It's the conclusion of Doctor Who: Flux and the Three Who Rule stayed up late (but not as late as the brave and valiant livestream viewers!) to hash out what they liked, what they didn't, and what baffled and confused them as Series 13 reached the end of its six-part saga with "The Vanquishers". But there's more to come as "Eve of the Daleks" is headed our way on New Year's Day and..well, that's it until Easter! Between the very new Flux discussion and the near endless pondering during the Timelash about 625-line video and the animated fate of "The Feast of Steven", we managed to eke out almost two hours of quality banter, so we hope you like it!

It's time for the Three Who Rule to analyze Doctor Who: Flux – Chapter Five: "Survivors of the Flux", a veritable casserole of content featuring a multitude of planets, times, Time, Swarm, Azure, more cranky tunnel building, and globe-spanning pottery quests. Did it measure up to last week's Weeping Angel nail-biter? And what treats yet lay in store for us when Flux concludes next week? More to the point, we have statistical ploddings and historical wanderings to amuse you with along with news, views and other things you can peruse!

Our long international nightmare is over, sort of, as we finally have an airdate for the premiere of Doctor Who: Flux of Halloween night (in the UK) though a new trailer remains elusive. What is omnipresent is our (mostly Steven's) utter rage at the BBC's marketing "efforts" for the new series as all social media was deleted and then reinstated for…reasons? Besides invective and suspicion we also have musings on the past via the Timelash, Season 17 gets The Collection Blu-ray treatment, and the second and concluding part of our Classic Series Commentary for "The Edge of Destruction"!

It's been a week since the surprise announcement that Russell T Davies is returning to our favourite televisual drama, and yet there is nothing in the way of Series 13 teasing to satiate our base desires for more Who. Nothing, that is, except the Three Who Rule discussing a whole slew of action dollies, nostalgic remembrances via The Timelash, slagging off Canadian TV as is tradition, and a riveting commentary on Part the First of 1964's bottle episode(s) psychodrama "The Edge of Destruction"!
