ATMOS Fear (The Sontaran Stratagem / The Poison Sky)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 11 secondsIn today’s episode we look at the 2008 TV story, The Sontaran Stratagem / The Poison Sky.
Fifty-two people across the world in eleven different time zones die at the exact same time. The only connection: they all have ATMOS installed in their vehicles. Martha Jones, now a UNIT doctor, summons the Tenth Doctor back to modern-day Earth to help figure out why, but an old enemy lies in wait...
Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the TV episodes chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics.
And also stick around after the show ends, if you're so inclined, for a short discussion of the final episode/final season of THE BOYS, as well as commentary about the show over the years.
Enjoy, dear listener.

Doctor Who: The Movie (Gin & TARDIS)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 7 secondsJoin Dave from the Doctor Who Show, Rob and Mark from 42 to Doomsday, and Richard from Spacefall: A Blakes 7 Podcast, after knocking back a few gin and tonics at Dave’s place and watching 1996's Doctor Who: The Movie.
This podcast goes out two days short of the movie's 30th anniversary.
Developed as a co-production between Universal Studios and BBC Worldwide, it premiered on 12 May 1996 on the Canadian television station CITV in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 15 days before its first showing in the United Kingdom on BBC One and two days before being broadcast in the United States on Fox.
The movie follows the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy, who is shot shortly after arriving in 1999 San Francisco while transporting the remains of his old enemy, The Master. He regenerates into the Eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, and teams up with surgeon Grace Holloway to stop the Master from stealing the Doctor’s remaining lives by opening the Eye of Harmony inside the TARDIS.

Blood, Booze & the Doctor
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 32 minutes and 49 secondsIn today's episode we look at the 1994 Virgin New Adventure, Blood Harvest.
Dekker is a private eye, an honest one. But when Al Capone hires him to investigate a new joint called "Doc's", he knows this is one job he can't refuse. And just why are the Doctor and Ace selling illegal booze in a town full of murderous gangsters?
Meanwhile, Bernice has been abandoned on a vampire-infested planet outside normal space. There she meets a mysterious stranger called Romanadvoratrelundar — and discovers an ancient and malevolent power, linking 1929 Chicago with a lair of immortal evil.
The consequences of this story are inextricably linked to events in the Doctor's past.
Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the Blood Harvest chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics.

Don’t Read the Comments #7: James Valentine
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 7 minutes and 57 secondsDon't Read the Comments is an irregular podcast on our feed where we ignore the show’s title and actually read online comments relating to something going on in the world of Doctor Who.
Today, something a little different. With the passing of radio broadcaster James Valentine, who Rob crossed paths with early in his Doctor Who fandom in a rather significant way, and who many Australian Doctor Who fans will know if they were watching the Sylvester McCoy era on first broadcast, he talks unscripted about James' passing... and reads some comments.

Torchwood: Children of Earth
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 24 secondsThis month, we’re finally watching Children of Earth, the bleak Torchwood event series from 2009 that drags the team into a chilling five-day crisis involving an alien demand, government conspiracies, and moral choices that get darker by the hour. It’s a story that trades camp sci-fi adventure for psychological terror, where every decision has a cost and the line between right and wrong has disappeared.
Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the Children of Earth chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 3 secondsJoin Dave from the Doctor Who Show, Rob and Mark from 42 to Doomsday, and Richard from Spacefall: A Blakes 7 Podcast, after knocking back a few gin and tonics at Dave’s place and watching the brand-new special edition of Warriors of the Deep.
Warriors of the Deep is the first story of the 21st season of Doctor Who, which was broadcast in four twice-weekly parts on BBC1 from 5 to 13 January 1984.
In the story, two human power blocs, along with members of the Silurians and Sea Devils (the original rulers of the Earth), battle for control over the nuclear missiles on an undersea military colony on Earth in 2084.

Top Deceased Convention Panellists (The List Makers)

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 21 minutes and 11 secondsThis month, we’re sinking our teeth into State of Decay, the gothic Fourth Doctor adventure from 1980 that drops the TARDIS crew into a crumbling medieval world with vampires, ancient Time Lord history, and a castle that looks like it’s auditioning for a Hammer film.
Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the State of Decay chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics.

