On the one hundred and nineteenth episode of Reality Bomb, we talk with the Guardian’s Martin Belam about how Doctor Who is doing in the current television landscape, and what we should look forward to, and worry about, in the coming years. And we look back on Is This Rumour Hot or Not? for the past season of Doctor Who and update what was really accurate… and what was wildly wrong with Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid. Plus feeling fan anxiety? Ask about Focus Zerk!

On the one hundredth and eigtheenth edition of Reality Bomb, we have our longest episode yet as we catch up on all the news we’ve missed while we were off (plus a few other things!) First, Graeme Burk talks with Lacy Baugher Milas of Den of Geek about Doctor Who’s return to SDCC after five years away. We finish our review of the latest season, and look to the future, as Sage Young and Sanjay Lago discuss Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death. And we look to the past, or rather how the past is being re-presented through new blu-ray and streaming releases with Jon Arnold and Max Kaschevsky… which leads nicely into Gallery of the Underrated, where James Cooray Smith (of Graeme’s favourite Doctor Who-themed newsletter, The Psychic Paper — which you should really subscribe!) brings the recently CG animated missing story, The Celestial Toymaker. Plus Hot Take Roulette with KatyBeth Schmid… and Spoiler Cops concludes!

On the one hundred and fifteenth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk talks with Guardian writer Martin Belam about his controversial 2021 article about Doctor Who (after a massive series of changes in Doctor, showrunner, studio and co-production partner subsequently) and examines at the current state of Doctor Who in 2024 and what’s ahead. Head Over Feels’ co-founders Kim Rogers and Sage Young share a Reality Bomb segment for the first time in years to talk about this year’s Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles and how the vibe there has changed with recent developments on the show. And we look to the future of commuting, and it doesn’t look good, as Julie Chaston brings Gridlock to the Gallery of the Underrated.

Reality Bomb Episode 112

October 31, 2023

On the one hundred and twelfth edition of Reality Bomb, we talk to classical musician Elizabeth Reid McQuillan about the new version of the Doctor Who theme and what makes the Doctor Who theme so popular. We chat with Graham Kibble-White, co-author of the new bookazine Adventures in Type and Space, about how the book came together, and how some of the greatest title sequences in Doctor Who’s history came together… with exclusive clips of Graham’s interviews with the legendary Bernard Lodge and Peter Govey. And we reconvene the Reality Bomb Book Club as Shannon Dohar and Martin Hajovsky discuss Russell T Davies’ and Benjamin Cook’s behind the scenes look at the making of series four, Doctor Who: The Writer’s Tale. Plus: Graeme Burk examines the origins of the oooo-eee-oooos and the dumba-ba-dums that make up the Doctor Who theme to see how it connects with Murray Gold’s latest version … and we discover, the hard way, that there are some things in the world of Doctor Who that are more ridiculous than any comedy sketch we can make.
