<p>Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 420.</p><p>Today, we dive right into the "Robot Revolution," the season two opener of Doctor Who!</p><p>Spoiler alert: The episode was a mixed bag, landing somewhere between decent and just okay, which is kinda how we felt about it. We discuss the new companion, Belinda, and the new vibes she brings, along with the usual Doctor antics. Speaking of which, there’s a bit of a head-scratcher moment where the Doctor celebrates a villain’s demise, and we’re not sure how we feel about that.</p><p>Overall, we enjoyed some of the visuals and the robot design, but the story felt a bit thin and predictable. So grab your sonic screwdrivers and join us as we dissect this one and look ahead to next week's adventures!</p><p><strong>This is The Big Blue Box Podcast</strong></p><p>Join us each week for a new episode every Friday from your hosts Garry and Adam.

<p>Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 419.</p><p>This is a quick Garry solo show to wish modern Doctor Who a happy 20th anniversary! What a milestone, and we're very grateful and thankful for it, regardless of your or our view of the show these days. 2005, in some ways, feels like a lifetime ago, but in others, it feels like it was yesterday. Time works in weird ways (excuse the pun), and looking back to the episode Rose, it conjures up a feeling of magic and nostalgia. Good times.</p><p>As mentioned, if you're a Blake's 7 fan or thinking of giving it a go, we recently launched a podcast where we're going through the whole thing alongside the blu ray box sets. It's called <a href="https://lnkfi.re/federation-strike" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Federation Strike, A Journey Through Blake's 7.</a> We'd love it if you gave it a listen.

<p>Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 418.</p><p>Hey, Who fans! It's been a minute since we last put an episode out and this one is a Garry-solo, news-focused episode with an update on the latest Doctor Who news and how the weekly episodes here at The Big Blue Box will work moving forward.</p><p>Firstly, the main episodes that you've enjoyed for over a decade on a (nearly) weekly basis will now change to a seasonal format. Yep, we are no longer going to try and put episodes out every week. The two main reasons for this are: we've reviewed nearly everything apart from a couple of animated stories, and when there's no new Who going out and not much news, Doctor Who is a bit light on stuff these days. Secondly, Adam and I, when our schedules allow, don't want to force putting content out as you guys will notice it and drift off. I've seen it happen on other podcasts and it's the last thing I want for The Big Blue Box.</p><p>So in a nutshell - we aren't going away, we're not going on hiatus and we're not locking the doors to the TARDIS. We're sensibly putting the show on a seasonal format so when we do put content out, we're enthusiastic and have stuff to talk about. You'll next hear from us in April for our first proper season with our reviews for Season 2, then for the spin-off and our next season etc. Lastly, the monthly Round Table episodes will continue as normal, as the writing team have such interesting and entertaining views on all things Doctor Who.</p><p>Who fans, thank you, it's been amazing and a privilege for Adam and me to waffle to you all (again, nearly) every week for the last 10+ years and we hope you stick with us as we transition into a different format.</p><p>Also as a reminder - we set up the Cosmic Echoes podcast network this year, and although the amount of content for this podcast will be scaled back, we're bringing you more content overall! Our first new podcast - <a href="https://lnkfi.re/federation-strike" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7</a> - has gone down a treat so check that out if you're a Blake's 7 fan or you've heard of the show but not dived in.</p><p>Phew, with that being said, the rest of the episode is rounding up the latest Who news including the start date for Season 2, a casting announcement for Season 2, The Sun newspaper progressing their "the show is being axed" story with the Christmas Special now under threat, a ton of money raised at auction for Children in Need, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper back together for more 9 and Rose stories at Big Finish, and you can still grab the Season 7 blu ray collection from a couple of online retailers.</p><p>Links to the stuff we mentioned:</p><ul><li>Season 7 blu ray collection at <a href="https://amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Collection-Limited-Blu-ray/dp/B0DQLMHKNQ?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9OqMAwIyWx-_Q-K_ZxC7-K1MOaqeFJUzWKMKZ9T_5WmSGrJvqp0kvKOAa5T0GSqoIK1Iiv4gLqoAAijfTduaVeTIouoClYWLGT4loKKXGt7d9u2i5YAxiaTMMZ9C6jVUOhoTC0bEIVeTzJRWlieU-jLs9DGep9YF3QGgyJL9oCOUxI5oE1dp8-4dlXSuKeKY3HR6yxkM_WC_jgVTnVjjQgE-FhXrRXdYPYUEo956gXI.2MewfcDh5tTS-ikEDgzEsWowE7tM6pBZ0yYx2XCL0OA&dib_tag=se&sprefix=doctor+who+the+collection+season+7,dvd,83" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/doctor-who-the-collection-season-7-limited-edition-blu-ray/15861481.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zavvi</a>.</li><li><a href="https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/the-ninth-doctor-and-rose-return" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">9th Doctor and Rose adventures from Big Finish</a></li></ul><br/><p><strong>This is The Big Blue Box Podcast</strong></p><p>Join us each week for a new episode every Friday from your hosts Garry and Adam.
