As a new series of Doctor Who is soon upon us, Jenn Allen and Ken Deep join me as we list our respective Top 5 opening episodes ("Season Premieres" in American) of a Doctor Who series. But before that, we start our pod addressing the news that Millie Gibson is expected to depart the show at some time in 2025, if not sooner. As mentioned at the end of the pod, "The Companions of Doctor Who" can be purchased here (https://www.tuckerdspress.com/product-page/the-companions-of-doctor-who) Email – Analysingdoctorwho@gmail.com Twitter - @AnalysingDW Instagram - analysingdw ..read more

I'm joined my Emma Foster, Ro Karen & Rick Tetrault to go through Legend of the Sea-Devils. This turned into a general sideswipe of the Chris Chibnall-era, as well as our thoughts on "Thasmin" and the overall (lack of) direction of the show. If that's too negative for you, your spirits will be raised by the arrival of Emma's baby daughter in the final few minutes of the podcast.

Rick Tetrault and Ro Karen join me to discuss a welcome return to form for Doctor Who, American accents, and you'll hear around 12 different pronunciations of Goran Visnjic's name – none of them were correct.

The era of the 15th begins. Chris Kocher and Mike Robinson are here as we pick through the first Doctor Who Christmas Special in 6 years. We discuss both the new Doctor and new companion, and wonder just how long they will stick around. This was recorded before the recent Millie Gibson news, but as we see in Doctor Who, time doesn't go in a straight line.

Our analysis of The Giggle is finally here! Emma Foster, Jan Fennick & a returning Rick Tetrault are our guests, as we talk through the many wild happenings of the final 60th anniversary special (we should note Emma had a few sound issues on her end, but hopefully you won't find that too disruptive).

Jenn Allen and Ro Karen are on board as we break down the 2nd of the 60th anniversary specials, Wild Blue Yonder. We talk about the merits or otherwise of goofy horror, the brilliance of Catherine Tate and David Tennant, and how the 14th Doctor is more like one of their predecessors than you may have realised.

Emma Foster and Jonathan Wilkinson are here as we begin our analysis of the 60th anniversary episodes with The Star Beast. A vertaible cornucopia of topics to discuss, among them Tennant, Tate, TERFs, and most importantly of all, Tuna Madras.

I'm joined by Mike Robinson and Mark Givens to look at the tenure of 7th Doctor companion, Ace. We look at the relationship with Doctor Who and American public televsion, the socio-cultural context that made Ace a companion ahead of her time, and how that contrasted to some of her predecessors (I should note we recorded this before the news of Bonnie Langford's return to the show!) As you heard in the pre-credits, I pay a brief tribute to a deceased friend, Boz. There is currently a GoFundMe for his widow. Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.

Emma Foster, Ro Karen and Jonathan Wilkinson join me as we excavate the time of the 13th Doctor. We talk through where we feel Jodie Whittaker was let down, why Thasmin mattered to the fans, and when we thought the last four years of the show did work. We recorded this as the sad passing of former Doctor Who writer, Chris Boucher was announced. Email – Analysingdoctorwho@gmail.com Twitter - @AnalysingDW ..read more
