I was looking around online for an update list of the commentaries available for modern Who having discovered the original podcast commentaries were still available hidden away on the BBC website. For the ones on DVD, the contributors weren’t listed in the booklet. To make things easier for me I decided to write up who’s on them and with links to the podcasts and iPlayer commentaries to make things easier.
