You regular hosts Simon Horton and Dan Hadley returned to QUAD in Derby to host a panel with two terrific guests. Playing along with questions both serious and not so much, pulled from a TARDIS tin at complete random!
Daisy Ashford and Sadie Miller are actresses who’ve become familiar to Doctor Who fans in recent years, playing Liz Shaw and Sarah Jane Smith on audio for Big Finish Productions. Great sports here with no scripts or the faintest idea what’s coming next!?
Type 40’s long running Doctor Who commemorating another historic date and time in the history of the Whoniverse. On the 6th December 1989 the classic series was vanquished from the schedules of BBC1 after a 4 year battle against the odds...
Survivors of that fateful period Simon and Dan get together with Sarah to revisit that strangely silent Winter’s night. Don’t worry: there are still plenty of great memories and stupid jokes! Does time heal?
Returning for 2025 and a BRAND-NEW SEASON of our long-running Doctor Who Podcast on the Fandom Podcast Network: it’s Type 40!
With familiar voices and brand-new contributors alike. All gathering around the mic’s to cover the whole Whoniverse both on and off screen…
Beginning with this full review of the latest Doctor Who Christmas Special, Joy to the World by veteran writer Steven Moffat. The second special to star Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. Topping off a divisive year for our favourite Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV series!
Regular panellists Sarah, Charlotte, Simon and Dan are all in session to deliberate on which four personalities from over 60 years of the Whoniverse would be on the Mount Rushmore of Doctor Who? From both in front of and behind the cameras. Our panel evaluate their impact, performances, decisions and legacies as they go...
Who made the cut? From the easy charm of Jon Pertwee to the enigmatic father figure of series creator Sydney Newman and the impossibly long legs of Karen Gillan? We’ll analyse each candidates’ unique contributions to the series.
For the 150th edition of Type 40 we begin covering the All-New 2024 season in depth! This one continues from where last Christmas’s special left off. We review Space Babies, written by series showrunner Russell T Davies, our panel come with radically contrasting takes. Will they find anything to agree on?
Regular hosts Simon, Charlotte and Dan have a lot to say, as always! From the pairing of latest incarnation of the Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa with Millie Gibson as Ruby to the production design and how it measures up to season premieres past.
On Christmas Day 2023, we were served a steaming hot hour of snow, steeples, goblins and all the trimmings in The Church on Ruby Road written by returning showrunner Russell T Davies. Featuring the first full length adventure of our new Doctor and the debut of the series newest companion, Ruby Sunday.
Now we bring you a full review of the special: our initial thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of the Doctor and best guesses as to where things could go from here. Join regular host Dan Hadley with original co-host Kyle Wagner returning to the console room! Alongside the ever-insightful Charlotte Shields for some late Christmas cheer! Timed to coincide with Disney+ repackaging the special internationally to launch the first season of this all-important All New restart.
Our long running Doctor Who podcast returns to commence coverage of the Ncuti Gatwa era, beginning with this traditional preview of the first season premiering now on BBC iPLAYER and Disney+
The new era rather stalled on Boxing Day! Now we’ve official word of what’s to come in his first entire season of the 15th Doctors adventures! And we’re not alone because our guest once again is fandom legend, Ian Levine: Saviour of the Daleks and one of Doctor Who most seasoned commentators. Who better for regular panellists Simon, Charlotte and Dan to decode the title teasers and hunt for answers to the questions on all our minds?
There’s been a massive amount of public interest surrounding Doctor Who since its debut. Association with it has both made and arguably ended fortunes. There are a select set of people who seem inseparable from it. Generally they’re those you’d think! Many household names and industry darlings. And then there’s Ian Levine…
A tremendously successful man in his chosen fields or Songwriting and Music Production. To fellow fans though, he’s perhaps a polarising yet undoubtedly fascinating person. He joins regular hosts Sarah, Simon and Dan for this extended exclusive new interview. Just as he’s wowing the Whoniverse with a brand-new project, to bring the missing episodes back to life. Where do we start? How on Earth could we finish?? What dirt could he dish? Is Ian Levine really the ultimate Doctor Who fan?
Times are changing for The Doctor Who Appreciation Society! Perhaps the most monumental changes in the near 5 decades of this, the largest global fan club for dedicated followers of our favourite TV series. Whether you’re a member, a lapsed member or a never-have-been a member? There’s everything you could ever want to know about this timely reinvention of DWAS on the latest edition of Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast.
DWAS Co-ordinator Tony Jordan joins regular hosts Simon, Sarah and Dan to explain the vision of the future that’s being prepared for, as revealed earlier this week in a Special Announcement. Encompassing not just what it means to belong to the society itself, but also its long-standing magazine “Celestial Toyroom” among other things. It’s a bold plan and Tony makes for entertaining and authoritative company
Our first guest of 2024 on the Fandom Podcast Network’s long running Doctor Who show brings more than one story to tell! Writer Will Hadcroft’s been a fan of the series all his life. Despite being an author and publisher of several books in the last two decades, it’s been a long-held ambition to tell an original story of his own featuring the Time Lord…
Happily, Doctor Who: The Resurrection Plant by Will Hadcroft was released on CD and download by BBC Audio and has proven tremendously popular. Will joins regular host Dan Hadley to take you inside the entire writing process, recap some of the creative challenges and disclose his influences and inspirations.
Last Autumn we were invited to cover one of the biggest conventions of the Doctor Who calendar: the 14th Whooverville event at Quad in Derby. Not only that: regular hosts Simon Horton and Dan Hadley hosted this interview panel, with three unsuspecting guests, which you can get to enjoy now in full!
Hear the boys’ question, tease and test their panel: actor Tim Treloar who’s plays the Third Doctor in ongoing audio drama releases. Jonathan Carley’s likewise been acclaimed for his work as the War Doctor on the Big Finish range. Whilst Gary Russell is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable and reliable names in Doctor Who publishing. Our gratitude to The Whoovers convention organisers Stephen Hatcher & Andrew-Mark Thompson and everyone at Quad.
Christopher Jones is a comics professional: illustrator, storyboard artist and Educator from America who’s loved Doctor Who for years! Having worked for the “big two” and in television bringing to life some of pop cultures most colourful characters, he was a natural fit to draw classic incarnations of the Doctor. Now he’s returned to the Whoniverse as one of the creators involved in this exciting new graphic novel tying into the 60th anniversary, “Once Upon A Time Lord”.
Christopher joins regular host, Dan Hadley to preview the book, tell the story of his action-packed career and disclose the extent of his passion for our favourite television series. It’s the ideal conversation to bring our coverage of Doctor Who’s diamond anniversary year itself to a close

