Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 432.

After a few quiet months, Garry is back with a solo news catch-up, starting with The Satan Pit Extended Cut heading to cinemas on Doctor Who Day and a trip into our Compendium to revisit when we first covered the story back in 2018.

The BBC’s competitive tender has drawn bids from Hat Trick Mercurio, World Productions, two BBC Studios labels and STV Studios, whose pitch could take production to Scotland for the first time. We also pick through what Russell T Davies reveals about the Disney years in his memoir, The Queerest of Folk.

Elsewhere, Torchwood turns 20, so we look back on reviewing every series, and the first look at Doctor Who: TARDIS Crew on CBeebies has drawn a rare reaction from fandom in the form of a collective shrug. Could a talking toaster be the gateway for the next generation of fans?

Hey, Who fans, and welcome to The Big Blue Box Roundtable.

We're back, Who fans, and welcome to the September 2026 Roundtable.

This month, Garry is joined by Harry, Jordan and Maria. After kicking straight off with our usual catch-ups, Harry and Maria give us the lowdown on their recent trip to Whooverville 17 in Derby.

Then we cover the recent news that the BBC is sending out invitations to tender for Doctor Who. Interesting times ahead.

Hey, Who fans, and welcome to The Big Blue Box Roundtable.

After a couple of months away, the July roundtable brings Garry, Matt, Maria, and Harry back together to pick up everything that's happened since we last recorded. And there's been a lot.

We kick off with a proper recap of the DWAS Capital event down at the Crowne Plaza, covering everything from Paul McGann practically joining us for breakfast to Matt's unexpected few minutes talking bacon and sausages with Dan Starkey, Tommy Knight and Gary Russell's "Return to Bannerman Road" panel, the Saturday night auction, and why Tony Jordan deserves a massive thank you for what he's built over the years.

Then we get to the news that dropped while we were away. The Christmas special is gone, Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf are out, and the show is going to tender. We each share where we landed on all of it, and the feelings are not exactly simple. There's disappointment about the way it was handled, frustration about being lied to about a script that apparently never existed, a strong reaction or two to RTD's Instagram post, and the broader question of what happens to Doctor Who now and who might bring it back.

We also end up in a full debate about whether filming in Wales has run its course, and the conversation goes somewhere nobody expected.
