While we wait for The War Between The Land And The Sea, Rick Tetrault and Ro Karen helped me kill the time by musing over what fictional characters would be fun or interesting if they crossed paths with The Doctor. We traverse the world of television from Quantum Leap to Sex Education as we wonder just who The Doctor should pick up on their travels and go on an adventure with.
We also have a few minutes at the start on the new Director General (and reported Dr Who fan) at the BBC.

A podcast full of worries and recriminations as we look at the end of the Ncuti Gatwa era (among other eras?), the decisions made during this spell, whether Doctor Who has a future, and how a future would even be possible in the current world of television.

The Reality War (Rewrites and Regenerations)
The delay on this episode is mainly due to some audio difficulties with the recording. I've tried to clean it up as best as I can, but it did affect the final product - which is oddly in keeping with it was probably like filming The Reality War. Chris Kocher and Mike Robinson join me to try and make sense of a series finale that was full of incident, but maybe a bit less on coherence.
We also discuss what the dramatic and polarising choices in the final third of the episode mean for the future of the show - or even if there will be a future for the show.
