A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
From the superfans, to the casual viewer, to the brand-new to the program, there are challenges in keeping interest in the Doctor Who franchise strong during an indeterminate filming hiatus, and an ever-changing set of access points to aired content.
Tommy the thaw-and-refreeze soldier gets a first date with Tosh and one last swing at Owen before being asked to save Cardiff…and the world.
Season 17 had its peaks and valleys, and it’s rather unfortunate that the final story to Douglas Adams’ tenure as story editor (as well as a number of other ‘final moments’) was squarely in the middle of the plains.
The Doctor may have known Shakespeare, but our attempts to play a trivia game with Whovian Limericks would have the Bard seeking an unhealthy dose of retcon.
With the team now working more effectively and completely than any time in Season 1, we’re handed a rather overt, at times obvious investigation into a crime that could have led to more, but didn’t.
With an unusual foray into an intergalactic crime drama rather than a space mystery, Season 17’s fourth story installment leaves us a little unimpressed.
As a little bonus episode for our younger listeners, Keir is joined in the GPR studios by a 3-year old book critic to review the newest kids’ book publication from Pop Classics & Quirk Books.
Season 2 of Torchwood crashes in like a left hook, and even the return of fearless leader Jack can’t fully contain the shockwave that is Time Agent John Hart.
Our tin dog sounds a little off as we land on the jungle planet of Chloris in this Fourth and Romana story, but that’s not the only thing that feels odd.
We take a couple of turns around the studio table wondering what a complete Doctor Who story production would turn out like if the limitations and complications of stay-at-home did their worst. From DIY sets and sound effects, to last-minute recasting and other mishaps, it’s just the level of wonkiness that gets the ‘GPR slightly distorted stamp of approval’.
