In November 2024, I was invited onto popular Doctor Who fan podcast What’s In The Box? by host Jim Allenby, for what became a mammoth three part discussion about some of my favourite elements of the long running science fiction series.
You can find the podcast wherever you get your shows – just look for Episodes 69, 70 and 71.
Part 2: Funny Folk & Fairytales
For the middle of our discussion, Jim and I discussed my history of working in the comedy industry, and how Doctor Who has often cast comedians in a variety of roles across its 60+ year run. We also chatted about my personal favourite era of the modern run – the fantastical Series 5 and the arrival of Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill as The Doctor, Amy and Rory.
