Episode 149: The Church On Ruby Road Review

It’s practically impossible pleasing the entirety of Doctor Who fandom, but when Bad Wolf Studios and the BBC confirmed plans for the Doctor Who Christmas Special to return? It came pretty close. Staple of the British TV schedules for over a decade from 2005 onwards and much missed even by the general audience!

On Christmas Day 2023, we were served a steaming hot hour of snow, steeples, goblins and all the trimmings in The Church on Ruby Road written by returning showrunner Russell T Davies. Featuring the first full length adventure of our new Doctor and the debut of the series newest companion, Ruby Sunday.

Now a few months on we bring you a full review of the special: our initial thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of the Doctor and best guesses as to where things could go from here. Join regular host Dan Hadley with original co-host Kyle Wagner returning to the console room! Alongside the ever-insightful Charlotte Shields for some late Christmas cheer! Timed to coincide with Disney+ repackaging the special internationally to launch the first season of this all-important All New restart. Stream or download Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast HERE:
