DWAZ #54 – "DOT AND BUBBLE”

We've got a doozy for you this week! We’re taking a look at the most recent episode of Doctor Who, the very non-traditional “Dot and Bubble,” written by Russell T Davies and directed by Dylan Holmes Williams. At first, a rich young woman who lives her life in the social media sphere is suddenly awakened to the fact that her friends are being eaten by monsters! But there’s a lot more going on under the surface, and we tackle it from every angle we can think of.

We would walk 500 miles – or at least 73 yards – to bring you our review of the latest episode of Doctor Who, “73 Yards” written by Russell T. Davies and directed by Dylan Holmes Williams. This has been a very divisive episode amongst fandom. You may be surprised to find out what we thought of this one!

This week we celebrate the return of STEVEN MOFFAT to Doctor Who with his newest episode, “Boom”, starring Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. The Doctor and Ruby land on the planet Kastarion 3 in the middle of an active war zone. Attempting to help someone in need, the Doctor steps on a landmine, and he is forced to come up with a solution to disarm it without moving. Let’s just say that this one divided our opinions in surprising ways (just wait til we give our final scores!) but leads to a fun discussion!

It’s a brand new season of Doctor Who and we’ve got the first two episodes to review! Ashley, Josh and Alan dive into this new era of our favorite venerable show and review Episodes 1 and 2, “Space Babies” and “The Devil’s Chord,” both written by Russell T Davies. We talk about the high points, the low points, which episode was better, and what we look for in future episodes.

[*Because of the timing of recording and release, this episode of Doctor Who A to Z is presented in an unedited form. Please forgive any foible or instances of us talking over each other.]

This week Ashley takes us to the planet Peladon where we meet a king battling against superstition, trying to impress a collection of weird aliens, and flirting with Jo Grant. We review “The Curse of Peladon", the second story from Season Nine, starring Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning, and featuring David Troughton.

This one is a biggie! We take a stab at “Kill the Moon”, one of the most divisive episodes of the past decade. General consensus amongst fans is that it’s not a good episode. But how accurate is that? This one divides the Doctor Who A to Z crew too—but maybe not in the way that you might think. We come at this one from all angles before delivering our verdict!

But first we tackle the news from the past couple weeks, including a brand new trailer and news of a returning writer!

We'd love to hear from you! Let us know what you think of "Kill the Moon"! If you've enjoyed this show, please leave a comment, review, or rating wherever you're listening! If there's a particular story you'd like to hear us discuss, please let us know at doctorwhoatoz@gmail.com!

This week Ashley and Josh steer the TARDIS through a tour of the history of Doctor Who RPGs, starting with the FASA game from the 80s and all the way up to the innovations they’ve found in a recently released game by Cubicle 7. If you’re a gamer, specifically a Doctor Who gamer, this episode is for you! (and hopefully everyone else will still enjoy it too, since it’s still about Doctor Who!)

First, though, we talk about the latest Doctor Who news.

Our topic this week is characters that could have been companions! Doctor Who is full of great characters, and many of them had potential to be a great companion – and in some cases were intended to be, but for one reason or another it didn't work out. Josh and Alan (with input from Ashley, who is out this week) talk about some of their favorite companions-that-never-were.  

First, though, we talk about the latest Doctor Who news (the Celestial Toymaker cover reveal, the Dark Gallifrey series from Big Finish, and a new Big Finish podcast).
