About this episode
It's a mystery that isn't as the BBC publishes then pulls confirmation that Ncuti Gatwa's first series will air in "Spring 2024", as we all suspected. This had the unsurprising effect of clickbait farms pondering on Doctor Who's future, which in actuality will also feature Big Brother and Dead Set's own Davina McCall and Indira Varma! We also have a video essay about I, Claudius (because of course we do), details on the book launch of Simon Guerrier's "David Whitaker in an Exciting Adventure with Television", Big Finish endings and audiobook news, and most excitingly, Part One of our Classic Series Commentary of "Mawdryn Undead"!
