Edward Russell, former Doctor Who Brand Manager, joins us this week for an epic interview, giving us a deep-dive into the formative years of Doctor Who's 21st century revival!

  • Being a conductor between people working on DW
  • Smash Hits, Madonna and Kylie
  • Working with the BBC to manage one of their top brands
  • Fairly representing all Doctors
  • Appealing to a wide audience of fans
  • Putting out trailers during football games
  • Marketing discussions
  • Good DW merch and not so good merch
  • Doctor fame
  • The prospect of another cancellation
  • Working with David, Matt and Peter and their first meetings with Edward
  • Touring the country with Matt and Karen
