About this episode

The episode is a retrospective on Season 21 of Doctor Who, discussing highlights and low points of the season.

Recorded over six months ago, we finally bring you our Season 21 Retrospective! It’s been a long road – we started Season 21 way back in January 2026, and finally put this out at the end of August 2026. Life events led to a four-month hiatus, and so here we are, finishing up this particular journey. And so we bring you the usual blend of awards, metrics, and questions from our friends on social media that has come to epitomise the end of a season for us! Join us as we recap the season, discussing such highs as the Tiny Master, Sixie’s magnificent table jump, Turlough finally coming good, as well as such lows as the beigest Doctor of them all, excessively creepy villains, and very questionable martial arts moves (yes, we keep coming back to Warriors on the Cheap for this season’s bad moments!). Meanwhile, Reilly and Anthony sing some Prokofiev, and the crew discusses whether the Fifth Doctor’s death scene was truly upstaged by Nicola Bryant’s cleavage… If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB). If you’re a little old fashioned…
