Happy Birthday, Raggedy Man and Ncuti's Comments Still Linger

The Doctor Who Big Blue Box Podcast

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 414.

Matt Steele, from our writing team, joins me this week as we celebrate the recent birthday of former Doctor Matt Smith, reflecting on his enduring impact on the franchise and the unique connection fans have with the show.

There's not much news knocking about but Ncuti's comment (now edited out on The Graham Norton Show) regarding the potential for a third season of Doctor Who, stirring up speculation and excitement within the fandom, still lingers. With the BBC and Disney remaining tight-lipped about the show's future, we explore the implications of this uncertainty and what it could mean for the beloved series.

We finish with Matt's journey into Doctor Who, sharing his favourite stories and the moments that hooked him in with a final thought on the show's future trajectory and whether it might benefit from a brief hiatus to reset and rejuvenate.
