We've been talking about relaunch points for Doctor Who the past few weeks (first "Rose" and then "The Eleventh Hour") so we thought we would go back to the first time that the show completely reinvented itself -- way back in 1970 -- when "Spearhead From Space" literally tranformed Doctor Who into a totally new show with a new cast, new format, and broadcasting in colour for the first time. "Spearhead" was a game-changer. We give you an in-depth review of the masterpiece that relaunched Doctor Who.

First, though, we cover some news, then we talk about our weekend at the Stellar Fest convention!

Just one week after celebrating the 20th Anniversary of "Rose," we have the 15th Anniversary of the original broadcast of "The Eleventh Hour." This episode was a pivot point for the series, as it moves into a whole new era with a new showrunner, a new Doctor, and a new companion. How does it perform this monumental task, and how does it stack up to "Rose"? Give us a listen and find out!

First, though, we take a look at the news, including the announcement of episode titles for Season 2 and the new album by Peter Capaldi!

It's been EXACTLY 20 years (okay, almost!) since "Rose" first broadcast on BBC One, bringing Doctor Who back to the airwaves and relaunching the phenomenon for a whole new generation. Everything was riding on this one episode! Luckily the production team knocked it out of the park! We take a fresh look at this episode one of the most important chapters in Doctor Who history. Does it live up to its reputation?

This week we pay a visit to 1996 and Paul McGann's sole television outing as the Doctor, in the television movie Doctor Who (or as we fans know it, The Enemy Within). You may be surprised by our review of it -- we're pretty harsh on it for a film we love so much. But hopefully it'll all make sense!

Before our review, we read some Listener Feedback and tackle the latest Doctor Who news!

How about you? When did you first see the TV Movie? Did you watch it on original broadcast? What was your initial reaction to it, and has your opinion changed over the years? We'd love to hear from you! If you've enjoyed the show, please leave a comment, review, or rating wherever you're listening!

Season 2 is just a month away, and the BBC and Disney+ has a dropped a new trailer -- TWO new trailers, in fact! Ashley, Josh and Alan take a detailed look at both trailers, break 'em down, and reveal some carefully considered predictions (i.e. wild speculation) about what's in store for us in the season to come!

Then, we analyze two important bits of recent news about the state of Doctor Who on Disney+ and the future of the project to animate the rest of the missing and incomplete 60s serials.

This week Ashley, Josh and Alan wrap up Big Finish’s Once and Future miniseries with up the long-delayed finale “Coda - The Final Act.” It’s our first taste of Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor on audio, and it also features Jonathan Carley as War Doctor, Lisa Bowerman as Bernice, Chase Masterson as Vienna. But before we dive into our review of that, we have an awful lot of news to get through, including Season 2 launch date and guest stars, new novels, an announcement from Gallifrey One, and more!

"The War Games” – the final story of the Second Doctor era from 1969 – has now been released in a drastically altered format, with a new colourisation, new special effects, new CGI, a new score, and a severe new edit! But more than that, this version makes significant character and narrative changes as well. It’s been a controversial release to say the least ... and we have a wide range of reactions to it!
