The Reality of Current Doctor Who - Season 2: The Reality War
Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 427.After a couple of weeks' break, we're back and ready to throw ourselves into the finale of Doctor Who Season 2: "The Reality War".The crux of the episode revolved around saving Poppy while dealing with the Unholy Trinity on a mission to resurrect Omega. On paper, this sounds amazing, but does the finale stick the landing and provide a satisfying conclusion to Ncuti's era? Does Susan return? Who's "The Boss"? Are we even pronouncing Omega correctly?There are lots of questions to be answered, so grab a cup of tea, coffee or something stronger and join us for our thoughts on The Reality War.This is The Big Blue Box PodcastJoin us each week for a new episode every Friday from your hosts Garry and Adam.

RTD Bringing Back All the Things - Season 2: Wish World
Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 426.As we gear up for the big showdown in season two—or is it fifteen, who’s counting?—we're chatting about this wishy-washy world where reality's a bit fuzzy. Things are getting spicy with the Rani and that mysterious baby, and we’re left wondering if this whole setup is leading to an epic reset or just a clever ruse.Last week saw us have quite opposing opinions, so are we more aligned with Wish World, or has this closing act of Doctor Who Season 2 put a fork in the road? Tune in for our usual waffle and review of this penultimate episode.This is The Big Blue Box PodcastJoin us each week for a new episode every Friday from your hosts Garry and Adam.

Cameos, Confetti and a Cold Heart - Season 2: The Interstellar Song Contest
Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 425.The stakes are high as the Doctor has to save a galaxy of fans both inside the arena and the viewing audience across the galaxy. This one was a mix of heavy (and at times hard to watch) themes and some comedic moments, so it's good to have some variety to chat through.Plus, we’re treated to returning classic characters the Rani and a surprise (very very very very long overdue) appearance from Susan, which got the feels going for sure. With that being said, are the cameos enough to pull the episode up out of this season's up-and-down feel so far?This is The Big Blue Box PodcastJoin us each week for a new episode every Friday from your hosts Garry and Adam.
