The conversation includes insights into the impact of David Tennant's return, the treatment of characters, and the introduction of new elements like the timeless child storyline.

Special Guests: Ashley Pauls and Ciarán Moffatt.

In this episode of WHO CORNER TO CORNER, we're joined by not one, but two Doctor Who writing luminaries - Peter Anghelides and Simon Guerrier!

The duo join us to talk about their new book The Daily Doctor, an inspirational page-a-day guide to life gleaned from those moments of Doctor Who in which we learned to appreciate the small things as much as the big things, and know exactly when to run.

We also discuss Big Finish, Blake's 7, the Eighth Doctor novels, working with Tom Baker, the importance of spreadsheets and (unafraid to waste the opportunity of a good plug) Simon gives us not only an exclusive look at the forthcoming  60th anniversary coffee table book Whotopia but also some some insight into his soon-to-be-released David Whitaker biopic which investigates the life and work of Doctor Who's very first story editor!

All this and Geoff makes a hash of the authors' surnames (to his eternal shame), literally just seconds after asking them both how they should be pronounced!

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

In this week's podcast Paul & Geoff head over to Norway and cast their eyes over Ed Himes' phenomenal Doctor Who story of abandoned children, monsters in the woods, mirror dimensions and a universe that can take on the form of your loved ones as easily as it takes on the form of a fairy tale amphibian: It Takes You Away.

Are we biased?
Paul definitely is! It Takes You Away is one of his Top 3 Doctor Who Stories of All Time, and if you want to know why then listen up - better yet, grab your copy of the story and sync it to the podcast for the full, immersive commentary experience!

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

In this short, bonus episode (think of it as an end-credit scene to our massive interview with CHRIS CHIBNALL) we fire a whole bunch of questions at the former Doctor Who showrunner to answer the burning issues of fandom.

Is YOUR question in the mix?

Listen in to find out!

Take it away, Chris!

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

Let's get FLUXED! We're back in the library (right next to the bar) of a beachside B&B in blistering hot Dorset for Part 2 of our EPIC chat with former Doctor Who showrunner and creator of the 13th Doctor, CHRIS CHIBNALL!

Juiced up on tea, coffee, Coke Zero and water (for Paul because he's sensible) we dive right into the challenges of creating Doctor Who during a pandemic, and for the first time in a public interview Chris talks in great depth about the creation and production of Series 13: Flux.

Just how close did we come to having no Doctor Who at all during Covid?
The behind the scenes story of Flux is an adventure almost as incredible as what we saw on screen.

But that's not all!
Despite the encroaching heat (and occasional tinkle of glasses and muzak from the bar next door) we also find time to cover plenty more worthy topics of dicsussion and debate, including:

• More MYRKA!
• Chris's favourite Classic Season of Who
• The original plan for Season 13 pre-pandemic
• Steven Moffatt's text to Chris during Flux
• Getting SWARM wrong...
• 'Thasmin' and what the Doctor and Yaz's relationship  journey means to so many fans
• The Dalek episode we didn't get and the one we did get
• What did Dan and Yaz do after the Power of the Doctor...

PLUS: we put Chris in the hot seat (literally) and subject him to a game of The Grand Serpent's Asteroid!

We hope you enjoy listening to our interview as much as we did recording it. Chris was incredibly generous with his time and his insight, and yet, after spending the whole afternoon with him, it felt as though there was still so much more that the fans wanted answers to.

So ... with that in mind...

...to be continued!!

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

On a scorching day at the tail-end of Summer 2023 your intrepid WhoC2C hosts Geoff and Paul climbed into their cars and headed off to the beautiful county of Dorset, to a seaside B&B a mere stone's throw from the locations used in the popular TV crime drama Broadchurch which, as anyone knows, features a cast list as impressive as any Doctor Who spinoff...

However, we weren't interested in the stunning scenery of England's Jurassic Coast! Oh no! We had other things on our minds...

For not only was this session to be the first we'd ever recorded in the same room as each other, but something which we had long been planning and working behind the scenes to make happen was finally about to come together...

We'd booked the B&B's library for the whole afternoon and no sooner had we transformed this tranquil repose into a technology haven littered with strategically-placed mics and recording equipment, than a polite knock at the door announced the arrival of none other than real-life Doctor Who showrunner, CHRIS CHIBNALL!

Anyone who listens to us regularly will know of our mutual love for Jodie's wonderful Doctor and her stories, and now here we were, in the same room as the guy who made it all happen. As you can imagine, having the chance to talk to Chris about some of our favourite Doctor Who of all time was incredibly special and here, in our podcast, we can share with you, our lovely listeners, the entirety of that 3-hour+ interview across two special podcast episodes.

