Strangers in Space

As suggested by listener Andy Van Kay, here's a short bonus quiz in which we try and sort our Acrids from our Agents

Our reaction to the news that showrunner Chris Chibnall and current Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker will be leaving the series in 2022

This time on Film Club we're looking at English villages playing host to Nazi invaders in the middle of a World War, in Went the Day Well? (1942), The Eagle Has Landed (1976), Eye of the Needle (1981) and The Spy in Black (1939)

The latest short Film Club Lite review is of Kaneto Shindo's precursor to J-horror, a medieval tale of spirits and civil war from 1964; warning: moderate spoilers (Onibaba can be watched for free on YouTube)

A short bonus episode looking back on Season One of the latest Marvel Universe endeavour on Disney+, Loki

It's back to school on Film Club this time, as we take the train straight from platform 9-and-whatever all the way to Hogwarts and the first four Harry Potter films. But did we enjoy them...?

It's been two years since the MCU was last in cinemas, but now it's back - and back five years ago, as it happens. But what did we think of Natasha Romanoff's long overdue solo outing?

The first instalment in our new strand features Season 20's Snakedance, Christopher Bailey's 1983 sequel to Kinda

Because Tim Burton directed the first remake of Planet of the Apes, it wouldn't have been right for us to move directly from the original franchise to the new without making this stop-off in between - taking in Mars Attacks! and Ed Wood for good measure. But oh boy, this was not the layover we would have wanted...

Simon's first Film Club Lite choice is a spoiler-light review of Anthony Harvey's 1971 adaptation of James Goldman's play, with George C. Scott as a man who believes he's tilting at Moriarty

A short bonus - and spoiler-free - review of Freaky, the new body-swap horror from Christopher Landon, director of the Happy Death Day movies

The spotlight of our microphones this time around is Peter Davison's third term as Doctor Who, but our biggest question is of course what will win our listeners' poll - and which story will come last?

With his new Netflix zombie apocalypse, Zack Snyder goes back to his roots - only bigger, longer and uncut. So what did we make of Army of the Dead? Did we agree with the rest of the internet that it's an egregious waste of everybody's time - or did we make our own minds up?

TV Club turns its attention to three recent superhero series from beyond the usual Marvel / DC stable, primarily a couple adapted from Image Comics including the recent Netflix release Jupiter's Legacy
