A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode! This time, we discuss 'almost' companions in Doctor Who. Characters whom we think would have made good companions or, in some cases, were designed to be companions, then the production changed course. If you’ve never heard a List Makers episode before, these are 20m chats based around making a Doctor Who related list and discussing similarities, differences, and whatever else comes up during the chat!

Our top ’almost’ companions in Doctor Who

With a new non-fiction Doctor Who book on the horizon, this time looking at the creation of Doctor Who back in 1963, Rob sits down for the third time in the life of the podcast with friend of the show and the book's author, Paul Hayes. Pull To Open: 1962–1963: The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched Doctor Who is available from Ten Acre Films on July 24, 2023. = = = ‘Fresh and compelling… As definitive an account of those early years as I have read’ Toby Hadoke When Doctor Who began on Saturday November 23 1963, few could have guessed that it marked the start of perhaps the most extraordinary story in the history of BBC television drama. But there had already been another story, equally extraordinary yet unseen, leading up to the transmission of that opening episode – the creation of the series itself. Pull to Open explores the behind-the-scenes saga of Doctor Who in 1963, when a chain of events at the BBC brought together a disparate group to launch what would become one of British TV’s best-loved and most successful programmes. It’s the story of why these events happened; the BBC creative culture into which Doctor Who was born; how television drama was made in the early 1960s; and an insight into the people who started this epic journey. Drawing from the BBC’s written archives and new interviews with some of those who were there, including Doctor Who’s first director Waris Hussein and original co-star Carole Ann Ford, Pull to Open is a detailed and comprehensive account of the programme’s path to the screen. Immerse yourself in the world of BBC Television in 1963 and discover how a series which was almost cancelled before a single episode was shown survived to cement its place in the popular culture of a nation.

INTERVIEW: Pull To Open: 1962–1963: The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched Doctor Who

Mark Gatiss

From time to time, the Doctor Who Show devotes an episode to a series writer. A great chance to talk about numerous diverse episodes, sometimes from totally different eras of the show, only related by the name on the script. In today's episode... Mark Gatiss. Possibly the most 'Marmite' of all Doctor Who writers, especially in the modern era. Fans tend to love and hate Gatiss' stories... but strangely can never agree which stories are meant to go in which column! Stories covered in this episode include: The Unquiet Dead The Idiot’s Lantern Victory of the Daleks Night Terrors Cold War The Crimson Horror Robot of Sherwood Sleep No More The Empress of Mars Plus a number of 'extras' including Gatiss' New Adventure novels, Nightshade, and St. Anthony's Fire, and the 50th anniversary special, An Adventure in Space and Time. Before then we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including new cast members for the upcoming Ncuti Gatwa era; Davo's wife has written a book; and are there some missing episodes materialising from the ether in time for the 60th? Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Top Doctor Who Scores

On May 13, 2023, our Dave travelled up to Sydney to attend the Sophie Aldred fan event, run by our fellow Antipodean podcasters, The Sirens of Audio. In addition to being there to support the return of small, fan-run events in this country, Dave was also tasked by the hosts to conduct an on-stage interview with Doctor Who author, Jon Blum. This was originally to be a joint interview with Jon and his wife, the celebrated Doctor Who author, Kate Orman, however Kate was unable to attend on the day. This podcast is a half-hour discussion between Rob and Dave about the day in general, followed by about half an hour of audio from the Jon Blum chat. As we mention on the podcast, the audio of the Blum interview isn't up to our usual podcast standards, but we're sure you'd rather hear a version of the chat than nothing at all, so we include it here. Enjoy! Tweet us, Facebook us or email us at hello@thedwshow.net

The Doctor Who Show

We say the Doctor Who Show is, 'where too much Doctor Who is barely enough', so on top of their weekly Series 11 Hot Takes currently airing on the channel, Rob and Dave are back in your ears to prove that tagline with their regular monthly catch-up. A quick swing through the big news pieces of October is followed by some short topics, before the guys take all the listener emails they've received about the first three episodes of Series 11, and use those comments to drive discussion on what's happened to date. If you've been listening to the Hot Takes, this episode will still feel like a fresh take on it all, with comments from far and wide among the show's listeners. If you haven't heard a Hot Take yet, here's your chance for Rob and Dave to summarise Series 11 so far. Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

As November 23, 2019 approached, the BBC started dropping a surprising amount of information about the forthcoming Series 12 of Doctor Who after a relative dearth of information for the entire year. Then, on Doctor Who's 56th birthday, a trailer for the new series dropped. Unfortunately, we recorded this episode a few days before that (!) fully acknowledging that we'd miss the trailer that we knew was coming, however, Rob has subsequently blogged about it. After discussion of what we know about Series 12 during our news segment, this episode then moves onto some short topics including what we're watching at present, then our main topic for the month (as revealed in our previous episode), Our Top 5 Nu-Who Moments. How did we do? Did you like our picks? And as always, we hope you like the episode...!

The twenty-second season of Doctor Who began on 5 January 1985 with the serial Attack of the Cybermen, and ended with Revelation of the Daleks. To classic era Doctor Who fans it's, "the season that got the series cancelled". But is there more to it than that? In this episode, Rob and Dave return with some news, short topics, and a feature on Season 22. Every episode is discussed, alongside what was happening (or not happening) in the production office. Did you like Season 22 at the time? If you didn't, have you warmed to it, over the years? Or were you too young to see it at the time and have come to it with fresher eyes - and more modern TV sensibilities - in more recent times? Does it work, or not work, for you? Did the series deserve to be axed after this season? Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Did you like Season 22 at the time? If you didn't, have you warmed to it, over the years? Or were you too young to see it at the time and have come to it with fresher eyes - and more modern TV sensibilities - in more recent times? Does it work, or not work, for you? Did the series deserve to be axed after this season? Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

The Doctor Who Show S04 E02 – Season 22 Under The Spotlight

The Doctor Who Show has made occasional forays into Star Wars content, in some way paying tribute to the podcast’s original incarnation, Who Wars; the world's first and to our understanding still the only Star Wars and Doctor Who mash-up podcast to have ever existed. Rogue One, The Last Jedi and Solo... we've done 'em all upon release. In this episode, Rob and Dave are joined by Richard to talk about the ninth film in the Star Wars saga and the alleged end of the Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker. What did these three Doctor Who fans make of it? Join them for this quick hour-long podcast where they reveal their thoughts to each other, live, without having discussed it before the record button was pressed. Write to us anytime: hello@theDWshow.net — Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (also known as Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker) is a 2019 American epic space-opera film produced, co-written, and directed by J. J. Abrams. It is the third installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017), and the final episode of the nine-part "Skywalker saga". It was produced by Lucasfilm and Abrams's production company Bad Robot Productions, and was distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film's ensemble cast includes Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ackie, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong'o, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, Ian McDiarmid, and Billy Dee Williams. After the new trilogy was announced following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, it was originally reported that The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson would write the script for Episode IX. In August 2015, Colin Trevorrow was hired to direct the film while constant-collaborator Derek Connolly would co-write a new script (both would eventually receive story credit with Abrams and Chris Terrio). In September 2017, Trevorrow left the project following creative differences with producer Kathleen Kennedy, and a few days later, it was announced that Abrams had been hired to return. Principal photography began in August 2018 at Pinewood Studios in England, and wrapped in February 2019; post-production was completed on November 24, 2019. The Rise of Skywalker had its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 16, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 20, 2019. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its celebration of the entire saga and others considering it unimaginative and not bold enough.
