A Positive Podcast About Doctor Who
With a random noun generator at our fingertips, and just the right amount of competitive motivation to spur the creative mind, we attempt a game that takes seemingly innocuous objects, and bestows them with supreme Time Lord powers…of some sort. The usefulness of that power is entirely subjective.
Trying out a new little game-activity, we go the old school yearbook route, and pick the “the best at”, “the worst of”, “the most likely to do (such-and-such)”. Is it juvenile and ridiculous? Of course it is. Do you expect anything better from us? Yikes, we should hope not.
Because it’s out of character for us to want to see good things go wrong, we make a game of wondering what combinations of Doctors and companions would make for the most disastrous adventures.
We may still be quite some time away from the nebulous time of “Autumn” and this new series of Doctor Who that keeps getting dangled in front of us like the proverbial carrot, but the team at Tiny Rebel Games is taking on the noble work of keeping us covered with new content. What’s more, they’re giving us just the right distraction to keep us from fully realizing how mind-dumbing our jobs are, how long the train commute is, and […]
Just sit right back, and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a big blue box That left you and your Time Lord mate abandoned on the rocks. No rescuers will come to aid, no hope of being found You’re on your own, so make the best of what you find around. Your cohort is a little mad, you’ve known that for a while, But which face does the Doctor wear beside you on the isle? This week, the GPR trio […]
As expected, the weekend spent in Long Island with a few thousand good-natured and excitable Whovians was a whirlwind of laughter, surprises, fascination, and even dancing (yes, that was Barnaby Edwards leading what could only be described as “The Dance Floor Revolution of the Daleks”). Through it all, GPR opted to keep spirits up and minds confused, with a series of game show panels designed to entertain and amuse. We sincerely hope we met our self-appointed challenge. This week, we […]
There’s only one place where you’ll see the most fantastic costumes, outlandish characters, unbelievable exploits, manic emotional upheaval, and tumultuous conflicts — Camden, New Jersey! No, wait. Broadway? Getting closer, in a non-geophysical location sense — GALLIFREY! This week, joined by Andy Hicks of the Coal Hill A/V Club, we destroy some perfectly nice, quiet down time by wondering what Doctor Who would be like if characters suddenly broke into song. Much like episodes of “The Monkees”, “Galavant”, or the […]
Joined by a few in-studio friends, we fill our glasses and provide a less-than-professional commentary to the 1996 Doctor Who “pilot” movie.
You may choose to point a finger in any number of directions to pin blame for the “Wilderness Years” when Doctor Who left the air. The 1996 tele-film was in many ways an attempt to bring the program to a new American audience, but for whatever reasons one may choose to apply, it was not the overwhelming success we may have hoped. Do producers in the United States have a particular and unique gift for wanting to boost program concepts from other […]
All you wanted was a simple trip down to the ground floor, to grab a fresh cuppa from the fairly trustworthy cafe before dashing back up to your hotel room. Little did you know that when the doors closed, you’d find yourself next to none other than the head of programming for [insert really hip television network here]! Brain reeling, you see this as your big chance to lay out your ideas for that program that you’ve always wanted — but you […]
