The Who Watch Podcast

Let's go off to the Virgin Megastore!

Beth and David are joined by the best-selling author, Doctor Who: Redacted creator, and all-round gorgeous icon Juno Dawson to explore the joy that is The War Machines.

There's a revelatory fact about EastEnders star Steve McFadden, a horrific throwback to THAT phonecall between King Charles and Queen Camilla, and a chat about everyone's favourite topic - AI!

You can pre-order Juno's latest book, Queen B, from Waterstones, or your other book providers!

Plus, you can listen to both seasons of Doctor Who: Redacted on BBC Sounds if you're in the UK, and on other platforms around the world.

And you can follow Juno on the Instagrams - @junodawson.

Massive thanks to Common Press for hosting us - they do amazing work to highlight and support LGBTQIA+ people in their bookshop and cafe. We were very lucky to be able to use their podcast and event space for this recording - go support them here with a membership, or by buying from their store just off Brick Lane in East London.

Beth and David are back on Saturday with more from their chat with Juno!

A moment of silence, please, for Ian and Babs.

Beth and David are simultaneously thrilled and absolutely devo'd at The Chase. Thrilled because it's an absolute banger of a story, devo'd because they're losing two of the best companions of all time (and space). Plus, David thought there'd be more Bradley Walsh references and there weren't.

But before they get to their happy ending, there's lots happening! There's a screaming Irish ghost, an appalling American accent by Peter Purves, Hammer Horror, even more Peter Purves, and an unknowing flash forward to Daleks In Manhatten.

Make sure you subscribe for new episodes - the gang are back next Wednesday with the finale of Season Two, The Time Meddler.

In the meantime, you can get in touch with Beth and David on socials - @whowatchpodcast - or send them some love via email - [email protected].

The Cybermen are back, in one of their most iconic stories yet - and we're here to chat all about it.

We've got thoughts on Toberman, "normal" milk, and suspicious Southern European accents - and our usual fun facts, background characters, quotes, and, of course, Song Of The Story.

Next week - the Yeti are coming...

Did someone say "special guest"?

Well, we certainly did, and we were blessed with the appearance of TV reviewer supreme, Scott Bryan!

In this episode, we tackle some flappy Cybermen, discuss Zoe Herriot's very iconic bob, and, inspired by Nihal Arthanayake, forensically examine Scott's Instagram thirst traps.

Plus, there's our usual fun facts, background characters, quotes, and Scott chooses the winner of Song Of The Story!

We're off now for a little post-season nap, but don't worry - there's some more bits and pieces with ar Scott out on the 28th December 2024 - that'll keep you going over the Christmas season, surely!

We're back with season 6 (!) in January 2025. Until then, have a gorgeous Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year!

While you wait for us to come back, you can listen to Scott's very good podcast, The Bachelor of Buckingham Palace, on BBC Sounds, Wondery+, or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you want someone to help sort through the best and worst of new telly, Scott co-presents Must Watch, along with Hayley Campbell and Naga Munchetty. You can listen live every Monday at 1pm UK on BBC Radio 5 Live, or you catch up with the podcast version on BBC Sounds, or on your podcast app.

*bonus episode alarm noise*

The phenomenal Juno Dawson joins The Who Watch to answer your questions, and just have a gorgeous natter.

Will we see a return of Redacted? What about a TV adaptation of her Sunday Times best-selling novels, Her Majesty's Royal Coven? And...would she ever write for Doctor Who?

There's goblin nipples, Jesy Nelson impressions, and a celebration of Jovanka Airlines - what more could you want?

The Who Watch Podcast is back soon with David and Beth's thoughts on Season One (2024) - follow the show to hear it first!

You can pre-order Juno's latest book, Queen B, from Waterstones, or your other book providers!
