Happy Pride Month! This week on The Says WHO Podcast, we're joined by the wonderful co-creators of Gallifrey Cabaret, Reece Connolly and Carrot, for a chat about the history of the project, and the importance and impact of LGBTQ+ characters, storylines and themes in Doctor Who.Gallifrey Cabaret is an unofficial queer-centred cabaret show, inspired by (and celebrating) the world of Doctor Who. Their shows often feature drag, burlesque, music, stand-up and circus performance, along with many a cheeky joke and a whole lot of heart (two of those actually...).Reece and Carrot performed the first show back in 2021, and later this month they will be celebrating Gally Cab's fifth birthday was a special show and event at London's Clapham Grand.

Tickets are running low but there are still a few left up for grabs (https://www.outsavvy.com/event/35266/the-gallifrey-cabaret-big-birthday-bash-the-clapham-grand#anchor).

They will also be touring in several cities around the UK later in the year, so keep your eye out for announcements on their socials/website soon!💬 Have you been to any Gallifrey Cabaret shows/events?

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the first Mission: Impossible movie, a movie franchise adapted from an iconic '60s TV series. Which got us thinking... What if a certain other iconic TV series that started in the '60s made the jump to the big screen?

To help us with this little thought experiment, we've recruited the lovely Josh Carr of the Who Knew? podcast! So sit back, relax, and get the popcorn out, as we take a trip to the Who-vies.
