Doctor Who: Flux full series podcast review
In the latest edition of our Doctor Who podcast, we take a look back over series 13 as a whole.
With series 13 now over, it’s time to have a look back at Doctor Who’s ambitious serialised run of episodes – in other words, let’s get to the crux of Flux.
In this week’s Radio Times Doctor Who podcast we give our full review for Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker’s final series, discuss a few lingering issues and take a look ahead at what’s next in the upcoming New Year’s Day special.

What else can I expect from episode 8?
Alongside our series 13 review we share the latest news about Who festive special Eve of the Daleks, its intriguing time loop storyline and new details about the slightly different breed of Dalek faced by Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, John Bishop, Adjani Salmon and Aisling Bea on January 1st.

“But in this episode we have an execution squad, armed with rapid-fire, multi-blast weapons that make them even deadlier than standard Daleks.
“This is the ultimate New Year’s countdown – while you’re stuck somewhere, with Daleks coming for you…”
Plus, we opt for a special festive edition of our regular Controversial Question of the Week, namely: Was the BBC right to cancel the Doctor Who Christmas special? The answer may surprise you…
