Camille Coduri: Interview from L.I. Who 3

Boisterous, outspoken, welcoming and warm, you can always tell when an actor is playing a role that comes from parts of their own persona — and Rose’s unforgettable mum is no exception. Recorded live from L.I. Who 3, the New York Doctor Who convention in November 2015, the GPR staff sits down for a few minutes (and a few laughs) with Camille Coduri, “Jackie Tyler” from the new series. https://media.blubrry.com/gallifreypublicradio/gallifreypublicradio.com/media.gallifreypublicradio.com/gpr161coduri.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedSubscribe: Apple Podcasts […]

Dan Starkey: Interview from L.I. Who 3

Dan Starkey had a moment to ponder what American television programs his repertoire of characters could make appearances in. Seconds later, he popped up excitedly: “The ‘Big Bang Theory’ would be wonderful. Strax and Sheldon Cooper would clash brilliantly.” He drops immediately into the Sontaran’s eloquent grumble. “I fail to see any demarcation on this seat indicating that it is, in fact, ‘your spot’, human filth.” Given only a few minutes to talk to Mr. Starkey on the opening day of […]

Wendy Padbury & Frazer Hines: Interview from L.I. Who 3

We refer to them as “The King and Queen of the New York Whovian Convention Circuit”, and they immediately poke at each other over who takes the role of queen. This is the sort of banter and humor that comes from nearly fifty years of friendship, and it’s all we can do to just sit back and enjoy their conversations. From the festivities at the third Long Island Doctor Who convention (L.I. Who 3), we were thrilled to chat once […]

Live from L.I. Who 3

“No changes are permanent / But change is.” Musician Neil Peart’s lyric from ‘Tom Sawyer’ may very well have been speaking of the Doctor Who program, a premise that, since the Troughton era, was built upon the idea of changes great and small. Recorded live from the Friday festivities at Long Island Doctor Who Con 3 (or L.I. Who 3, for short), we get a rare opportunity to chat directly with attending GPR listeners on the subject of intentional instability […]

An Inside Update on L.I. Who 3

Whether you believe your calendar or not, November is right around the corner. Here in the Whovian realm, that means the Long Island Doctor Who Convention, and the talented folks behind L.I. Who 3 are ramping up for the biggest DW-fandom convention in the northeast United States — perhaps the entire east coast — and this is only their third year hosting the event. In this special supplementary episode, Keir and Jay discuss the upcoming festivities with Andre Tessier, who handles press relations […]

Fan Expo Dallas 2015

This week, Keir and Jay take a backseat and make Haley do all of the heavy lifting as we listen to some of the great panels by Sylvester McCoy, Billie Piper, and Karen Gillan from Fan Expo Dallas. (It’s about time Haley pulled her weight, seriously. Sheesh.)

Does The Writer’s Room Need A Regeneration?

“We’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?” It’s the stories that bring us back week after week, year after year to the show about a mad man and his box, so the writers of those stories tend to fall under a lot of fire when those stories don’t meet our expectations. Are we as fans just being to critical? Or is it time to bring some fresh blood in with new stories to be […]

Live from Whofest 2

Okay, fess up. Who let the nerds out of the studio? This week, Haley and Jay surrounded themselves with the best kind of Texans: Whovian Texans. Whofest 2 in Dallas drew visits from none other than Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Terry Molloy, Nicholas Briggs, and Jason Haigh-Ellery to the southwest US, and the GPR team was there to embrace them (and in one fortunate fourth grader’s case, quite literally). Join us as we share some of the highlights and stories from the “bigger […]

Live from Gallifrey One: The 26 Seasons of Gallifrey One

Imagine — if you will — that your tireless crusade has been completed, and you have finally converted everyone to Whovianism. You walk down the street, and every living soul you cast your eyes upon is a Whovian. You can strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and discuss your favorite companion, series, villain, or storyline. You can enter a crowded room and shout, “I always take a banana to a party!” and everyone laughs, and knows precisely what you […]