Settle down, because part one is gonna be a helluva ride for all Doctor Who fans as we hear from Chris about:

• The hope and optimism of the Thirteenth Doctor...
• Life after handing back the TARDIS keys...
• Chris's excitement for the future of Doctor Who...
• Which of his episodes had a  planned sequel that didn't happen...
• Keeping secrets and surprises in his Doctor Who...
• Cliffhangers and binge watching...
• What happens when monsters don't quite work...
• Bringing back past Doctors for Power of the Doctor...
• The process of writing and discovery within that...
• Jodie's magnificent Doctor and her "cinematic clowning"...
• The Writer's Room...
• The ITV Showrunner Programme...
• The unlimited creative framework of Doctor Who...
• The production decisions behind him taking on Doctor Who...
• Inclusion and representation in Doctor Who
• Agatha Christie and Broadchurch...

We hope you enjoy listening to Chris as much as we did talking with him so make sure to jump in on our socials (links below) and join the conversation.

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

Threaded through the entire 60+ years of Doctor Who there lurks a handful of stories that drop mountains into what we think of as the placid waters of the show's 'canon' or 'lore'.

Stories such as The Time Meddler, which first introduced us to another fugitive from the Doctor's home planet, or The War Games which transported viewers to its hallowed halls for the very first time, or The Deadly Assassin which gave us a whistle-stop tour of Gallifrey and established much of what has since been taken as the unshakeable truth of the Time Lords' heirarchy, history and way of life.

There are others too: The Three Doctors introduced us to one of the Time Lords' founders whilst The Five Doctors explored the hitherto unheard-of Dark Times of Gallifrey. There's Remembrance of the Daleks too, and Silver Nemesis, both of which suggested there may be more to the Doctor than we thought we knew.

Let's not forget 1976's The Brain of Morbius, which first posited the possibility that there may have been more incarnations of the Doctor which existed prior to what we fans think of as his first.

Fugitive of the Judoon arguably drops the most explosive bombshell into the canon of Doctor Who than any of these, not only confirming that the Doctor has more faces than she can remember, it's a story which showed us one of those faces in action!

And no one outside of the production cast and crew knew it was coming!

Grab your disc, queue the story and join us in real-time as Paul, Geoff and Freya relive the events of what we all thought was going to be a fun romp with Space Rhinos in Glastonbury. The return of Captain Jack? Pah! Fugitive of the Judoon had many more suprises waiting to unfold in its mere 50 minutes of run-time than that...

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

One of the most highly-regarded Doctor Who stories ever returns to print in a new and expanded Target novelisation: Warriors Gate and Beyond, written by its original author, Stephen Gallagher!

Unable to resist the lure of talking to the creator of one of Paul's all-time favourite Doctor Who stories, we ran headlong into the Time Winds and tossed a coin to manifest Stephen so we could pin him down for a feature-length interview and give us the inside scoop on not only the new novelisation but also his original scripts for this seminal 1981 serial!

Set your coordinates to 00000.0000.0 and tune in right now to hear how Stephen got started writing horror and sci-fi, how he felt about the way his scripts were treated by the Doctor Who production team back in the day (and how he feels about them now), and what led to the expanded new Target novelisation "Warriors' Gate and Beyond" due out this July!

PLUS (because we just had to) we also chat to Stephen about his other Doctor Who story TERMINUS and take a sneaky peek at what he's working on with Cutaway Comics!

If you're a fan of Warriors' Gate, you DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

Turns out there were quite a few moments they wanted to share!

So here they are: a whole TARDIS full of us and other fans talking about why they love the greatest show in the galaxy.

So sit back, relax and enjoy finding out why we and other fans love Doctor Who. And then tell us yourself - you'll find us on on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube & Facebook!

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

With the Thirteenth Doctor's end just around the corner (we wish it wasn't), we decided to go and watch her debut episode again - The Woman Who Fell To Earth!

Four years later, how does it hold up?

Is that magic still there that made Geoff and Paul - and his daughter Freya -  fall in love with Jodie Whittaker's Doctor?

Or do they realise they made a terrible mistake and it's all been built on lies and misinformation?!

What do other fans think of this regeneration episode?

Alongside all of the above, we discuss Tim Shaw, the debut of a new costume, Grace, Graham, Ryan and, of course, Yaz Khan!

Oh...and there might be a Clara mention again as well...

Paul and Geoff are joined by Jonny "Passenger" Mathers AND a veritable cornucopia of Thirteenth Doctor fans in this episode to talk about why we love Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor!

And do you know what we called the episode?

We Love The Thirteenth Doctor - that's what!

As we near the end of her era, we wanted to celebrate our love for Jodie's wonderful Doctor with fellow fans and find out why they love her, what made them connect so deeply to her and what it was like when they met her at conventions...

Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

In this episode of Who Corner to Corner we are joined by actor Lauren Cornelius!

Fans of Big Finish will recognise her instantly as the new voice of Dodo Chaplet, the shortlived but energetic young companion from the 1960s who has been lovingly brought back into the spotlight by Lauren for Big Finish's First Doctor Adventures boxset.

Join us as we chat to Lauren about Dodo's accents (yes, that's a plural!), reacting to Yetis in a cupboard, working with David Tennant, Tom Baker and no fewer than THREE incarnations of the frosty First Doctor!

PLUS! We attempt to recreate a Big Finish tradition commonly known as "Other parts played by members of the cast" - AKA "Zombies in PAAAIIIIN..!"

Oh yes, we really do go there!
