The Doctor Who Podcast

Boy, these boys can talk, can’t they? When is a news episode now a news episode? When its a DWP news episode! Tom and James look over the news from the world of Doctor Who, but find plenty of time for some divergence into other topics as well.

Just how wrong will they be in 2012? We warm up our crystal balls and get our tarot cards ready – it’s the DWP predictions for 2011!
