\u201cTrick or treat, Doctor\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, Whovians had a very Happy Halloween this year thanks to the return of Doctor Who<\/a>, which kicked off series 13 with an action-packed apocalyptic episode on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Now, our experts give their verdict on The Halloween Apocalypse in this week\u2019s episode of the Doctor Who podcast from RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, pick out their favourite moments and predict what we might see in the rest of this \u201cFlux\u201d miniseries.<\/p>\n

All that, plus we\u2019re joined for an interview by the Doctor herself, Jodie Whittaker, and have a special spooky monster-themed Controversial Question of the Week.<\/p>

What else can I expect from episode 1?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To kick things off we delve into some of the bigger Who news stories of the week, including the future of the TARDIS team post-Jodie Whittaker and what Mandip Gill thought of the return of Russell T Davies.<\/p>\n

Then, we catch up with Jodie Whittaker to see how she\u2019s feeling about her impending 2022 exit, what it was like working with new companion John Bishop and (more generally) what we can expect from Doctor Who: Flux.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suppose, really, I will be the Doctor until I am no longer on screen as the Doctor,\u201d she tells us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it is my last day of shooting, that will certainly feel as if a huge part of my life, in that sense, will be like, I suppose that chapter will be closing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Then, join us for our in-depth review of <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-series-13-episode-1-review\/"\">The Halloween Apocalypse<\/a>, featuring a brutal disagreement (Karvanista \u2013 brilliant or naff?), some unlikely theories (is Swarm a secret Time Lord?) and an explanation for why this episode was like space tapas.<\/p>\n<p>And if all that wasn\u2019t enough, we\u2019re also asking our Controversial Question of the Week \u2013 what is the least scary supposedly-scary Who monster?<\/p>\n<p><strong>When and where can I listen?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\""lazy"\" src=\""https:\/\/rtdrwho.podlink.to\/podcast?embed=true"\" width=\""480"\" height=\""900"\" frameborder=\""0"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Join Huw and Morgan on Mondays for their reaction to the latest episodes, behind-the-scenes interviews with cast and crew and the biggest discussions about Doctor Who\u2019s past, present and future.<\/p>\n<p>Next week, we\u2019ll be back to review The War of the Sontarans.
