed to spend her days in the darkness in Bannerman Road but after some great storytelling, all's not what it seems and the future is not set. It's so great to be back on the SJA reviews so did this one continue our good vibes with the Attic crew?

On the next show, our review will be the 5th Doctor story - Arc of Infinity. Until then have a great couple of weeks and remember - Allons-y!

Review story this episode: Torchwood: From Out of the Rain

Scary looking circus peeps pop up this time as the Night Travellers try to steal the lives of Cardiff folk. Should be a good creepy one this so what did we think?

Coming next week: Torchwood: From Out of the Rain

Torchwood goes a bit weird next week as the mysterious Night Travellers emerge from an old cinema to cause horror on the streets of Cardiff.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 413.

I'm joined by a special co-host this week - Maria from the writing team! This week, we take a look at the buzz surrounding Ncuti Gatwa's comments about a potential third season of Doctor Who, which sparked controversy among fans along with the implications of Gatwa's remarks, examining how they were edited during a recent appearance on the Graham Norton Show and the BBC's subsequent response.

In other news, the spin-off series "The War Between the Land and the Sea" is set to finish filming by Christmas and Peter Capaldi feels like being The Doctor is way more fun than being himself.

We close out the episode with Maria sharing her personal journey as a Doctor Who fan, reflecting on her early experiences with the classic series and her admiration for Peter Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor.
