Episode 343: Here We Go Again

In this episode, hosts Kyle Jones, Clarence Brown, and Lee Shackleford return from a nearly year-long hiatus to discuss their complex feelings regarding the current state of Doctor Who. The conversation centers on a perceived "disconnect" with the Disney+ era, specifically critiquing the 2025 finale's "sacrilegious" choice to leave Carole Ann Ford on the cutting room floor and the "cynical" feeling of the show's rebranding for American audiences. Beyond the series itself, Kyle opens up about the personal life challenges, leading into a broader discussion on the current state of fandom and the comfort found in Classic Who. The trio wraps up by speculating on the upcoming 2026 Christmas special—including rumors of the "Lost Doctor" and Billie Piper's mysterious role—while celebrating the recovery of two previously lost episodes of the show.
