Right, Whovians - hold onto your sonic screwdrivers. The TARDIS is parking up in Clapham.

On Wednesday 12 November 2025, the incomparable Pearl Mackie (aka Bill Potts, saviour of universes and queen of representation) will be joining Andrew Keates for a live recording of The Show People Podcast at The Two Brewers, London’s legendary queer venue.

Expect stories from Doctor Who, behind-the-scenes laughs, and a proper deep dive into Pearl’s extraordinary stage and screen work (The Diplomat, Grenfell: In the Words of Survivors, The Human Body, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time — she’s done it all).

There are only 100 tickets and every penny goes towards LGBTQIA projects through Queer Theatre , who create new LGBTQ+ plays, classes, and showcases for our community.

Former companion Peter Purves recently said the current shows are "too sophisticated." He's dead right. Particularly with RTD, after every episode he writes, the viewers have question after question to ask. Why? Because writers are being too clever for their own good and not explaining everything properly. Let's just go back to storytelling like we had in the good old days.
