As is traditional after we do a season of hot takes on the podcast, we regroup to discuss the season as a whole. Did some episodes go up or down in our estimation, after the initial hot take viewing? What did the rest of fandom think? How do we feel it went overall? Featuring fantastic contributions from our listeners via X, Facebook, email, Instant Messenger, carrier pigeon, our website, and more, this is our definitive - for now - take on Ncuti Gatwa's first season as the Doctor.
Before then, news from the past month including our thoughts - and the BBCs - on Doctor Who ratings, as well as saying goodbye to legend of the show, William Russell. We also catch up with some classic Doctor Who in the form of the Celestial Toymaker animation, and a re-watch of The Ark. And Rob's really selling off his Doctor Who collection in earnest!

While we are in the middle of weekly hot takes relating to season one of Doctor Who (yes, that's officially what it's called, we don't set the rules), we thought it might be fun this time around for our longer, monthly show to do something completely different and take a flight of fancy into what Doctor Who stories we would remake with Hollywood directors.
Before then, news and short topics from the past month including our thoughts on the ratings war raging among fandom at present, Varada Sethu arriving 'early' in Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa heading for the theatre (darling), and more.
