  • #64 Army of Ghosts/Doomsday REVIEW
    Jul 8 2026

    "And I suppose... If it's my last chance to say it..."


    This week, Kat & Tip are heading back to Canary Wharf for one of the biggest finales in modern Doctor Who as we revisit Army of Ghosts and Doomsday, 20 years on!

    From the mystery of the ghosts to the unforgettable Dalek reveal, the iconic Dalek vs Cybermen trash talk, Torchwood's debut, and one of the most emotional companion exits the show has ever produced, there's a lot to unpack.

    Did Russell T Davies balance spectacle and emotion? Does Daleks vs Cybermen live up to its promise? And after 20 years... does this finale still hit as hard?

  • #63 The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon REVIEW
    Jul 1 2026

    A dramatic death. An impossible mystery. And an incredibly forgettable monster (in the best way possible!).

    This week marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, so Kat & Tip are travelling across the pond to revisit Steven Moffat's blockbuster Series 6 opener, The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. Expect oodles of mysteries, creepy villains, big reveals, and plenty to debate along the way.

  • #62 Villains That Should Return
    Jun 24 2026

    Doctor Who has one of the richest rogues galleries in all of fiction, but whilst some villains seem to return every other series, others have been left gathering dust in the Time Vortex.

    This week, Kat & Tip dive into the villains they think deserve another shot at the spotlight. From classic-era foes crying out for a modern revival to New Who creations that vanished too soon, we're pitching our dream returns and discussing how these characters could be reintroduced for a new generation of fans.
