Strangers in Space

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

Who do you cast to follow the first Doctor ever to take Doctor Who to number one in the national TV charts? The seasoned pro, or the little known youngster who turns up and wows you during the audition process? Matt leads the conversation through a discussion of the eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith

JR and Mark watch Olivia Wilde's second feature Don't Worry Darling, in an attempt to separate the art from the controversy

A conversation about FW Murnau's 1922 silent classic Nosferatu and its fictional making of, 2000's Shadow of the Vampire

A round-up of the less celebrated adaptations of Philip K Dick's writing, including reviews of A Scanner Darkly, Next, The Adjustment Bureau and more

We had so many contributors to our review of the final thirteenth Doctor story, we had to split into two groups to record it. So here's our 2-for-1 episode on The Power of the Doctor; first JR, Matt, Simon and Lee (yes, Lee!), and then Iain, Jon and - uh - Matt again take over for the second half of the podcast

Boris drops out of the race and Rishi becomes the only runner of note, and so now we have a new Prime Minister, a real Man of the People. Ahem. It's another edition of Private Members Club

We each pick our Top 5 Queen songs

Our thoughts on the race to be the United Kingdom's latest Prime Minister 

JR and Matt chat about The Midnight Club, Netflix' latest addition to its "Flanaverse Collection"

We're back again (two of us, at least), because it's been yet another hectic day in Downing Street; the Prime Minister has resigned. The second one this autumn. This is starting to look like carelessness...

Another day in parliament, another rash of manoeuvres in the ministerial merry-go-round that might be better known as Drowning Street

Simon leads the conversation through a discussion of the latest from Marvel and Disney+, the rather divisive She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Another tumultuous week in Downing Street seems to have opened the door for yet another change in leadership in the UK, potentially the third this parliament. So of course we took to our microphones to wag lyrical our feelings on these latest developments.

This time it's Matt's turn to choose his ten favourite songs before the team discuss his choices

Matt and Mark review Peter Strickland's latest, Flux Gourmet, a film about sonic catering and the power struggle between artist and sponsor

I'm fairly sure "Moffat" must mean "mixed-reaction" in a Scottish-English dictionary, because everything the man writes turns to equal parts furrowed brows and religious fervour - but what were we to make of his latest screen endeavour, a tall tale of potential murder in a suburban vicar's cellar?

JR and Matt discuss the bizarre and alarming latest fortnight in UK politics

David A Stewart of the Eurythmics directs three of the All Saints in a post-Lock Stock gangster movie set in the swinging 'sixties ... what could possibly go wrong?

With the fourth series now out in the wild, it was high time we took a look at the BBC sitcom Ghosts

JR tells the story of how he fell in love with his favourite band ... three times

Elizabeth Taylor might have dubbed him the King of Pop, but what do we think of Michael Jackson? Following the format of our ABBA episode, we each choose our five favourite (or least favourite) Jacko records

Looking ahead to the thirteenth Doctor's final story, and some thoughts on the journey so far
