Showrunner For A Day
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 14 secondsAsk any Whovian how, if given the chance, they would make changes or alterations in the course of Doctor Who, and every last one of us would begin on a litany of hypothetical ‘tweaks’ without much hesitation. Whovians are by every definition of ‘fanaticism’ rather passionate about the program they adore, and like any proud family member, want to see if thrive and succeed in even greater ways than it already does. But would an episode appearance of K-9 being voiced by Gilbert Gottfried really add to the show’s […]

Osgone, But I’m Back Now!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 54 minutes and 35 secondsIt was suddenly announced by the BBC that Ingrid Oliver will be returning to Doctor Who wearing a certain (shall we say, familiar?) character costume, in a Series 9 story that also happens to feature the shape-shifting Zygons. This has led to Whovians the world over simultaneously grinning, and scratching their heads in confusion. This week, we pull the emergency brake to discuss the surprising news of this apparent — or alleged — return of fan favorite Osgood, and how this reappearance could impact […]

Does The Writer’s Room Need A Regeneration?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 53 seconds“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 […]

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 23 secondsOkay, 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 […]

The GPR Listener Favorites
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 35 secondsThere’s a saying from a spandexed superhero that with great power comes great . . . something or other. This could mean a number of things, most of which don’t apply to us because we’re geeks in a room that smells … Continue reading

The GPR Listener Favorites
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 35 secondsThere’s a popular saying from a certain spandexed superhero that ‘with great power, comes great…’ something or other. This could mean a wide number of things, most of which don’t necessarily apply to us, being a trio of geeks with a few microphones and a love for British science fiction, seated around a studio that smells faintly of strange cheese and cat fur. But we do understand one facet of that interpretation, being the need to involve those whom we serve (in our own […]

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 42 secondsA planet-sized library. 4,022 missing people. Hive-minded swarms of shadow piranhas. A team of futuristic archeologists in peril. And among them, one enigmatic professor with a greater knowledge of events than she reasonably should. Need we say more? It doesn’t take a genius to see why Haley made these episodes her choice for the GPR “Our Favorites” arc. The iconic introduction of River, Donna in full force, the Tenth Doctor’s hair, and of course, the bone-scattering Vashta Nerada. This two-part whirlwind from Steven […]

Our Favorites: The Girl in the Fireplace
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 20 secondsWhat happens when you combine David Tennant’s full-tilt portrayal of the boyish, madcap Doctor, Steven Moffat’s ability to create emotionally compelling tales, pre-revolutionary France, organ-harvesting clockwork droids from 3,000 years in the future, and the incredibly lovely Sofia Myles? Clearly, you result in one of the first “modern classic” episodes of post-2005 Doctor Who. This week, our appreciation of personal favorite stories allows Jay to share his episode selection, “The Girl in the Fireplace”. As a great stand-alone episode, and a perfect sample […]

Our Favorites: City of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 4 secondsAsk any classic Whovian what stories they simply must watch, and “City of Death” will likely be one of the first answers given — often without a moment’s hesitation.

When Dark Eyes are Smiling
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 47 minutes and 2 secondsIt’s no secret to anyone who has listened to GPR for any length of time that we are tremendous fans of the audio productions that emerge from the Big Finish studios. They bring the classic era to life over and over again in artistic and magical ways, expanding upon the Whovian universe and allowing established televised characters (Doctors and Companions alike) to flourish and grow beyond their time on screen. But where we feel they truly stand out (and this may […]

The No-Longer-Impossible Girl
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 2 secondsWhen she first appeared unexpectedly in “Asylum of the Daleks”, we were all shocked and left unable to form a proper opinion. When she then returned (in another form) in “The Snowmen”, we fell in love, only to mourn her inexplicable death. And when ‘Clara Prime’ finally joined us in “The Bells of St. John,” we reached the point of wondering what the hell was really going on. Now that we’re on the other side of a character-driven and well-structured Series 8, and we have a fully realized […]

The Return of…
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 30 secondsThe BBC has confirmed that both Missy and Kate Stewart will both be returning for Series 9, and this got us wondering; who else might we see return? More accurately stated, who is most likely to return in the season ahead? Then of course, being the rabid fanatics we are, we descend quickly into postulating who should-would-could-ought-to, and…well, you get the idea. This week, we start by putting concerted effort into predicting those characters who would make the most sense […]

A Genuine TARDIS-Shaped Podcast
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 5 secondsWe’ve all seen some truly brilliant marketing tie-ins for television programming, like a gesture-based Harry Potter wand remote control, or a Walking Dead edition of Zombie Dice. But sometimes the connection is a little less conspicuous. (What the hell does Spider-Man have to do with the United States Postal Service, anyway?) With the tremendous upswing in the popularity of Doctor Who, it seems everyone wants a turn at milking the cash cow. But when is that line crossed? This week, we […]

The People v. Steven Moffat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes and 15 secondsTo paraphrase the great Benjamin Franklin, it is the first responsibility of every fan to question the showrunner. But Whovians have taken this axiom to a whole new level. There’s no way to be a fan of Doctor Who on … Continue reading

The People v. Steven Moffat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes and 15 secondsTo draw a quote from the great Benjamin Franklin and throw it into an entirely unfamiliar context, it is the first responsibility of every [fan] to question [the showrunner]. We as Whovians, however, may have taken this axiom to a whole new level. There’s no way to be a fan of Doctor Who with access to the Internet, and not hear (at best) the lamentations of how Stephen Moffat is ruining the show in often completely contradictory ways, or (at worst) the cries for his curly head […]

But Enough About Us…
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 47 secondsThere are moments when we like to take pause, and hand the proverbial microphone to our listeners, allowing them to steer the conversation, share their opinions, and tell us all the many, many ways that we are flatly wrong. This time around, we opened Pandora’s Box in the attempt to find what everyone outside the GPR studios thought of Doctor Who Series 8 in our online poll (still open, by the way!), and the response was staggering. In fact, we received so much great feedback […]