Open Mic (Ask Us Anything 2026)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 55 minutes and 28 secondsYear 11 of the podcast begins with an episode shaped almost entirely by you.
We opened things up and invited listeners to ask us anything, and the response was brilliant. Doctor Who, genre TV, movies, music, what we do in real life — it’s all in here, as we work our way through your questions and let the conversation go where it wants to.
There’s a quick run through the news up top, a big listener mailbag on the back end, and plenty of tangents along the way. We love our listeners, and this episode is very much for you.
That’s January wrapped for another year — hope you enjoy it.

Dirty Utopia (Deep Space Nine)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 7 secondsThis episode of Alternate Galaxies heads to Deep Space Nine, the Star Trek series that broke the mould, and maybe still divides fans more than any other.
Dave has lived with DS9 for decades, knows its arcs, its politics, its slow burns and big payoffs. Rob is coming in cold(ish), watching it properly for the first time in the past few months and seeing it all with fresh eyes. Quite a contrast!
The guys dig into what DS9 was trying to do, how it evolved over seven seasons, the shift from episodic comfort food to long-form storytelling not just on DS9 but on 90s TV overall, and whether its darker tone and moral greys actually pay off.
Along the way they talk characters, war, religion, politics, Ferengi episodes, and all the ways this show remains the black sheep of the Star Trek canon.
Join them as they look at one of sci-fi TV’s most ambitious series.

The Long Goodbye (Stranger Things)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 41 minutes and 18 secondsAfter nearly a decade in the Upside Down, Stranger Things is finally complete and on this episode of Alternate Galaxies, we sit down to take in the whole saga, from the very start to the closing moments of the final episode.
With the full story now on the table, we look at how the show evolved, what it was building toward (if it even knew itself), and how it holds together when viewed as one complete narrative rather than 9 years of waiting on a story that lasted 4 years in-universe.
We talk characters, themes, tonal shifts, nostalgia overload, ageing kids, big swings, weird choices, and whether the ending actually earned it.
An affectionate but honest look at one of the defining genre TV shows of the last decade, now that we finally know how it all ends.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 37 secondsWell, here we are dear listener, at the end of 2025 - and the end of our 10th journey around the sun as a podcast.
In more recent years we've done something light and fluffy for the holidays, so tonight we continue that tradition and look at two 'fun' episodes from Nu Who - The Unicorn and the Wasp, and Time Heist.
The Unicorn and the Wasp is the seventh episode of the fourth series, which was aired on BBC One on 17 May 2008.
Time Heist is the fifth episode of the eighth series, which aired on BBC One on 20 September 2014.

Ask Mr Producer!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 41 secondsHi everyone – Dave here!
Many of us know a LOT about how TV was made during the classic era of Who, but I realised I don’t know much AT ALL about how modern Who (and TV generally) is made!
So, I invited friend of the podcast – and an Emmy winning producer – Dylan Rees on the show to discuss these matters! It’s a little more in depth than our usual style, but I hope you’ll find this one-off chat interesting!

Writing Who: David Fisher
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 56 secondsDavid Fisher was a writer who made a distinct mark on Doctor Who during the late 1970s and early 1980s, contributing a run of stories for the Tom Baker era that blended gothic atmosphere, humour, and great characters.
His scripts include The Stones of Blood, The Androids of Tara, The Creature from the Pit, and The Leisure Hive. Four very different adventures that together showcase just how adaptable his writing was within the series.
Fisher also played a role in the origins of one of Doctor Who’s most beloved classics, although personal circumstances prevented him from completing his script. His story, The Gamble With Time formed the backbone of what became City of Death, later finished by Douglas Adams and Graham Williams under the pseudonym “David Agnew.”
Tonight, we look at David Fisher, the stories he delivered across several seasons, and what makes each stand out. We explore his style, strengths, and quirks that define his work and why his episodes remain fondly remembered decades later.
Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect and, after the David Fisher segment, we have listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. A jam-packed episode! Tune in!

