391: Is Hugh Grant Doctor Who Number 14 & What Would Your MCU-Style Spin-offs Be?

This week's show is a bit shorter than usual, to let you find out what we think about the Hugh Grant Doctor Who rumour, and have some fun with some possible spin-off ideas. In case you had forgotten, Hugh Grant was approached to lead Doctor Who way back before Christopher Eccleston was cast. He had also appeared in Steven Moffat's Comic Relief special The Curse of Fatal Death as the final male incarnation of the Doctor. To discuss Hugh Grant's Doctor Who potential, Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley and James McLean, with a few ideas of his own. There is also some Mandalorian and Book of Fett talk, for the sensitive among you.
