<div>This week's podcast was supposed to be Christian chatting with the Doctor Who Companion's Philip Bates about Doctor Who Series 15... and then Newsround published a brief chat with Russell T Davies.<br> <br> Suddenly, we had to talk about the possibility that Doctor Who Series 15 might be the last, certainly as far as the current production setup is concerned, and maybe longer term, too.<br> <br> So, the episode kicks off with Christian and James (which you may have already seen in the video chat earlier), then moves onto a previously recorded chat with the DWC editor. <br> <br> </div> <h1>Shownotes</h1> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-pause-russell-t-davies-newsupdate/">Russell T Davies chats to Newsround</a><ul><li><a href="https://www.kasterborous.co.uk/is-doctor-whos-time-running-out-plus-beatles-quatermass-battle-of-britain-secrets/">Last week's episode: Is Doctor Who's time running out?</a></li></ul> </li> <li><a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-best-20-modern-episodes/">Doctor Who modern episodes ranked</a></li> <li><a href="https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2025/03/26/the-doctor-who-companion-turns-9-years-old-today/">Doctor Who Companion turns 9</a></li> </ul> <div><br> </div> <h1>Get in touch</h1> <div> <br> Subscribe to our podcast?
