It’s the week after Gallifrey One which means two things: post-Gally malaise AND a giant pile of news, including a release date of April 12 for Season 2 on iPlayer (and also theoretically Disney Plus), speculation on the future of Doctor Who as per usual, a boatload of Big Finish, new books, a new RTD-penned series called “Tip-Toe” coming next year to Channel 4, and endless Youtube cogitation mostly revolving around Steven reacting to things. Take a listen if you dare!

It’s a bittersweet podcast today as we wrap up what has been a fantastic weekend at Gallifrey One, our home away from home. But it’s even more sad as it’s been announced that Gallifrey One will end its unprecedented run of conventions in 2028. It will take a while for the Three Who Rule to process this (probably more than the three years the convention has left), but fun is still had with Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith joining the Three for a recap of the convention, Big Finish secrets, and naturally, talk of The Sandbaggers.
