We have a new Doctor!

Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the Fourteenth Doctor, starting in 2023 under returning showrunner Russell T. Davies. We're joined by Richard (@CleverDickFilms) to talk about what we can expect in the "RTD2" era. However, we don't forget that we still have a Doctor to say goodbye to. Fans have been teased by what awaits the final appearance of the Thirteen Doctor in the BBC centenary special. How will we leave Jodie Whittaker's Time Lord and her companions, Yaz and Dan? Where do we think Chris Chibnall will take us? Let us know what you're excited about for the remaining Whittaker era and the upcoming Gatwa era.

Jessica and Phillip continue their "classic Who" watch with Series 13, starring Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen as the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. This completes their second season with the Fourth Doctor - they talk about the differences between Pertwee and Baker, how Sarah Jane holds up as the "sole" companion of the series, and what the best stories were. They look at "Terror of the Zygons," "Planet of Evil," "Pyramids of Mars," "The Android Invasion," "The Brain of Morbius," and the globe-trotting "The Seeds of Doom." Which story is your favorite?

Our favorite Whovian actors have a wide filmography - so we look into one of our favorites, River Song herself, in a 1996 mini-series, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders." Alex Kingston plays the titular role, based on the Daniel Defoe novel, as she seeks to be a "gentlewoman" in a society that pushes back against women. The four episodes span a wide assortment of romances and adventures (and children!) that leave their mark on Alex's performance.

But he was not the first Ninth Doctor. An enterprising group of Whovians inside BBC were desperate to find a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Doctor Who" in 2003.

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple re-vists the rebirth of "Doctor Who" in 2005 with "Rose," introducing the Ninth Doctor and his companion. How well did the "re-introduction" work for new audiences?

In this second part of Jessica and Phillip's two-part Dalek TV v. movie series, they focus on the second (and last) Peter Cushing "Doctor Who" movie: "Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D." They look at how it stands as it's own movie, how it compares with it's TV inspiration, the First Doctor adventure "The Dalek Invasion of Earth," and whether the Daleks could use another movie treatment. 

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple re-visit the Twelfth Doctor story "Into the Dalek," and how this episode tries to make a Dalek "good," and even "interesting."

Jessica and Phillip begin their two-part series of exploring Daleks, the Doctor, and Peter Cushing. In this first installment, they examine the First Doctor Adventure "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" which served as the inspiration for the second Doctor Who film, starring Cushing as the Doctor. This six-part serial provides adventures for William Hartnell's Doctor, as well as Ian, Barbara, and Susan (who leaves the series at the end of this serial). What made this story good enough for a feature film?

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple revisits "Dalek," the Ninth Doctor story that "re-introduced" the Skaro fiends to "nuWho." What makes a single Dalek so scary? Plenty, it turns out.

In their look into the TARDIS library, they revisit another West End star who served as a companion - Bonnie Langford's Mel in her last serial "Dragonfire." The couple look at how this Seventh Doctor adventure sorta got rid of Mel as an afterthought as it welcomed Ace (Ace!) as the new companion.

Companions come and go - sometimes sad, sometimes not. However, the way they leave the TARDIS and the Doctor can be controversial at times. Jessica and Phillip look at how all of the nuWho companions have left and whether it made sense. They also connect them to "classic" companion exits to see if there are any patterns to how the TARDIS journey ends.

Change isb't easy, but in "Doctor Who," we often have companions who help us transition to a new Doctor. The arrival of the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) meant that Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) had to serve as the audience surrogate and help the transition from bow ties & fezzes to a no hugging magician. Clara's relationship with 12 is different from her interactions with 11, and after she left, audiences got to meet Nardole (Matt Lucas) and Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie). Jessica and Phillip talk about the unique aspects of these companions to the 12th Doctor and how they relate to companions past and future.

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple visit "The Power of the Daleks," as Ben and Polly must cope with the first regeneration of the Doctor ever. How do these companions help the audience with this first change in the Doctor?

Besides the Doctor, perhaps no other "Doctor Who" character is as "timey-whimey" as his wife - Dr. River Song (Alex Kingston). Jessica and Phillip try to make sense of her life and times by watching all her episode appearances in the order of her personal chronology and ask ... does it make sense? From baby Melody Pond to regenerated Mel to the River Song we all know (and love!), how does the trial and tribulations of this psychopath assassin become the great love of the Doctor?

It's no surprise that, with so many actors appearing in "Doctor Who," some get "re-cast" in other Whovian roles throughout the years. However, a few of the main actors in the franchise previously appeared in other episodes. Jessica and Phillip look at Eve Myles appearing as a guest star before moving on to "Torchwood," and Freema Agyeman appearing in a Tenth Doctor story before being cast as the new Tenth Doctor companion. They then do an in-depth discussion of "The Fires of Pompeii," with guest actors Karen Gillan and Peter Capaldi before they became, respectively, a companion and a Doctor.

