About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing speculation about the next Doctor Who showrunner and Netflix's potential influence on the series format.

Hey, Who fans, and welcome to The Big Blue Box Roundtable. On this episode, we don’t really have much concrete news, so it’s rumours and hearsay. We discuss the public two-horse race for the showrunner role (there could be other horses in the race, who knows) and the rumour that Netflix wants more control over format and runtime, IF they are, in fact, the next streaming partner. All interesting stuff, so grab a cuppa and settle in as we chat about all things Doctor Who! This was a Big Blue Box Roundtable episode. Thank you for joining Garry, Adam and various members of the writing team. Thank you again for listening.
