Let's get FLUXED! We're back in the library (right next to the bar) of a beachside B&B in blistering hot Dorset for Part 2 of our EPIC chat with former Doctor Who showrunner and creator of the 13th Doctor, CHRIS CHIBNALL!

Juiced up on tea, coffee, Coke Zero and water (for Paul because he's sensible) we dive right into the challenges of creating Doctor Who during a pandemic, and for the first time in a public interview Chris talks in great depth about the creation and production of Series 13: Flux.

Just how close did we come to having no Doctor Who at all during Covid?
The behind the scenes story of Flux is an adventure almost as incredible as what we saw on screen.

But that's not all!
Despite the encroaching heat (and occasional tinkle of glasses and muzak from the bar next door) we also find time to cover plenty more worthy topics of dicsussion and debate, including:

More MYRKA!
Chris's favourite Classic Season of Who
The original plan for Season 13 pre-pandemic
Steven Moffatt's text to Chris during Flux
Getting SWARM wrong...
'Thasmin' and what the Doctor and Yaz's relationship journey means to so many fans
The Dalek episode we didn't get and the one we did get
What did Dan and Yaz do after the Power of the Doctor...

PLUS: we put Chris in the hot seat (literally) and subject him to a game of The Grand Serpent's Asteroid!

We hope you enjoy listening to our interview as much as we did recording it. Chris was incredibly generous with his time and his insight, and yet, after spending the whole afternoon with him, it felt as though there was still so much more that the fans wanted answers to.

So ... with that in mind...
