Thrill to our educated guesses as to where we go from here in a fractured media landscape! Puzzle over the tender process!

Download MP3 It’s (not) the end, but the moment has been prepared for! Well, not as such but a press release from the BBC confirms what we long suspected: there will not be a Christmas special nor were plans for one ever seriously pursued.

The Three Who Rule dig deep and are quite skeptical of all this torpor (other than RTD’s almost certainly correct claim) as well the usual Big Finish and Dalek 63-88 updates and Part the Second of our Classic Series Commentary for Spearhead from Space!
