Description
Broader and deeper than Doctor Who...
Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub. Over a decade later, the team has expanded and so has the remit; nowadays we publish episodes approximately three times a week, and the discussion has moved on to include any number of subjects that Doctor Who fans might find themselves chatting about during the aforementioned informal gatherings. So alongside our main subject, you'll find us talking about films, and music, and politics, and other TV programmes, and more besides - and occasionally talking to special guests about their interests too. But of course, plenty of Doctor Who.

We're about as far on now from Tremors, as that was from 1954's Them! when it came out in 1990 - but are giant worms in the Sierra Nevada still such a fun concept in 2025? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Dylan Rees
Our imaginary reboot of Doctor Who, created entirely from remakes of stories of the past, finds itself under the auspices of a new showrunner - and with a new Doctor in the form of Michelle Terry Presented by J.R. Southall, with Simon Brett
Two films with aliens masquerading as human beings from either side of 1990, one being Abel Ferrara's take on (Invasion of the) Body Snatchers, and the other from the director of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Presented by J.R. Southall, with Mark Donaldson and Dylan Rees
We mark the passing of founder member Dave Ball, by looking back at his time in Soft Cell alongside Marc Almond Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Simon Brett and Eric Drass Eric's Shardcore website
It's over half a century now since the Doctors' timelines first crossed in something resembling what we might know now as an "anniversary special", and certainly the lustre has come off The Three Doctors somewhat in those fifty-odd years - according to some reports at least. But how does it stand up five decades on? The randomiser has decided we take a look Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber and Steve Hatcher
Austin Butler in a crime comedy from the director of Black Swan, Mother! and Requiem for a Dream? That couldn't possibly work... could it? (Warning: contains spoilers for major plot developments.) Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Ryan Blake
In which we divide into teams in order to choose the Doctor Who story that is the most appropriate for its Halloween broadcast slot Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Steve Hatcher, Matt Barber and Ryan Blake
Doctor Who is back, and this time it's just for Christmas - or is it? We try to get to the bottom of yesterday's announcement countering the premature death notices for RTD's Doctor Who Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber and Simon Brett
An overview of the three films directed by the Monkeypaw Productions man: Get Out, Us and Nope Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber and Ryan Blake
When we discovered that Zack Snyder and James Gunn, the two titans of DC, were both credited on the 2004 remake of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, we just had to investigate. And then when we noticed that the creator of the Final Destination franchise had also been partly responsible for the remake of follow-up Day of the Dead four years later, we decided to watch that one too. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Richie Morgan and Dylan Rees
Ron Howard's latest is set among German colonists on the Galapagos Islands between the wars of the last century, with Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas and Vanessa Kirby (not to mention Jude Law) falling out in the Equatorial sun. What could possibly go wrong? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Ryan Blake
Philip Hinchcliffe might have suggested that Mary Whitehouse was "somewhat over-hysterical", but Barry Letts admitted that when she complained about Doctor Who, the viewing figures went up. So was the temptation in the mid-1970s to push the series too far in order to attract viewers? And how far is too far? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber
Ian Fleming's debut novel Casino Royale has been adapted for the screen three times, in wildly different versions. After having spoken about the other two, we decided it was time to take a look at the first, a live US TV play broadcast while the novel was barely off the press. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber, Steve Hatcher and Dylan Rees
The star of Four Weddings, the writer of Andor, Carrie from Sex and the City, the director of Seven Up! and Gene Hackman - not to mention produced by Elizabeth Hurley - is quite the line-up of talent. Can Extreme Measures live up to its promise? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Dylan Rees
The randomiser brings us to Earth in 2164 (or so), exactly-ish two centuries in the future after a plague has wiped out the majority of the population of the planet and it's almost like WWII never stopped happening. But will the BBC manage to convey all this from the confines of a little TV studio? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber
There's been a lot of love for the recent Tim Key comedy about a reclusive music fan who tries to get his favourite folk duo back together again. But what would we make of it? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber
You'd think Doctor Who news might be a bit thin on the ground with no production currently underway nor very much likely to be any time soon. But the rumours and gossip just keep on coming. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber, Ryan Blake, Mark Donaldson and Steve Hatcher
How will our current mascot Danny Dyer take, to starring in a more bucolic version of Doctor Who? Our reimagined history of the series enters its seventh season. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber
When we realised that the director of The Sword and the Sorcerer had also made the 1990 Captain America, we couldn't resist going back for another look at both Presented by J.R. Southall, with Dylan Rees
We travel back to the 1990s, before even The Curse of Fatal Death was a twinkle in Steven Moffat's eye, to look at some of the writer-for-hire and one-off projects he completed before he became a household name Presented by J.R. Southall, with Dylan Rees
