Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 429.

Things are a bit quiet, but there's still a few bits and bobs knocking about. The big question on everyone’s mind still is about Billy Piper's mysterious role—could she be the Doctor? Colin Baker and Steven Moffatt have some interesting thoughts! Plus, I give you the lowdown on upcoming conventions, a reminder to get your pre-order in for the upcoming Season 13 blu ray set and a new comic series dropping Nov 5th.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 428.

Twenty years after their on-screen adventures, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper are re-united for more trips in the TARDIS over at Big Finish. I've got all the details in this episode! "Back to the Powell Estate, where the Doctor’s past returns to haunt him, and out into the universe where enemies old and new are waiting... "

In other news, Doctor Who has landed its first-ever Emmy nomination — amazingly, after more than 60 years — in the category for Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming. (Not something I ever expected to tick off on the "Doctor Who Emmy Nominations Bingo Card"!)

Writer Mark Gatiss dropped some interesting thoughts on making Doctor Who in a recent interview, touching on the use of nostalgia, with this cutting line: "...It’s part of the reason we’re in the mess we are...". Oof! It's a great interview and Mark has many of us, myself included, nodding along.

We've also got a few other bits worth shouting about: the upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea is rumoured to arrive this autumn, there's a fun interview with Ncuti Gatwa (including a random run-in with Matt Smith), and some insights from BBC Studios' Commercial CEO Tom Fussell on their continued commitment to the show.

Oh, and some tasty merch is on the way — including the long-awaited Season 13 Blu-ray Collection.

Sonic Screwdriver at the ready. Let’s go.
