Series 2
Series 2 introduced a new format, and mostly focused on TV story reactions and reviews, with guests coming on to talk about a given episode of serial of the show.

The Aftershow
With the start of series 10 of Doctor Who came a new format for The Fan Show. Doctor Who: The Fan Show - The Aftershow was a new series which released "Aftershows" immediately after an episode of Doctor Who was finished broadcasting in the UK.

Bringing in people who've actually worked on the show, rather than a variety of outsiders giving their reactions, The Aftershow was the closest series 10 got to a Doctor Who Confidential or Doctor Who Extra, the latter of which ended with series 9.

Series 4
Following the Aftershows, The Fan Show continued the panel format, beginning with an episode on LGBTQ in Doctor Who.
