About The Doctor Who Big Blue Box Podcast

Since 2014, your hosts Garry and Adam have chatted their way through every era of Doctor Who, covering modern stories, classic adventures, and spin-offs like Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. We cover newly aired episodes and classic stories going back decades, bringing thoughtful conversation, our signature waffle, banter, and a grounded take on each story. Each month, we're also joined by the Big Blue Box writing team for our bonus Roundtable episode, where we chat about fandom news, recent stories, older ones, and whatever else is on our minds. New episodes every Friday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all the usual podcast apps. You can also listen and read our latest articles at bigblueboxpodcast.co.uk. Don't forget to follow, leave a review, and share with your friends. Thank you for listening, and remember, Aaaaaaaallons-y!

   Who Fans, Meet Federation Strike - Our Blake’s 7 Podcast

   Hey, Who fans! Something a little different is landing in your feed today. This is the very first episode of Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7, a Blake's 7 podcast hosted by us.The show follows lifelong superfan, Adam, and newcomer, Garry, as we work through every episode of the classic BBC sci-fi series together. If you've ever been curious about Blake's 7 but never made the jump, this is a great place to get acquainted with the show.Think of it as the Big Blue Box format applied to a show that shares a lot of DNA with classic Doctor Who — same era, same BBC corridors, same Dudley Simpson on the music — but with a darker edge and its own distinct identity. This first episode covers The Way Back, the 1978 series opener written by Terry Nation.The podcast is well underway, and at the time of this episode going out, we're currently halfway through reviewing Series 2, with plenty more still to come.Thank you for checking out our other podcast, and we'd love you to come along on our journey through Blake's 7.
