It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for. If the recent "regeneration" trailer told us anything, it's that The Power of the Doctor would be jam-packed with subtle references to the show's great history. Conceived and scheduled to coincide with the BBC's centenary, the 90 minote special also marked the end of Jodie Whittaker's time as the Doctor, and Chris Chibnall's turn as showrunner.

In one of those episodes where we talk over Doctor Who, James McLean and Christian Cawley revisit 1975's The Android Invasion. Starring Tom Baker and Lis Sladen as the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, the serial is a rare 1970s adventure from the hand of Terry Nation - rare, as it doesn't rely on Daleks, Thals, or radiation. Discussing everything from sex dolls to ginger beer (and the figurative recasting of certain characters), this is a podcast that encourages you to watch along with us. So, if you have a copy of The Android Invasion handy, cue it up, hit play above, and listen to our instructions. As ever, we'd love to hear what you think.

The crazy Doctor Who casting keeps coming, so this week's podcast has a chat about Neil Patrick Harris before turning attention to Blu-ray boxset promos. Do Mel's Dragon's Den antics count as "real" Doctor Who? Is the Fourth Doctor's chat with a disembodied head between seasons part of your canon? Or, is it fine to dismiss these as little more than promotional fluff? Christian Cawley and James McLean also chat about the current trend for old stars of movies and TV to return to roles long since left behind. Not just David Tennant in Doctor Who, but Ewan MacGregor in Star Wars, Michael Keaton as Batman, and even Kit Harrington reprising Jon Snow.

Prometheus, House of the Dragon, the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and many more all have one thing in common: they're all prequels. While it remains to be seen how House of the Dragon will turn out, looking around there aren't many people crying out for a Game of Thrones prequel. But even if they were, would it be any good? Are prequels really necessary, or are they a waste of time? Does the success rate of prequel shows, movies, and even books suggest they're best avoided? After all, the most interesting times for the characters you love are in the shows you remember. That's what makes the story - doesn't it? Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss.

As we saw in Survivors of the Flux, the idea of a multiverse has been reawakened in Doctor Who, 52 years after Inferno first introduced the concept to the show. In the post-Spider-Man: No Way Home/Loki/Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cultural landscape, the concept of multiverses has become mainstream. No longer the conceit of forgotten comic strips or ancient TV episodes, the multiverse could in fact be opening up right in front of us in Doctor Who. Recorded before the casting of Ncuti Gatwa and the return of David Tennant to Doctor Who, this week's Kasterborous podcast explores the possibilities offered by a Doctor Who multiverse. Christian Cawley and James McLean are your hosts.

Yesterday you probably hadn't heard of Ncuti Gatwa. Today, he's the new Doctor Who. The actor is probably best known for his role in the Netflix show Sex Education, but all that is about to change with his casting as the Fourteenth Doctor. In this podcast, Christian Cawley and James McLean recap the casting, and feature some reaction from Doctor Who fans on Facebook.

With one more episode of Jodie Whitakker's Doctor Who run to go, we review Legend of the Sea Devils, an episode that promises but doesn't quite deliver. Christian Cawley and James McLean explore the episode's high and low points, and discuss the impact of the "Next Time" trailer. They also consider where Doctor Who might go post Chibnall. Will RTD go "full MCU" on the show, and detach it from everything that has happened so far - starting from scratch in a new universe, perhaps - or will it be a more tradition, soft reboot.

Doctor Who is back this Easter weekend with Legend of the Sea Devils, the penultimte adventure of the 13th Doctor. We check out the trailer, make some observations about what is known (or rumoured) and look forward to the episode. Meanwhile, the reaction to our last podcast (How Much Does it Cost to Meet Doctor Who Actors?) has been excellent. Christian Cawley and James McLean explore some of the comments and discuss the topic further.

Stunned by the price fans pay for a photo, autograph, and meet Doctor Who actors, this podcast looks at encounters the podcast team has had with people from the show. We cover everything here, from youthful encounters with larger-than-life actors to interviewing renowned television directors. We also have some "fantasy guest" chat, in which we try to choose which people we'd like to meet or interview the most. This is quite an introspective chat in places, too, as Christian Cawley and James McLean recall the people they've interviewed over the years (not just for Kasterborous, but beyond) and how some chats and encounters might have gone better.

This week's show is a bit shorter than usual, to let you find out what we think about the Hugh Grant Doctor Who rumour, and have some fun with some possible spin-off ideas. In case you had forgotten, Hugh Grant was approached to lead Doctor Who way back before Christopher Eccleston was cast. He had also appeared in Steven Moffat's Comic Relief special The Curse of Fatal Death as the final male incarnation of the Doctor. To discuss Hugh Grant's Doctor Who potential, Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley and James McLean, with a few ideas of his own. There is also some Mandalorian and Book of Fett talk, for the sensitive among you.