Regular hosts Dan, Sarah and Simon welcome TARDIS expert, Tony Farrell to the show. There’s not much he doesn’t know about the props, sets, stats and people who brought the concept to the screen for the very first time, back in 1963. So much so, BBC Wales drafted him to aid in recreating those sets for Twice Upon a Time.
Christopher Eccleston’s take on the Time Lord was arresting, afflicted and yes: a little arsey. Making a massive impact on the viewing public over just three months in 2005 before departing a burst of flames! Regular panellists Sarah Graham, Stephen Noonan and Dan Hadley get together to recap this crucial time and review a standout episode from Series 1: Father’s Day by Paul Cornell…
It’s a thorough discussion on a story quite unlike anything screened in the series long history, at time of transmission. But Is it still affecting? And is it good Doctor Who? You’ll get our opinions and memories delivered with the usual warmth, wit, and wisdom to stream or download HERE!
We bring you coverage of an exciting new, unofficial project recently announced and out filming at locations throughout Wales, this time on Type 40. “Dr. Who Meets the Scorpion” is described as “a 60-minute fan film based on the popular BBC TV serial – currently in production”. Bringing us a brand new incarnation of the Doctor, his new companion, some Daleks and even Robomen?

On this biggest ever edition of Type 40, we focus on arguably the most successful Doctor of them all, even to this day! The iconic fourth incarnation, as played by Tom Baker, means so much to our panellists Stephen Noonan, Simon Horton, and Dan Hadley. Just as he likely does to you…
Listen in as they attempt to pinpoint what it is about this one-of-a-kind actor in that role, that’s cast the longest of shadows and endures to this day. All building up to an in-depth discussion of the classic 1977 story Image of the Fendahl. One which marked a changing of the guard on the series, that perhaps gets overlooked? An intriguing tale perfect for these Diamond Series Reviews.
What better time to re-introduce our regular panellists than Doctor Who Podcast Day? Longtime podcaster Sarah Graham and writer & producer Simon Horton. Along with actor, voice artist & actual Time Lord for Big Finish Productions Stephen Noonan with regular host, broadcaster, and lifelong fan Dan Hadley.

Anecdotes, terrible Dad-jokes, confessions, and dormant memories are all laid out on this ideal jumping on point for new listeners to our popular show on The Fandom Podcast Network.
The third actor to take the role, Jon Pertwee was an extraordinary man by any measure. Regular hosts Dan and Simon are joined for the first time by actor and lifelong fan Stephen Noonan to look back on the lasting appeal of Pertwee’s formidable take on the Doctor. And review his 1974 classic Death to the Daleks…
Join them comparing drastically different experiences with this era and views on the story itself. The Third Doctor remains one of the most recognisable of all, 50 years on. This final encounter with his oldest foes makes for the perfect entry in our Diamond Review Series.
