Oliver was joined by the king of the rural murder mystery, creator of Broadchurch, and former showrunner for Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall. He's written his first novel set in a country English village where dark doings unfold. ‘Death at the White Hart' is available now.
Lisa Finucane reviews Death At The White Hart by Chris Chibnall published by Penguin Random House
After tourists flooded to Dorset after Broadchurch became a huge hit, Chibnall's revisiting the area in Death at the White Hart
Kate de Goldi is back with her latest recommendations: The Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing, Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe, and Death at the White Heart by Chris Chibnall.
Tread Perilously's annual Doctor Who month celebrates 20 years of the new series, starting with the Jodie Whittaker era episode "Eve of the Daleks." New Year's Eve 2021. Sarah, the owner of Elf Storage in Manchester, must keep the lights on because a certain client always turns up just before midnight on 31 December to deposit items in his storage space. He turns up, naturally enough, but so do The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan. And, soon, Daleks arrive, too. When they exterminate everyone in the building, a time loop occurs ... but all quickly becomes aware of it. Can they figure out the secret behind the loop and stop the Dalek? Erik gets into the weeds about the use of the term "reboot" in media. He also makes the case against Dan. Justin comes to his own appraisal about the character. While some gripes about then-showrunner Chris Chibnall get aired, the pair praise him for various choices in this episode. Guest stars Aisling Bea and Adjani Salmon also prove to be MVPs. Guesses are made about cuisine in Middle-earth. Despite a number of tropes, the story ends up feeling fresh. The problem with The Doctor/Yaz relationship is discussed and Dalek voices abound.

A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast
Joe & Michael head to Mexico and discuss Frida Kahlo, short stories, the Chris Chibnall era, AI, and celebrity historicals!
This month, Kyle and Erik have good news and bad news. The bad news is we have to talk about "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" and "The Power of Three." The good news is we won't have to talk about a Chris Chibnall script for like five more years. Anyway, these two episodes certainly aren't the worst things ever, and in many ways they set the stage for what Chibnall would do during his time as showrunner, for good or ill. One thing we can say for these stories is that they're imperfect, to put it mildly.

We dry-clean our tuxes and prepare for the all-time high of Spyfall (parts 1 and 2), the opening episode of the Thirteenth Doctor's second season. Along the way, we consider the connective tissue between James Bond and Doctor Who, weigh up the Master's views on outsourcing, and begin the yeoman's work of fully unpacking Chris Chibnall's contribution to the show.

Tread Perilously begins a cornucopia of sci-fi with the most infamous episode of Torchwood: "Cyberwoman." When Ianto Jones invites a specialist in Cyber tech to Torchwood 3, all hell breaks loose. It turns out he's been keeping his partially Cyber-ized girlfriend on life support since the Battle of Canary Wharf. He's using a Cyber-conversion machine to do it. And none of the others know about it. Of course, Cybermen are going to Cyberman, but will a "Cyberwoman" also seek to make all organic life like her? Also: what will Captain Jack Harkness do when he learns Ianto has been keeping a woman prisoner in their basement? Justin faces his first -- and possibly last -- episode of Torchwood. He learns almost immediately why Erik has been putting this one off for so long. Episode writer Chris Chibnall is, once again, in the hot seat. Erik is accused of being a David Tennant fan. The weeds lead to some darker places, but also to discussion of The Tick, the Noldor, and more. Justin tries to make sense of Torchwood as a concept. He also notes Erik's "angry" British accent. A surprise Burn Gorman appears! White Water Summer is used to prove a point. The viscosity of Ianto becomes important and Justin suggests Torchwood isn't sexy enough.

Hello! We have the privilege and honour this week to share with you exclusive audio from behind the scenes at the recent live episode recording of Chris Shaw's final 'I Am The EggPod' podcast, featuring interviews by Rob Manuel with EggPod fans and alumni, including: Mark Lewisohn, Samira Ahmed, Joel Morris, Nadia Shireen, Jason Hazeley, Julia Raeside, Matt Everitt, Kevin Eldon, Jill Connolly, Mark Newlove, Eleanor Gray, Adam S Leslie, Chris Chibnall, James Marshall... and more! If you don't know, 'EggPod' was a massive influence on us starting our show. Chris brings such warmth and passion when talking about The Beatles, and meeting him last year and finding out that he listens to (and likes!) our little show has been a highlight of my podcasting journey so far. So, thanks Chris for the EggPod and for asking us if we would like to share this with our fans, and I expect, many people who will never have heard of us before! We hope you enjoy and please consider having a listen to some of our regular episodes from our first 4 series.
Now that we're a full season into Russell T Davies' new era of Doctor Who, a debate has started among the fandom: is the era what we'd hoped for, and are we now starting to miss the Chris Chibnall era of Doctor Who? Troy and Crispy are here to offer their thoughts - and listen to yours!
The Doctor divides his attention between saving the world and helping Ruby learn about her past (thank you, VHS tapes), while Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy divide their attention between discussing Sutekh, thoughts on the Time Window, and the positive changes being made at U.N.I.T. As mentioned in the episode: - Joy Piedmont talks to Chris Chibnall on Reality Bomb 106A. - It's never Susan (except for in Warren's music video) We realize there's still another part to be aired, so anything can change, but what were your thoughts on "The Legend of Ruby Sunday?" Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, or let us know in the comments! ^K P.S. Can you solve this anagram? "I invest lottery"

A clock that ticks down in real time. A fiendishly difficult pub quiz. And a creature that lives in a sun.

On this week's vital BFG podcast, host Neal Pollack welcomes Stephen Garrett to be two white guys talking about a black-directed movie making fun of liberal white people reacting to a black-written book. We're talking, of course, about 'American Fiction,' and while Stephen loved the warm, neurotic upper-middle-class black family saga that the literary satire was hiding, Neal wanted more satire and less family saga, because the trailer promised satire. Neal also wonders if the satire is a little dated, and they didn't even really talk about the ambiguous ending of the movie, which may or may not have worked brilliantly. Anyway, 'American Fiction' is definitely an NPR discussion piece, this is Fresh Air, I'm Terry Gross.Kristin Clifford shows up to discuss the somewhat less discussable 'Mean Girls' musical adaptation, which both she and Neal agree is fine but kind of a weak cash grab. It can't compare to the original 'Mean Girls' in terms of star power, and the songs, which are OK, take time away from some of the original movie's best jokes, and even end up kicking certain characters to the curb. It's kind of like a pretty good community theater production of 'Mean Girls,' fine if you like that sort of thing. We didn't, really.Neal is a mega-nerd, and so is Paula Shaffer, so their discussion of the 60th anniversary special episodes of 'Doctor Who' reach nerdy podcast heights. They both feel relief to have Russell T. Davies back in the showrunner chair instead of Chris Chibnall, are thrilled to see the brief return of David Tennant, and both have high hopes for the charming Ncuti Gatwa in the TARDIS for a few seasons. It's not the nerd-hip thrill of 1976 or 2007, the peaks of Doctor Who in popular culture, but the show has successfully regenerated for Gen Z, and we're here for it.And we're definitely here for you. Enjoy the show!
Did you know that Jodie Whittaker SAVED Doctor Who with her ratings? Because she didn't. Did you know that the BBC is denying any "woke" bias in its drama programming, including Doctor Who? Stop giggling. How about Doctor Who being a massive hit in streaming... the ENTIRE series, that is. Not just the Christmas special. Yeah, the Doctor Who damage control has begun. Additional Context: Jodie Whittaker's casting as the first female Doctor in the long-running BBC series "Doctor Who" was a historic and controversial move. Her arrival marked a significant change in the series, not only because of the gender switch for the iconic character but also due to the shift in the show's storytelling approach under the new showrunner, Chris Chibnall. The tenure of Whittaker as the Doctor has been a subject of debate among fans and critics. While some praised the series for its progressive casting and attempts to freshen up the narrative, others criticized it for various reasons, including perceived declines in writing quality and audience ratings. There were also discussions about the show taking a more "woke" approach under Chibnall and Whittaker, focusing more on contemporary social and political themes, which some viewers felt was a departure from its traditional storytelling style. The tenure of Chris Chibnall as the showrunner for "Doctor Who," particularly during the era of the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, saw a decline in viewership ratings. Initially, Whittaker's debut as the Doctor in "The Woman Who Fell to Earth" garnered high ratings, with about 11 million viewers, reflecting significant interest in the first female Doctor. However, as the series progressed, there was a notable drop in viewership. For instance, the Series 12 finale "The Timeless Children" achieved 4.7 million viewers, and "Legend of the Sea Devils" almost became the lowest-rated episode in the show's history with 3.5 million viewers. Several factors contributed to this decline. Chris Chibnall's writing and direction of the show received mixed responses from audiences and critics. Some episodes under his tenure were perceived as weak and confusing, lacking the coherence and character development expected by fans. As for streaming success, "Doctor Who" has been a popular series on various streaming platforms, with its extensive history and fanbase contributing to its continued relevance. The entire series, encompassing multiple Doctors and eras, has been a draw for audiences, not just specific episodes or specials.

"SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" After the controversial reception to Chris Chibnall's Thirteenth Doctor era of the show, Russell T Davies returned to helm the next one, beginning with the 60th Anniversary specials as a buffer before going into full swing with a brand new Doctor. This heralded the return of David Tennant, not as the Tenth, but as the Fourteenth Doctor, alongside fan-favorite Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, with Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa set to take over immediately after. What seemed to be a sure-fire slam dunk has now left fans splintered and confused, and it's time to figure out how and why. So, come watch with Alec and Brian as they dive into the ambitious 60th Anniversary Specials of Doctor Who!
Tread Perilously's Doctor Who celebration continues with the second 60th anniversary special, "Wild Blue Yonder." After Donna accidentally pours coffee into the TARDIS console -- and a quick stop to alter Isaac Newton's famous day under the apple tree -- she and The Doctor materialize on an enormous but empty ship. Soon, the TARDIS senses a threat and vanishes, leaving the two travels to discover the mystery of the vessel stranded on the very edge of the universe. Will they face dark truths and even deadlier threats? Will The Flux continue to matter? And will they ever see Wilf? Erik pushes against the production's assertion that this is "unlike anything seen on Doctor Who before." He also cites "Midnight" and "42" in the discussion. Justin stumbles on a piece of established lore. Chris Chibnall comes up in a certain light. A digression into fantasy films leads to an appreciation of Sandahl Bergman. The pair also discuss the mavity of the situation and try to determine why "Wild Blue Yonder" was chosen to be featured in the episode. Cenobites end up crewing the Event Horizon mess hall. Fremen cuisine is theorized. Erik explains elements of The Flux and the Timeless Child. Justin presents two readings of The Exorcist and the ending of Loki's second season is finally explored.
Gather ‘round childrens whilst the adults discuss series 13 of our beloved Doctor Who. Plus this being show-runner Chris Chibnall's and Doctor portrayer Jodie Whittaker's final (for now...) series, we also discuss what they contributed to the Whoniverse. All that and friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us to weigh in on which classic sitcom characters could be Time Lords (we're looking at you Mister Ed...Doctor Ed...?), Steve queries John on whether a title is from Buffy or Big Finish (spoilers... he's usually wrong), and John asks Steve about many things that may or may not end up in this podcast episode. Unlike this description, topics that don't land may get cut for time.
Doctor Who is back! Both in the sense that we got our first new episode in over a year this weekend, and, more importantly, in the sense that we got our first new good episode since 2017! This week marked the 60th anniversary of our favorite TV show here at The Weekly Stuff Podcast, and brought with it the first in a series of specials reuniting David Tennant and Catherine Tate, writer/showrunner Russell T Davies, composer Murray Gold, and more, and the resulting episode, “The Star Beast,” is indeed a cracking good time, and a tremendous return-to-form after the Dark Ages ushered in by Chris Chibnall since 2018. Sean talks about finally catching up with the end of the Chibnall/Jodie Whittaker run at the top of today's show, then we talk about some our favorite stories we've been revisiting for the 60th anniversary, and finally we've got a spoiler-filled review of “The Star Beast.”Enjoy!

A deep dive into Ryan Sinclair and disability representation. What is dyspraxia? How was Ryan's dyspraxia depicted in Doctor Who? How should representation be approached? How does Ryan's characterisation resonate with people with dyspraxia? How do infantalisation, cyclicality, relationships with time, and narrative stasis play into all this? All these sorts of questions are explored in a thorough journey through Ryan's time across Chris Chibnall's era of Doctor Who, examining every clip relevant to Ryan's dyspraxia, along with script excerpts, relevant articles, and more. This is a cumulative analysis of Ryan's time on the show from authentic perspectives from fans with dyspraxia, starting with a wide-ranging discussion on dyspraxia and representation, then moving into an examination of relevant episodes and scripts.

On a special episode of Reality Bomb, we're continuing our tenth anniversary celebrations with a journey through Doctor Who and its fandom over the past decade with our editorials. We've trawled through our archives we're presenting ten editorials from past ten years of Reality Bomb that talk about what enrages, enthralls, excites and enlivens us as Doctor Who fans. This special collection includes: Graeme's discussion of the Doctor being "never cruel or cowardly" and how that played out in the then-recent retcon in Day of the Doctor from December 2013. (Episode 006) Graeme conducts an interview with Chris Chibnall (in absentia) about all the things that have bothered him about Doctor Who's non-existent promotion of the series with its fans back in 2019. (Episode 085) Joy looks back on how Last Christmas was there for her during a particularly difficult holiday season. (Episode 075) Sage Young talks about how one of the first things she did during the pandemic was renew her Britbox subscription, and how doing the pilgrimage through Classic Doctor Who helped her through that period. (Episode 087) From September 2021: RTD returns, and Graeme has many, many, many, many feelings about it. (Episode 092) The first story of Joel and Carlie in a special, rarely heard, "studio" version recorded in November 2013 (originally presented in Epsiode 006a) Priya Deonarain takes us through the then-recent Flux and talks about the themes, ideas and big swings this story took. (Episode 095) From our shelter-in-place live zoom shows from 2020, Joy talks about the Doctor Who Blackout event, how it came out of a planned live-tweeting that failed to connect to recent events... and what all of us can do to be a better ally to BIPOC fans. (Episode 081) Introduced by Rebecca Farren Back in 2018, Doctor Who Magazine went to a North American convention to a #metoo panel... and had a British middle aged guy interview another British middle aged guy about it. Graeme talks about what's wrong with this picture, how DWM is so insular editorially, and how that reflects fandom as a whole. (Episode 056) From our first Gallifrey One live show in 2017, Graeme looks back on the past Gallys he's attended, and why he loves conventions so much. (Episode 043) A quick note... you may have heard that some fan creators are no longer covering Doctor Who due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, because Doctor Who is on the SAG-AFTRA list of struck work. We fully support the strike and the writers and actors fighting for fair contracts; however, fan podcasts like ours can continue to discuss Doctor Who because we're not bound by either union's rules that prevent members from promoting struck work. As fans, there are many ways you can support the strike and the workers. To that end, we'd like to offer a few resources: Donation page for the Entertainment Community Fund SAG-AFTRA's Strike info page WGA's strike info page
