Episode 151: Mount Who – For Doctor Who Podcast Day 2024

Join us as we task ourselves with something truly monumental on this edition of Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast! All marking Doctor Who Podcast Day for 2024!

Regular panellists Sarah, Charlotte, Simon and Dan are all in session to deliberate on which four personalities from over 60 years of the Whoniverse would be on the Mount Rushmore of Doctor Who? From both in front of and behind the cameras. Our panel evaluate their impact, performances, decisions and legacies as they go... Who made the cut? From the easy charm of Jon Pertwee to the enigmatic father figure of series creator Sydney Newman and the impossibly long legs of Karen Gillan? We’ll analyse each candidates’ unique contributions to the series. Casual viewer or scarf wearing life: this ranking will get you talking and scribbling down your own submissions. It’s the ideal way to celebrate Doctor Who Podcast Day on the 9th August 2024: whether you’re a creative, a listener or both HERE:

Episode 149: The Church On Ruby Road Review

It’s practically impossible pleasing the entirety of Doctor Who fandom, but when Bad Wolf Studios and the BBC confirmed plans for the Doctor Who Christmas Special to return? It came pretty close. Staple of the British TV schedules for over a decade from 2005 onwards and much missed even by the general audience!

On Christmas Day 2023, we were served a steaming hot hour of snow, steeples, goblins and all the trimmings in The Church on Ruby Road written by returning showrunner Russell T Davies. Featuring the first full length adventure of our new Doctor and the debut of the series newest companion, Ruby Sunday.

Now a few months on we bring you a full review of the special: our initial thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of the Doctor and best guesses as to where things could go from here. Join regular host Dan Hadley with original co-host Kyle Wagner returning to the console room! Alongside the ever-insightful Charlotte Shields for some late Christmas cheer! Timed to coincide with Disney+ repackaging the special internationally to launch the first season of this all-important All New restart. Stream or download Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast HERE:

Episode 147: With Ian Levine

There’s been a massive amount of public interest surrounding Doctor Who since its debut. Association with it has both made and arguably ended fortunes.

A tremendously successful man in his chosen fields or Songwriting and Music Production. To fellow fans though, he’s perhaps a polarising yet undoubtedly fascinating person. He joins regular hosts Sarah, Simon and Dan for this extended exclusive new interview. Just as he’s wowing the Whoniverse with a brand-new project, to bring the missing episodes back to life. Where do we start? How on Earth could we finish?? What dirt could he dish? Is Ian Levine really the ultimate Doctor Who fan? Find out when you stream or download our conversation HERE:

Episode 144: & Company at Whooverville 14

Take your seat and listen up! It’s a special episode of our Doctor Who Podcast. The very first recorded completely LIVE on stage with special guests and an audience of companions, friends and fellow fans…

Last Autumn we were invited to cover one of the biggest conventions of the Doctor Who calendar: the 14th Whooverville event at Quad in Derby. Not only that: regular hosts Simon Horton and Dan Hadley hosted this interview panel, with three unsuspecting guests, which you can get to enjoy now in full!

Hear the boys’ question, tease and test their panel: actor Tim Treloar who’s plays the Third Doctor in ongoing audio drama releases. Jonathan Carley’s likewise been acclaimed for his work as the War Doctor on the Big Finish range. Whilst Gary Russell is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable and reliable names in Doctor Who publishing.

Our gratitude to The Whoovers convention organisers Stephen Hatcher & Andrew-Mark Thompson and Garfield Productions who recorded the material for Type 40. Whether you’re listening or watching we know you’ll enjoy this one-off conversation to stream or download HERE:
