Season 2 Start Date Confirmed and an Update on The Big Blue Box 38:22

acum 16 zile38:22

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 418. Hey, Who fans! It's been a minute since we last put an episode out and this one is a Garry-solo, news-focused episode with an update on the latest Doctor Who news and how the weekly episodes here at The Big Blue Box will work moving forward. Firstly, the main episodes that you've enjoyed for over a decade on a (nearly) weekly basis will now change to a seasonal format. Yep, we are no longer going to try and put episodes out every week. The two main reasons for this are: we've reviewed nearly everything apart from a couple of animated stories, and when there's no new Who going out and not much news, Doctor Who is a bit light on stuff these days. Secondly, Adam and I, when our schedules allow, don't want to force putting content out as you guys will notice it and drift off. I've seen it happen on other podcasts and it's the last thing I want for The Big Blue Box. So in a nutshell - we aren't going away, we're not going on hiatus and we're not locking the doors to the TARDIS. We're sensibly putting the show on a seasonal format so when we do put content out, we're enthusiastic and have stuff to talk about. You'll next hear from us in April for our first proper season with our reviews for Season 2, then for the spin-off and our next season etc. Lastly, the monthly Round Table episodes will continue as normal, as the writing team have such interesting and entertaining views on all things Doctor Who. Who fans, thank you, it's been amazing and a privilege for Adam and me to waffle to you all (again, nearly) every week for the last 10+ years and we hope you stick with us as we transition into a different format. Also as a reminder - we set up the Cosmic Echoes podcast network this year, and although the amount of content for this podcast will be scaled back, we're bringing you more content overall! Our first new podcast - Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7 - has gone down a treat so check that out if you're a Blake's 7 fan or you've heard of the show but not dived in. Phew, with that being said, the rest of the episode is rounding up the latest Who news including the start date for Season 2, a casting announcement for Season 2, The Sun newspaper progressing their "the show is being axed" story with the Christmas Special now under threat, a ton of money raised at auction for Children in Need, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper back together for more 9 and Rose stories at Big Finish, and you can still grab the Season 7 blu ray collection from a couple of online retailers.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 414. Matt Steele, from our writing team, joins me this week as we celebrate the recent birthday of former Doctor Matt Smith, reflecting on his enduring impact on the franchise and the unique connection fans have with the show. There's not much news knocking about but Ncuti's comment (now edited out on The Graham Norton Show) regarding the potential for a third season of Doctor Who, stirring up speculation and excitement within the fandom, still lingers. With the BBC and Disney remaining tight-lipped about the show's future, we explore the implications of this uncertainty and what it could mean for the beloved series. We finish with Matt's journey into Doctor Who, sharing his favourite stories and the moments that hooked him in with a final thought on the show's future trajectory and whether it might benefit from a brief hiatus to reset and rejuvenate.

In other news, the spin-off series "The War Between the Land and the Sea" is set to finish filming by Christmas and Peter Capaldi feels like being The Doctor is way more fun than being himself.
