    Mar 17 2025

    On this episode, we discuss the latest news for series 15, from exciting casting to a mysterious trailer to David's novel novel theories. We also offer wild speculation, which contrary to popular belief, isn't news.


    How excited are we for Juno Dawson? What colour do associate with the Black Guardian? Is that a big robot Anansi? How did Alan Cumming get deported? Will the next series have a darker tone? Are Rylan's teeth a weapon? Okay but is Mrs Flood the Rani or not? Answers to these questions, and more in this episode.
