Hello and happy new year! Welcome to the first Popular Table of the year.

This week, Sam, Victoria, Ibtisam, and David discuss what they got for Christmas (spoiler alert: Sam got socks), and review the Doctor Who Christmas Special:

They then move on to ask, 'are superhero and popcorn films overlooked at awards ceremonies?':

Continuing with the theme of awards ceremonies, Ibtisam looks at how certain awards ceremonies can be used as a platform to raise awareness of social issues. This is the first in what will be a regular segment:

Hello! The podcast for this week's show (09/11/2014) is finally up.

In the first part of the show, Emma, Dawn, and David discuss their favourite comedy films and ask 'are superhero films damaging the movie industry?'

In the second part, our jolly gang of misfits give a brief overview of Doctor Who, series 8. Is it worth the watch?

In the third and final part of the show, the crew look at the recent John Lewis Christmas video, and see how it compares to other forms of advertising.

See you next week!

This Saturday we are going to be discussing the new Doctor Who movie that is in the pipelines (I admit it's a bit of an excuse to discuss Matt Smith again... we are not obsessed!). However we can't do this alone, oh no, we want your opinions as well! Leave your comments below this blog and we might just give you a mention live on air!

Do you think there will be a new Doctor in the film? Do you think they should bring back one of the other Doctors to do it (it's Doctor Who, there is no such thing as a timeline and they cross lives anyways). What do you think? Who do you want to be the 12th Doctor?

All 11 Doctor Who

Also in case you're a recent Whovian and haven't seen any of the classic series, here is an audio clip of all 11 Doctors with their catchphrases (or them just speaking if they don't have a catchphrase)

See you Saturday!
