At last, at last, Doctor Who returns to the airwaves regularly for the first time since December 2015! The long wait is over. We finally get to see Peter Capaldi kick off his last season playing the Doctor. We also start to find out what Steven Moffat has in store for his sixth and final tour through the Doctor Who universe. To top it off, we are introduced to new companion Bill Potts, played by Pearl Mackie. The result is fairly wonderful introduction to a textured new companion, told with a grace and charm that highlights the strengths of the show.

It seems that some time has passed since we last saw The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Nardole (Matt Lucas)… On Earth, the Time Lord has become a popular lecturer at a university, where he meets Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) – and a danger emerges as we come across a woman with a star in her eye…

During our ONE HUNDREDTH episode of the TARDISblend podcast, we dive into the beginning of the new Doctor Who season, begin our speculations as to where the overarching plot may be moving, and discuss the new faces we come across in the Season 10 premiere.
