In this episode Leeson...

A new year dawns (Happy New Year to all our listeners!), so it must be time for the DWP to dust off their crystal balls again and make some grandiose and probably totally incorrect predictions for what will be happening in the world of Doctor Who in 2012. We also rather foolishly review the predictions we made in Episode #59 about what was going to happen in 2011.  Hear where we went dramatic...

As the first part of the world enters Xmas 2011 (that would be Kiritimati, fact fans), the DWP releases its Christmas episode for 2011.

Comedian and downright musical genius Ashley Frieze for his downright genius musical...

In April this year a great loss occurred in the Doctor Who community with the death of Elisabeth Sladen, perhaps better known as Sarah Jane Smith, companion to the Third and Fourth Doctors. It was a loss so sudden, so unexpected, and revealed what a private person Elisabeth was. It is only now courtesy of her autobiography we are finding out more about this extraordinary woman. The DWP Team pay tr...

What self respecting podcast doesn’t release an episode on November 23rd ? Certainly not The Doctor Who Podcast! In this episode we have a chat about the rumours surrounding the Doctor Who movie . The Doctor Who convention in March 2012 comes under our piercing DWP gaze. We draw the Simon Guerrier competition which we started in episode # 108 . The Ark has recently been released on DVD, and...

This week was to have been our episode on the delightful Elisabeth Sladen, but unfortunately real life got in the way and James could not join us. We really wanted to do Lis justice and have all three of us in the campervan so we will postpone that episode for a very short while. So, in the meantime, with a lack of anything to say about one of Doctor Who’s favourite companions, Trev and Tom...