Peter Capaldi was not the first Doctor to appear previously in the franchise as a guest role - in their look into the TARDIS library, the couple examine the Fifth Doctor story "Arc of Infinity," with a Gallifreyan security chief played by soon-to-be-Doctor Colin Baker.

There are a variety of "Doctor Who" extra episodes, usually around holidays, anniversaries or DVD/Blu-Ray releases. However, the TARDIS and Time Lord traditionally appear in specials during two annual charity telethons: Children in Need and Red Nose Day (Comic Relief). Jessica and Phillip go through all the "mini-sodes" throughout the years, including Christmas special promos and extra scenes. They also talk "The Catharine Tate Show," "Call the Midwife," and "The Sarah Jane Adventures" specials.

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple look at "Dimensions in Time," the 1993 Children in Need special featuring classic Doctors 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, as well as a variety of companions.

The first attempt to "revive" the Doctor Who franchise after the end of the classic era was a joint produced TV movie by 20th Century Fox and the BBC. "Doctor Who: The Movie" introduced the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) and helped reboot interest in the series, as well as finding new fans. However, all these decades later, this TV movie adventure with The Master (Eric Roberts) and new companions is sometimes seen as controversial, due to some "twists" in the cannon.

Jessica and Phillip talk about what they enjoyed, what they didn't, and what was ... "interesting."

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple revisits the last televised epiosde of classic Doctor Who, "Survival." In the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace's final television adventure, will The Master (Anthony Ainley) and the Cheetah People transform our heroes?

Former "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat faced a difficult task when he helmed the series in 2013 - put together a 50th Anniversary special for the franchise. "The Day of the Doctor" is generally regarded as a powerhouse entry, pairing up the 10th and 11th Doctors with a "surprise" Doctor - the War Doctor. Jessica and Phillip talk about John Hurt's portrayl of this "new" Doctor, what the 9th Doctor would have been like in that role, and how well the three Time Lords played together.

For their look into the TARDIS library moment, the couple examine "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot," a 50th Anniversary special written and directed by Peter Davison (5th Doctor), starring Colin Baker (6th Doctor), Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor), Paul McGann (8th Doctor), and a slew of "Doctor Who" stars, both in front of and behind the camera.

There's new "Doctor Who" to talk about! Well ... sorta.

The recently released "Shada," the abandoned 1979 Douglas Adams'-penned Fourth Doctor story, has hit the UK. Original footage of the Doctor (Tom Baker), Romana II (Lalla Ward), K-9, and others combined with recent animation (and original cast voices) has brought this "lost story" back to life. Jessica and Phillip review this restored classic Who story which includes "punting on the Cam," killer memory spheres, more Time Lords than you can count, TARDISes within TARDISes, and more. They see how well the "restored" story stands up and how well the live vs. animated footage mix together.

In their look into the TARDIS library, the couple discuses another couple -- the only time the Doctor has married his companion! That's right, they examine the 1980 marrage of Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.

What better way to experience "Doctor Who" than in the United Kingdom? Jessica and Phillip share about their recent holiday in England where they visited "Doctor Who"-related sites and spoke to their English friends about the show. The couple talk about visiting the Earl's Court police box and their fantastic stop & interviews with Whovians at The Who Shop in London (www.thewhoshop.com).

Since they were Americans visiting the UK, it only made sense to use this episode's look into the TARDIS library to discuss the first American companion, Peri Brown, to travel with the Doctor & her introductory serial, "Planet of Fire."

It's a new year, and we are officially in the Chris Chibnall-era of "Doctor Who." Even though viewers got only a few seconds of Jodi Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor in the 2017 Christmas special, that doesn't mean they don't have enough information to speculate about what awaits in the next series. Jessica and Phillip discuss the announced companions for the new Doctor (Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole, and Mandip Gill), their backgrounds, and what a large group of companions could mean for Series 11 of "nuWho."

The married co-hosts also share their experiences seeing the Fathom Events theatrical release of the 2017 Christmas Special, "Twice Upon a Time," and what extras were included in their local cinema. In their visit to the TARDIS library, the couple examine the freshly regenerated Sixth Doctor in "The Twin Dilemma," and how confused a new Doctor can be -- especially when he tries to kill his companion!

As "Doctor Who" says goodbye to Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, Jessica and Phillip look at some of the Time Lord's past regenerations. They discuss how 9 (Christopher Eccleston) became 10 (David Tennant) in "The Parting of the Ways," 10's change into 11 (Matt Smith) in "The End of Time, Part Two," and 11's regeneration into 12 in "The Time of the Doctor."
