BBC Studios CEO Tom Fussell has confirmed that his production team will be making a strong bid for Doctor Who when it goes out to tender later this year. Chatting to Deadline, Fussell said: “We’ve been the producer for 60 years and we want to be the producer for another 60 years, so we will be going for that tender with gusto. We are in it to win it.” To be clear, BBC Studios hasn’t been the…

Time Lords! This week, we've kidnapped reality TV herstorian Jesse Garcia, co-host of the Shhh, My Stories Are On! podcast, for his first real foray into the Whoniverse as we're transported into the Game Station 100 years after the events of Satellite Five. 

The Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack Harkness are transported into futuristic reality shows like Big Brother and The Weakest Link, where they have to play to win or face deadly consequences. As they lip-sync for their lives and try to reunite, they discover they're on a familiar spaceship and they can no longer ignore the Bad Wolf warnings. 

Our hosts walk Jesse through his first proper episode of Doctor Who and Jesse has hot takes! We discuss how we'd like to spend our golden years like the human viewers of the Game Station, how Jesse is kindred spirits with Jackie Tyler, and how he doesn't get the appeal of Jack Harkness. Our listeners ask us to cast the Doctor into our favorite reality shows and we discuss how our favorite Big Brother contestants would do on this futuristic version. Plus, stay for the post-credits Zoog Disney tangent!

Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!

1. The most obvious, but why does The doctor have Rose's face? Is it something like how 14 had 10s face or is it due to something even more darker and gloomier? I would love to see a darker side and make 16/Rose become schizophrenic and it gets so bad that she has a new regeneration

2. While on the topic of darker eps, I would love to see a darker and more scarier Christmas special whenever it comes back to give contrast on how Christmas is usually full of joy and fun but instead it's spooky like The doctor dances, midnight etc.

3. A deeper dive on the timeless child. We find out the doctor isn't from Galifrey and is actually a timeless child but that's about it. They need to find who hey are instead of it just leading onto 15 (no hate to him he's one of my favs)

4. Also on the topic of finding who they are, an ep where the doctor realises they're queer and possibly genderfluid and possibly decides on pronouns

5. I've actually forgotten what she called it but Ace in 14's regeneration episode mentioned getting a zoomf or something to travel and it never explains what it is even if it's just explain quickly in an ep lol

6. Maybe for my personal love for her, but River Song still in the 'Saved' place but if she realises she's in a computer she can always 3D print herself, go into a game like pac man, or even just a quick audio warning to the doctor

7. An overdressed/maximalist doctor like the mad hatter and Artie from Cruella

8. An episode where different dimension but instead of it being like Doomsday there in the BBC Sherlock universe or something (Wholock mentioned yes)

9. A longer lasting confirmed mlm ship. I lover Rogue and it just had the potential to last way longer like 13 x yaz had it confirmed yet it still went on. E.g, doctor X master or even doctor x companion. Also how homophobia/transphobia can affect people
