G'day you lot!

Hope all is well! Here's what's surging down the RoD pipeline over the next month!

Results have been pouring in for the Whittaker Era Poll - well over 1000 already! It would be great to get as much data as possible, so if you guys are part of any Doctor Who Facebook pages or Discord groups,it would be amazing if you could share the link there: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RoDWhittakerEraPoll

Plans have shifted a bit in the last week in light of all that 'The Power of the Doctor' news dropping in DWM. Matt nixed the 'Plastic Treachery' commentary for general release and we decided to make it Patreon exclusive (for a short time anyway - it may become a public episode at some point in the future), so Ep35 will instead be a preview of the Centenary Special twinned with a bonus Trivia Challenge where we go head-to-head over our Doctor Who knowledge.

We were approached to promote Beth Axford's new unofficial DW quiz book. We loved the idea of supporting a fellow fan doing cool things and fancied doing something a little different. We'll be giving copies away on the show, including one held back for you lovely lot, so I'll do a separate post promoting that in the next week or so.

In case you didn't catch it on socials, there's a public Spotify playlist you and download and stream right now of every UK No 1 single for every episode we've reviewed so far (excluding Xmas No 1s, primarily to get rid of Ladbaby's Sausage Roll song with Ed Sheeran and Elton John which might be the worst record ever made).

With no date for the Centenary Special yet, it's difficult to work out exactly which episodes are coming out in which order at the moment, but we know the BBC's Centenary programming week ends on the 22nd/23rd October, so with that in mind, here's the month ahead for RoD!
