Latest Podcast Episodes

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.

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.

Our farewell last week was so heartbreaking that we decided to sneak in one last episode before Christmas. So, here are Terry Wogan and John Barrowman to introduce a heartwarming episode of Flight Through Entirety, in which Nathan and James are joined by Steven B and Dan from New to Who to discuss the 2007 Children in Need special, Time Crash.

See you at Christmas!

Notes and links

A festive shout-out to Elizabeth Sandifer from TARDIS Eruditorum, whose essay on Time Crash James has been reading behind Nathan’s back.

In their December episode, Jim and Martin ease themselves into Whuletide by settling down to watch The Black and White Guardian Show.

It’s something of a festive feast, featuring as it does Rudolph the Two-Nosed Shadow, a space Trotter and some props which look suspiciously like they’ve come out of a Christmas cracker (along with some of the jokes).

The wicked Marshal gets advice from his mirror while our fairy tale princess is prepared to be part of a crystal to get the part of Romana. She’s pursued by a man who’s wetter than a Sea Devil’s vest and he’s feebly assisted by another, whose life seems to be redirected halfway through by a visit from three ghosts – presumably Norman Wisdom, Mr Pastry and a Chuckle Brother.

Meanwhile, the Doctor rants, Romana vamps and K9 switches masters as rapidly as TV channels on a bloated Boxing Day.

But did the lads think The Armageddon Factor was a missing piece in their lives or was it the last orange cream in the Quality Street tin of Television?

Listen to find out!

Strewth! It's Something Who's Australian episode and after Richard shows off his truly astonishing Aussie accent in landing the part of Anton, he's joined by Kieran and Mike to talk about two stories that are set in Australia - Enemy of the World and The Pilot. We attempt to situate Enemy on the Australian continent, discuss its many and varied accents and how well Kent doubles for a Western Australian beach. We also chat about The Pilot's brief sojourn in a Sydney bar, as well as a more lengthy general look at the Series 10 opener. So grab your tinnies, take a prawn off the barbie and settle down to a discussion about Doctor Who's second home. Please contact us on Twitter on @something_who or on e-mail at somethingwho@gmx.us

You can find Kieran colourising black and white Doctor Who on Twitter @The66Ramblers, while Mike is @Servo1968 and Richard is @Richard1J1Smith The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and the closing music remains possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme from Richard on ukulele and kazoo.

As the holiday season approaches we all have a lot of thoughts about traditions. I think it's safe to say, however, that this topic probably WON'T be a Verity! tradition, basically because we can't even agree as to what a tradition IS. But we give it a decent go as Deb, Erika, and Liz talk about their Doctor Who traditions, holiday-related and otherwise. Liz disputes most of it, Erika digs deep and Deb just has a lot of feelings about Elf on the Shelf.

Do you have any Doctor Who-based traditions? Let us know in the comments or drop us a tweet. And don't forget to enter for a chance to win one of seven Big Finish Audio downloads during our 7th Anniversary Giveaway!
