Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 406.

This week we have a natter on the BBC's annual report and how they feel the latest season of Doctor Who has performed then it's onto our review of The Chase which also happens to be our last ever surviving full live-action review (it's all reconstructions and animated stuff after this). This one is a slightly bonkers story, but does it bring us the best of the Hartnell era? Oh and also, tissues at ready as we say farewell to Barbara and Ian in their final appearances as companions.

Links to the stuff we mentioned:

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 405.

It's been a while since we reviewed an animated lost story and what better story to dive into than the recently released, very Marmite offering, The Celestial Toymaker.

We've not spoken about it much on the podcast other than covering the release announcements (although our roving reporter Maria did a great round-up of the cinema release at The BFI) so it's time to see what all the fuss is about. Are we just as divided on it? Listen now for our thoughts plus all the usual Doctor Who waffle!

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 404.

It's with a heavy heart that we come to our last 7th Doctor story to review. We've put it off for long enough but it's time to say goodbye to Sylvester McCoy (unless we decide to re-review them all. Joking. Or are we? Probably). Is this last story a belter or a damp squib?

It's not all bad news for McCoy fans though as before the review, we chat about the recently announced Season 25 Collection set which looks absolutely gorgeous.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 403.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 401.

We're moving through this season quickly now with only two episodes left! Before the two-part finale though we're diving into the Bridgerton-esque episode Rogue. Have we picked up from last week or does this season continue to be a bit hit and miss?

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 400.

We're back to reviewing individual episodes and this week we're diving into the latest episode from Season One - Dot and Bubble, a dark episode influenced by Black Mirror. Did it succeed in that or was it a Tractator-sized flop?
