About this episode

This discussion looks at recent comments made at the Edinburgh Television Festival concerning the future of Doctor Who , with or without Disney+, and the streaming platform's changing output. Are cutbacks in drama affecting the BBC and Disney+ partnership concerning Doctor Who ? Is this a major or minor bump in the road? And why has The War Between the Land and the Sea been put back until 2026? We look for some answers. For patrons, meanwhile, we have an exclusive chat about Sarah Jane Smith, following news of a new book dedicated to Lis Sladen's popular companion. Shownotes BBC states Doctor Who will return with or without Disney (Same link for The War Between the Land and the Sea ) Just Sarah: More Than Fifty Years of a Doctor Who Companion Kasterborous Substack Get in touch Enjoy the podcast?
