In early November 2025, the veteran character actor, arguably most famous Time Lord of the all, Tom Baker was formally honoured by the Crown with an MBE for Services to Television. With a small number of friends and colleagues in attendance... One of whom was photographer Oliver McNeil.

Oliver's quite the character himself; a trusted personal friend and sometime creative collaborator of the Fourth Doctor legend. He joins us for this exclusive interview with regular Dan Hadley.

Their conversation covers not only Tom Baker's investiture itself, but their long friendship and Oliver's own extraordinary creative range. Enhanced with his own captivating photography for this video edition of our long-running Doctor Who Podcast on the Fandom Podcast Network HERE:

Episode 158: The Great Deflector

Doctor Who: the world’s longest running, best loved Science Fiction and fantasy TV series – is on “Pause”. Following a disastrous relaunch co-production between BBC Studios, Bad Wolf Studios and Disney+ a little more than 18 months ago…

What’s gone wrong?

Why?

Who’s to blame? That’s all up for debate! In the short term, all eyes and ears are on still present showrunner and head writer Russell T Davies. The Type 40 roundtable of Time Agents have gathered to process two interviews RTD has given, in recent weeks. For any indication as to where things are at with the Time Lord. Our discussion was recorded as live with regular host Dan Hadley taking comments from multiple platforms, back in the cloister room. You can listen in HERE now:

The State of 2025 with Ken Deep For Doctor Who Podcast Day 2025

To mark the 20th birthday of Doctor Who podcasting itself, one of the voices of that historic show, Podshock joins regular host Dan Hadley for this long form conversation. Exploring where the Doctor Who series and it's fandom find themselves, in the wake of that ending to yet another Doctor's tenure in the TARDIS...

Ken Deep is a writer, convention organiser and educator who's well known and respected within the Doctor Who community. He's returned to our own podcast for this candid, no holds barred airing of differences! As well as to explore so, so much common ground: that which brings us all together, either behind the mic's or hitting play? Doctor Who. Oh and Doctor Who podcasting itself, of course!

All's far from harmonious, out there in the Whoniverse. With everyone or anyone who knows anything at all, being tight-lipped! No danger of that on this special Doctor Who Podcast Day episode of Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast. Now entering our 8th year of reviews, previews, interviews, geek outs and deep dives.
