The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat

Joined by our old friend Gareth Preston, we discuss the news of the departure of Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker, Chaz gushes forth with an unusual theory of why the TARDIS was destroyed in the End of Time. Lurching from traumatic mutations to bloody stones to Halloween 3 - Kneale before us, it’s The Randomiser Podcast episode 17.
Chaz and Tim have recently guested on Gareth's excellent podcast Very British Futures and heartily recommend it for a series of discussions of forgotten gems of British Sci-fi and Fantasy. Also Kinvig.
