About Time | A Doctor Who Podcast

Crack open the champagne, pull your party poppers and give three cheers: Doctor Who turns 60 years old today. We're celebrating the 60th anniversary of the programme, and also (less impressively) our podcast's 1st anniversary, by kicking back with some fun and games, as well as watching two short sketches - Time Crash and The Curse of Fatal Death.

You're in for a treat this week with not just one, but two episodes of the podcast! Today, Stephen is joined by Mike from Who Gives a Flux, to discuss the 2023 Children in Need minisode, Destination: Skaro, as well as our expectations for the 60th specials. Mike became a Doctor Who fan with the show’s return in 2005. Ever since, it’s been a constant in his life, culminating in the birth of Who Giv...

Today we're simultaneously visiting the 50th anniversary and going right back to 1963 with Mark Gatiss's wonderful "An Adventure in Space and Time". Links to socials, listening platforms and Discord server: https://linktr.ee/abouttimecast About Time: www.linktree.com/AboutTimeCast

Bringing another guest appearance on another podcast to the feed - this time with the brilliant Mason, who does a lot of incredible work spreading awareness about chronic illness and autism, and is also a huge Doctor Who fan! It was lovely to chat to Mason about the 60th Anniversary and the new incoming era of the show. You can find Mason on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@autisticadvocatef...

Watch out for that spinning black pyramid - no, trapezium - whatever it is! It's about time we watched 1983's "The Five Doctors"! Links to socials, listening platforms and Discord server: https://linktr.ee/abouttimecast About Time: www.linktree.com/AboutTimeCast

This week Stephen was delighted to be asked to join the wonderful Joe and Aakash on their podcast, "We've Got Nothing Left", to talk about the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special, "Day of the Doctor", ten years on. Joe and Aakash's podcast is great fun and can be found on Spotify - and you can find them on Instagram at @wevegotnothingleftpod! About Time: www.linktree.com/AboutTimeCast
