Who's There? | A Doctor Who Podcast

In just a few days, it'll be one year since the most recent Doctor Who episode, The Reality War, aired on BBC1, Disney+ and in UK cinemas. 12 months on, is it as bad as everyone said at the time? Join Troy and special guest Cooper Britton of Nostalgia Bait, as they discuss the highs and lows of The 15th Doctor's finale, one year on...

Between regenerations, companion exits, powerful musical moments and defining speeches, there are plenty of emotional moments in Doctor Who - but which stand out most? Join me as I take a host of your calls and debate the most emotionally powerful episodes and scenes in the show...
