·37 min·3 clips

What Doctor Who merchandise would make you say 'take all my money' right now?

The episode begins with the hosts introducing the concept of 'wish tat'—items or services they wish existed for Doctor Who fans, inspired by recent merchandise releases like action figures. Tansy starts by envisioning a futuristic 'click-to-buy' feature for streaming services, allowing viewers to purchase exact replicas of clothing seen on screen, with her first pick being Romana's hat from 'Androids of Tara'. Kat adds that she would buy Jodie Whittaker's outfit as the Thirteenth Doctor or the Eighth Doctor's attire from 'The Night of the Doctor'. Deb reveals her wish for a Jo Grant Polly Pocket set, complete with tiny outfits and accessories, sparking a discussion about expanding it to other companions like Sarah Jane and the Brigadier. Tansy then suggests graphic novel adaptations of lost Doctor Who stories, such as 'Marco Polo' or 'The Daleks' Master Plan'. Kat proposes a TARDIS-shaped soundproof booth for podcasters, dubbed the 'Podcaster's TARDIS Sound Booth'. Deb advocates for a dedicated Doctor Who streaming service that consolidates all episodes, extras, commentaries, and interviews in one region-free platform, with features like pop-up Easter eggs linking to classic references. Tansy returns to wish for a high-quality, epic Doctor Who board game beyond simple reskins like Monopoly, similar to Talisman. Kat mentions wanting functional sonic screwdrivers and vortex manipulators, then shifts to practical merchandise like stealth cosplay backpacks and Doctor Who Squishmallows—soft, affordable stuffed animals in chibi designs. The episode concludes with the hosts inviting listeners to share their own wishlist items and cautioning against ordering people online. Throughout, the tone is lighthearted and speculative, blending fandom enthusiasm with creative consumer ideas.
