    Nov 23 2025

    Happy Doctor Who Day, everyone! The Three Who Rule celebrate the 62nd birthday for our favourite television show as only Doctor Who fans can, by morosely speculating on the show's increasingly grim prospects in light of an ever-changing media landscape. Fun! Plus we look into Rachel Talalay's and Dalek 63-88's latest lovely Youtube videos, the newly released schedule for Surf and Turf, audio fun with The Wheel in Space on vinyl and various Big Finish bits and bobs, and Day Three of our Torchwood: Children of Earth retrospecticus!

    The War Between the Land and the Sea is premiering Sunday, December 7! While that throws a wrench in our usually stable release plans, we're certain we can all cope through the first three weeks of December. In other news, the Three Who Rule calm the waters on missing episode rumblings, a follow-up on Tubi disintegrating Classic Doctor Who from its listings, Gallifrey One news, more staircase intrigues, and the Pondcast, a new podcast featuring none other than Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill reminiscing about their time on Doctor Who! But the real highlight is a descent into 2009 with the second part of our re-examination of Torchwood: Children of Earth!

    Nov 9 2025

    The Three Who Rule take on the big questions this week, including whether or not to call the Sea Devils "Homo Aqua," possible BBC broadcast plans for The War Between the Land and the Sea, the existence of 4K 35mm transfers of telecined old TV shows, and most importantly the spreading media virus known as the Spiral Staircase, which has driven Steven further around the bend than usual! Plus Tubi intrigue regarding the status of Classic Doctor Who, Doctor Who Magazine issuing massive pieces about Carole Ann Ford and Terry Nation, and most importantly, the first of our five-part re-evaluation of Torchwood: Children of Earth!
