The Doctor Who Show

In today’s ep we look at the 1997 BBC PDA, Illegal Alien, which began life as an unproduced television script for Doctor Who, Season 27. Before then, we rip through the month's news, some short topics and then end - as always - with great listener feedback from you! thedwshow.net/2026/10/25/i...

Has been an age since I played on my founder's account on Star Wars The Old Republic. Made an Imperial Sniper character and, just for fun, gave him a very familiar name...

With @thedwshow.net covering Illegal Alien in out October ep, I'm keen to know... what are your views on this era of Cyber-stories?

Vale.

This month’s @thedwshow.net is diving into the BBC Past Doctor Adventure “Illegal Alien!” The Cybermen are back! For the first time the 7th Doctor is a “former” Doctor! Have a listen and see what we made of it!

The poll results are counted, and our next @thedwshow.net Gin & TARDIS ep will be The Romans! But in the meantime, you can enjoy our latest ep on Paradise Towers!

We've released our @thedwshow.net synopsis of Illegal Alien, ahead of our discussion about the book out on Sunday! It even includes me doing by best cyber-impression!

110 votes cast, but there's always room for more!

We're going to finish the @thedwshow.net Gin & TARDIS year with a story we're fond of, that we think doesn't get enough attention! Please vote for which of our nominees you think will make the most interesting conversation! strawpoll.com/1MnwkMkGkn7

Final prep before recording the October edition of @thedwshow.net….

Voting time again, folks! Which Doctor Who story should the next Gin & TARDIS episode tackle? VOTE -> strawpoll.com/1MnwkMkGkn7

It’s happening, @thedwshow.net….

On @thedwshow.net's Gin & TARDIS ep we watch Paradise Towers, & end up asking ourselves how are Paradise Towers & Remembrace of the Daleks only 2 stores apart? & how did the same guy direct Paradise Towers & Curse of Fenric? & what's that say about the McCoy era?! What do you think!?

The latest @thedwshow.net Gin & TARDIS ep is out, and we've watched Paradise Towers! And we had some thoughts to discuss afterwards...! Let us know what you think!

The GIN & TARDIS crew return to look at another Doctor Who adventure. This time it's PARADISE TOWERS in their crosshairs. Join us for Kroagnon’s Cocktail Hour. thedwshow.net/2026/10/18/k...

Today on Too Hot For TV I am joined by the @cutawaycomics.bsky.social team to discuss 'Share and Enjoy' a graphic novel based on the life of Douglas Adams. linktr.ee/Dylan_Rees The project is live on Kickstarter now www.kickstarter.com/projects/roo...

I did the audiobook a week or so back, but now the book’s arrived too.

We’re getting ready to watch Paradise Towers over a few G&Ts, and then chat about it for @thedwshow.net’s next Gin & TARDIS episode! What do you reckon we’ll make of it??

I know it's still a month - or so - away, but our next LIST MAKERS on which Doctor Who stories from the 'Nu Who' era would make good novelisations has my mind fizzing already. What would make your lists?

Delighted with the response to this episode! Who knew so many Doctor Who episodes featured an aspect of religion?

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Malfunction

This month's List Makers from @thedwshow.net is Top 5 Stories featuring Religion! And it ends with a quite surprising "skew"... As always, let us know what you think!

Today on Too Hot For TV I am joined by Luke Molloy to talk about the Torchwood comic 'Rift War' and the audio 'Expectant'. linktr.ee/Dylan_Rees

We finally went there! #DoctorWho stories featuring religion is this month's LIST MAKERS topic! thedwshow.net/2026/10/11/t...

It's painful to think of what artists and albums aren't here. Dozens of them. Ugh. But if I was making an all time, 'I have listened to all of these a million times...' lists, these would be right up there. #my9albums

And... finished. You've probably heard little cherry-picked pieces from it by now, so I'll talk about it in a more holistic way on our October 25 episode.

This has legs. Nice.

Well, the time's arrived... 60 years of my favourites... the Cybermen. And my dream that Tenth Planet 4 had been located in a recent cache of films and would be released in line with the anniversary needs to be consigned to the 'nice dream' drawer. Would have been a cool thing!

Started the audiobook…

This Sunday THE LIST MAKERS sees us making lists of our top Doctor Who stories... featuring religion. Yes, we're going there. See you Sunday :)

Just out of curiosity, where are all those people who were saying 'Doctor Who is dead!' and 'No one will want to touch doing a tender!' Some pretty big hitters lining up already. Do feel free to share the news with those folks if you see one out & about ;) deadline.com/2026/10/doct...
