DWAZ #92– LOGOPOLIS

"It's a new episode . . . but the moment has been prepared for." This week Ashley, Josh and Alan visit the Pharos Project to discuss the final Fourth Doctor story, "Logopolis" written by the recently departed Christopher H. Bidmead, directed by Peter Grimwade, and starring Tom Baker, Matthew Waterhouse, Sarah Sutton, Janet Fielding, and Anthony Ainley. And let me tell ya . . . this one definitely divided opinion.

But first we talk about the state of the franchise after the inexplicable Billie Piper cliffhanger and where the show might go from there, plus some possible missing episodes news!

DWAZ #89 – LIVE AT STELLAR FEST (Part 2)

This week we feature the second of our LIVE panels at STELLAR FEST recorded in April of 2025! This is Part 2 of a discussion in which we take the lowest-rated stories from every Doctor and review each one -- and hopefully find something good to say about them! In this installment we talk about stories from Doctors 3, 5, 6, 7. 10, 11, and 12! That's an awful lot to cover in 45 minutes but somehow we make it work!

Interesting perspective from Mr. Gatiss. Does he have a point?

"People can't see that people have always thought that, even when it used to be better.”

The team is "really committed to Doctor Who and are continuing to look at ways in which we can bring the show to fans".Yeah, that tells us nothing.

The boss has addressed the studio's partnership with Disney and what the future holds.

This week Ashley, Josh and Alan revisit the second and final season featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and reflect on the season overall. What were some of the great, good and less-good moments? How do we rate each episode differently than we did upon first viewing in light of the season as a whole? How does this season reflect the era overall (as short as it is)?

First, though, we dig into the news, and talk about the trailer for The War Between the Land and the Sea, an upcoming Big Finish release featuring Sarah Jane and Harry, a new book project from Sophie Aldred, and a revival of the Eighth Doctor Adventures from the original Wilderness Years!Listen Links:

This week Ashley, Josh and Alan wrap up Season 2 with a review of the season finale, “The Reality War”! But this episode ended up so much bigger than we ever expected (well, we did sort of know what was coming), so there was a LOT to talk about. This episode is a recording of a LIVE show that we did on Facebook and YouTube, where we addressed comments and questions from viewers. Thank you to everyone who watched and chatted with us!