Day of the Daleks is the first serial of the ninth season of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 1 to 22 January 1972. It was the first of four Third Doctor serials to feature the Daleks, which returned to the series for the first time since The Evil of the Daleks (1967).
The Doctor and UNIT investigate the attempted assassination of British diplomat Sir Reginald Styles, whose attacker apparently disappeared into thin air.
And yes, there’s a musical number at the end 😉

Doctor in Recess (7" Mix)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes and 45 secondsWith the wait between THE REALITY WAR and the 2026 DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL lasting longer that the 1985 hiatus did (1 year 6 months and 24 days versus 1 year, 5 months, and 24 days), the only logical thing to do was make a pop record. Friend of the show (and sometime co-host) Mike Solko really shouldn't have put this idea in my head. Enjoy - Rob
DOCTOR IN RECESS
(Intro)
Eighteen months is too long to wait,
BBC please, don’t aggravate.(Verse 1)
The TARDIS doors are shuttered,
The filming lights are dim,
We’re left with endless theories,
And one half-regenerated him.They promised worlds of wonder,
And merch from here to Mars,
But when the numbers wobbled,
They crash-landed the TARDIS hard.(Chorus)
Doctor in recess,
Let’s all answer this time stress,
Doctor in recess,
Our fandom’s under real duress!(Verse 2)
There’s Daleks feeling restless,
The Cybermen look bored,
The Weeping Angels whisper,
“You can blink if we’re ignored!”The Master’s doing TikToks,
The Ood are serving tea,
And somewhere in Cardiff,
Time stands still on the BBC.(Bridge)
Bring him back now, we’ll take no less,
The fandom’s losing its consciousness,
The universe is stuck once more,
And waiting till ‘26 is such a chore.(Verse 3)
We’ve learned to love each Doctor,
Each face that comes and goes,
From Eccleston to Gatwa,
And whoever the next one shows.The monsters are all waiting,
The Daleks need their cue,
Without a weekly scream to stream,
What’s a poor fan meant to do?(Final Chorus)
Doctor in recess,
Let’s all answer this time stress,
Doctor in recess,
Our fandom’s under real duress!
Doctor in recess...
The long wait’s causing time distress!

Although Disney will still air the upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea, the BBC has affirmed that Doctor Who will continue “with or without Disney,” and has confirmed a Christmas special penned by Russell T Davies for 25 December 2026.

Frozen Assets (Cold Fusion; a Virgin Missing Adventure)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 30 secondsThere's a LOT to get through this month - from missing episodes on the verge of being found, to Bad Wolf being quite annoyed at a high-profile Doctor Who writer saying what everyone else was thinking... and that's just the news, folks.
After some short topics, we get to the meat of this episode - a deep dive into the Missing Adventure, Cold Fusion, the twenty-ninth novel in that series. It was written by Lance Parkin and was the only multi-Doctor story involving televised Doctors ever told by Virgin Books, pairing the 5th Doctor of Season 19 with the 7th Doctor from near the end of the Virgin New Adventures line.
If you're unfamiliar with the story but want to make sense of our review, we dropped a 10-minute synopsis of the novel on our podcast feed yesterday. Look it up!
To close, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics related to past podcasts and Doctor Who in general.

INTERVIEW: Doctor Who Myths and Legends: The Reeltime Pictures Story
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 43 secondsOver the past five years, friend of the podcast Dylan Rees has worked at compiling the complete story of Reeltime Pictures, from the earliest days of its acclaimed Myth Makers interview tapes, through to the production of ambitious dramas and documentaries.
The resulting book tells the story of Keith Barnfather’s passion and dedication to develop a valuable archive of material - starting in the days of VHS through to DVD, Blu-ray, streaming and downloads - which chronicles the complete production history of classic Doctor Who.
In tonight's episode Dylan sits down with Rob to discuss the book; what inspired it, what it was like to write, and even where a complete newbie to Reeltime could start with the archive.
The book will be launched at the Whooverville 16 Convention on 30 August 2025 in Derby, UK.
