A lengthy discussion taking in all the latest Doctor Who news, from the Disney+ deal to the DWM comic strip

Misunderstood, or simply a mistake? The second segment of the Trial of a Time Lord has long been one of Doctor Who's lesser regarded stories - but what will the Strangers team make of it?

JR and Ross discuss Francis Coppola's trilogy of mafia epics, and ask if our received wisdom is correct about the order in which we value them
