Classic Rewatch: Carnival of Monsters

Yes, we’ve been doing this podcast for well over five years. Yes, we’re all pretty positive, upbeat people who not only share enjoyment of the Doctor Who legacy, but enjoy each other’s company, as well. But no, we don’t always agree. In fact, in instances like this, we differ wildly. It’s okay, though. We’ll keep Jay around because he’s a genuinely good-hearted, intelligent, humorous guy. (Even if he would have no idea what a PRECIOUS GIFT of a classic story […]

Classic Rewatch: The Mutants

Kafka has nothing on the minds of Dave Martin and Bob Baker.

Classic Rewatch: Day of the Daleks

Five years without a go-round with your favourite sinister salt shakers is one heck of a dry spell. Shoehorning them into the middle of a temporal causality loop story rife with guerilla future freedom fighters, gorilla thuggees, and a Time Lord who’s been tipping into the wine cellar before attempting a mad dash on a fat-wheeled trike just pushes the whole thing into lunacy. (Sweet, delicious lunacy.) How could you possibly improve upon this sack full of angry cats? Why, […]

Katy Manning: Interview from L.I. Who 3

There are those you meet in your lifetime who are unquenchable positivists. There are some who are natural sources of energy. There are others still who are naturally loving, amiable spirits. Then there is Katy Manning: all these things and more. Recorded live from L.I. Who 3, the New York Doctor Who convention in November 2015, the GPR staff sits down for an extended session with the bright, brilliant, and instantly endearing talent who gave us “Jo Grant” from the Pertwee era […]
