This week, Nathan, Brendan, Todd and James assemble an entire Doctor Who flashcast out of long-forgotten odds and ends and unleash another scorching hot take upon an unsuspecting internet. It’s the first and only new episode of Doctor Who in 2019 — Resolution (of the Daleks).
Over on Flight Through Entirety, you can catch some of our more lukewarm takes on the entirety of the Classic Series, as well as our coverage of the Christopher Eccleston Era and the first Doctor Who seasonal special, The Christmas Invasion. We’ll be back later in the year with our coverage of Series 2.
It’s been fun. Thanks for all your feedback. We’ll see you again next year.

What better way to kick off 2021 than watching Donald Trump and Theresa May unleashing a sexy new breed of Dalek upon the British voting public? It’s a good day for squid, explosions and farewells on Revolution of the Daleks.
Many thanks to Johnny Spandrell for his sudden guest appearance on this episode. You can find all his writings on Doctor Who at Random Whoness.

The Whittaker era is heading towards its inexorable end and dragging this podcast along with it, so it’s time to take a quick penultimate break in nineteenth-century China, where we watch a lot of villagers being killed, a statue breaking open or something, a mysterious sea monster with no apparent plot function, and the non-awaited return of some rubber masks from the 1970s. And, of course, the relationship between the Doctor and Yaz runs into serious fluogeomagnetic issues.
Here’s a link to Brendan’s YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker: his take on this episode will appear some time tomorrow (or today if you’re in a different time zone, I guess).

“That’s the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next.”
It’s the end of an era and the end of this podcast: time for us to get together on folding chairs in a church hall somewhere with everyone we ever met to talk about our adventures with The Power of the Doctor.
