The spaceship screamed over the London skyline, trailing a wake of oily black smoke through the cloudless sky.  With a terrific 'BONG!' its wing smashed through the clock face of Big Ben, destroying one of the capital's centuries-old icons. The ship banked hard following the collision and with a final roar of its guttering engine, it bellied down spectacularly into the Thames!This iconic shot from the 2005 Doctor Who revival is the work of visual effects master Mike Tucker - one of the few people to have worked on Classic and New Doctor Who!Mike began his career working on the Sixth and Seventh Doctor eras before moving on to create Red Dwarfs and Star Bugs for the Red Dwarf show, amongst many others. Returning to Doctor Who with it's revival, he was responsible for many of the model shots we all know and love including the BAFTA award winning work with Daleks on Day of the Doctor.In this episode, we talk to Mike about...his start in the industryhow going to school with Russell T Davies paid off years laterblowing up Daleksspinning the TARDIS on stringmodern CGI over practical effectswriting Doctor Who books and audios...and of course, much more!

Let's get FLUXED! We're back in the library (right next to the bar) of a beachside B&B in blistering hot Dorset for Part 2 of our EPIC chat with former Doctor Who showrunner and creator of the 13th Doctor, CHRIS CHIBNALL! Juiced up on tea, coffee, Coke Zero and water (for Paul because he's sensible) we dive right into the challenges of creating Doctor Who during a pandemic, and for the first time in a public interview Chris talks in great depth about the creation and production of Series 13: Flux.Just how close did we come to having no Doctor Who at all during Covid?The behind the scenes story of Flux is an adventure almost as incredible as what we saw on screen.But that's not all!Despite the encroaching heat (and occasional tinkle of glasses and muzak from the bar next door) we also find time to cover plenty more worthy topics of dicsussion and debate, including:More MYRKA!Chris's favourite Classic Season of WhoThe original plan for Season 13 pre-pandemicSteven Moffatt's text to Chris during FluxGetting SWARM wrong...'Thasmin' and what the Doctor and Yaz's relationship  journey means to so many fansThe Dalek episode we didn't get and the one we did getWhat did Dan and Yaz do after the Power of the Doctor...PLUS: we put Chris in the hot seat (literally) and subject him to a game of The Grand Serpent's Asteroid!We hope you enjoy listening to our interview as much as we did recording it. Chris was incredibly generous with his time and his insight, and yet, after spending the whole afternoon with him, it felt as though there was still so much more that the fans wanted answers to.So ... with that in mind......to be continued!!Support the show Subscribe to Who Corner to Corner on your podcast app to make sure you don't miss an episode!

On a scorching day at the tail-end of Summer 2023 your intrepid WhoC2C hosts Geoff and Paul climbed into their cars and headed off to the beautiful county of Dorset, to a seaside B&B a mere stone's throw from the locations used in the popular TV crime drama Broadchurch which, as anyone knows, features a cast list as impressive as any Doctor Who spinoff...However, we weren't interested in the stunning scenery of England's Jurassic Coast! Oh no! We had other things on our minds...For not only was this session to be the first we'd ever recorded in the same room as each other, but something which we had long been planning and working behind the scenes to make happen was finally about to come together...We'd booked the B&B's library for the whole afternoon and no sooner had we transformed this tranquil repose into a technology haven littered with strategically-placed mics and recording equipment, than a polite knock at the door announced the arrival of none other than real-life Doctor Who showrunner, CHRIS CHIBNALL!Anyone who listens to us regularly will know of our mutual love for Jodie's wonderful Doctor and her stories, and now here we were, in the same room as the guy who made it all happen. As you can imagine, having the chance to talk to Chris about some of our favourite Doctor Who of all time was incredibly special and here, in our podcast, we can share with you, our lovely listeners, the entirety of that 3-hour+ interview across two special podcast episodes. Settle down, because part one is gonna be a helluva ride for all Doctor Who fans as we hear from Chris about:The hope and optimism of the Thirteenth Doctor...Life after handing back the TARDIS keys...Chris's excitement for the future of Doctor Who...Which of his episodes had a  planned sequel that didn't happen...Keeping secrets and surprises in his Doctor Who...Cliffhangers and binge watching...What happens when monsters don't quite work...Bringing back past Doctors for Power of the Doctor...The process of writing and discovery within that...Jodie's magnificent Doctor and her "cinematic clowning"...The Writer's Room...The ITV Showrunner Programme...The unlimited creative framework of Doctor Who...The production decisions behind him taking on Doctor Who...Inclusion and representation in Doctor WhoAgatha Christie and Broadchurch...We hope you enjoy listening to Chris as much as we did talking with him so make sure to jump in on our socials (links below) and join the conversation.Check out part 2 of the chat here!  Don't forget to bookmark and subscribe to us - you seriously don't want to miss part two of this EPIC interview, coming soon!Support the show Subscribe to Who Corner to Corner on your podcast app to make sure you don't miss an episode!
