Who is YOUR Favourite Doctor Who?
Episode 35
Sunday, 8 March, 2026
Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast!As regular listeners may have become aware, Geoff's love for Doctor Who has diminished of late. With no new season on the horizon and rumours of yet another David Tennant return - not to mention the frankly weird and desperate ending to Series 2 "Oh! Hello!" - our saddened and deflated co-host turned to his best friend for comfort and inspiration. No, not Paul. Geoff's best buddy it seems is Al Dewar, Creative Director at Character Options. And one windy night around 3am, whilst playing adventures with his new line-up of top secret Doctor Who figures, Al received a call from sad Geoff entreating him to help rediscover the love he once had for Doctor Who. "Geoff," said Al, deftly moving a prototype [REDACTED] across the tabletop towards a freshly sculpted [REDACTED] to get a better look at the new [REDACTED] figure. "Get a grip. Jodie's gone. However, what about these suggestions for podcast topics..." Several hours later a newly invigorated Geoff texted Paul to say "We're doing our Favourite Doctor and their Costumes!" "Cool" said Paul. And the rest, as they say, is history! So here we go. With special guest Al Dewar plus lots of contributions from our lovely listeners and followers on social, here's our lively dicussion on Your Favourite Doctors. Who is YOUR Doctor? Is it the Doctor you grew up with? The one who resonated with you the most, whose adventures and approach to life touched your heart in some fundamental way? Or is it the one whose costume includes celery?Chapters00:00 Introduction 02:47 Navigating Uncertainty in Fandom08:20 Exploring Favourite Doctors11:09 The Evolution of the Doctor's Character13:49 The Impact of Storytelling in Doctor Who16:32 Theatrical Elements in Doctor Who19:25 The Doctor's Core Qualities27:43 The Tragedy of the Ninth Doctor30:44 The Fifth Doctor's Subtlety31:54 The Comfort of the Doctor's Presence33:48 The Role of Companions35:55 Costume Design and Identity43:30 The Iconic Silhouette of the Doctor44:42 The Evolution of Doctor Who's Tone and Style47:44 Personal Connections to the Doctor50:31 The Impact of the 13th Doctor52:28 Fandom and the Doctor's Influence58:57 Visual Quality and Storytelling in Doctor Who01:01:06 The Importance of Change in Doctor WhoSupport the show Subscribe to Who Corner to Corner on your podcast app to make sure you don't miss an episode!
