Classic Rewatch: The Horns of Nimon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 7 secondsSeason 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.
-
Galactic Poetry Slam
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 28 minutes and 13 secondsThe 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.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Sleeper (S2E2)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 31 minutes and 4 secondsWith 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.
-
Classic Rewatch: Nightmare of Eden
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 36 minutes and 40 secondsWith an unusual foray into an intergalactic crime drama rather than a space mystery, Season 17's fourth story installment leaves us a little unimpressed.
-
The Runaway TARDIS (Pop Classics)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes and 14 secondsAs 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.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Kiss Kiss, Bang, Bang (S2E1)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 8 secondsSeason 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.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Creature From the Pit
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 30 secondsOur 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.
-
Quarantine Productions
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 54 secondsWe 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'.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: End of Days (S1E13)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 8 secondsWhen a few of our Torchwood Hub 3 team declare mutiny over their dear Captain in the Season 1 finale, sunny happy Cardiff pays the price in the form of really unpleasant overcast skies.gpr381
-
Classic Rewatch: City of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 58 secondsWith a bottle of wine, a chicken egg, a clenched fist, and a famous painting of a nonplussed Italian noblewoman, we head to Paris for what is undoubtedly our favorite classic era story. From the 'we can't believe it was written this quickly' backstory, to the snappy and smart Douglas Adams dialogue, to the over-the-top but still delightful performances, we agree that the only thing we'd want to change about it is the duration. We'd want more.
-
The Rumor Mill
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 26 minutes and 46 secondsGiven a randomly drawn set of heroes, adversaries, and locations, we play a few rounds of creating off-the-cuff episode synopses that -- while possibly ridiculous -- have some definite 'watchability'.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Captain Jack Harkness (S1E12)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 8 secondsThe Cardiff Rift gets uppity, courtesy of a mysterious cravat-sporting caretaker with a penchant for Polaroids and time-tinkering, taking Jack and Tosh to 1941 and a very awkward military meet-up.
-
Classic Rewatch: Destiny of the Daleks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 4 secondsWith equal parts psychopathy and sarcasm, we drill into Season 17 with Terry Nation's final story contribution to Doctor Who, and the full-time arrival of Lalla Ward as Romana.
-
Fire, Retire, Admire
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 15 secondsIt's game night in the GPR studio, and we're taking trio of Doctor Who characters to decide who stays, who goes, and who gets burned from the record.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Combat (S1E11)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 35 secondsWe step into the ring with guest Julie this week, returning at long last to our Torchwood progress to discuss Noel Clarke's contribution to the first season. (Yes, THAT Noel Clarke.)
-

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 31 secondsOur good friend Drew from "Who and Company" joins us to finish assembly of the Key to Time, and wrap up the sixteenth season of Doctor Who.
-
Series 12 In Review
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 28 secondsIt wasn't anything like what we expected, and even less what we predicted, but with Series 12 now behind us we reflect on the wild ten-week ride we just experienced.
-
The Timeless Children
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 3 secondsDiving in with more unanswered questions than we thought was physically safe to carry, we throw caution to the wind and absorb the finale of the twelfth modern season.
-
Ascension of the Cybermen
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 13 secondsBracing ourselves for a tumbling, screeching, the-brakes-are-out ride into the final story arc of the season, we're given even more questions to add to the existing pile, with little time left for answers.
-
The Haunting of Villa Diodati
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 12 secondsIt may not be technically adjoined to the finale two-parter to follow, but this Thirteenth Doctor 'ghost story' has so much to offer in terms of immediate enjoyment and future consideration, it feels like more than the forty-nine minute runtime could realistically contain.
-
Can You Hear Me?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 26 secondsOur GPR team is somewhat divided on the seventh Series 12 episode, both in how it lands as a science fiction story, and how it incorporates the concerns of mental health.
-
Praxeus
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 19 secondsWe dissect the sixth episode of Series 12, and find that there's a time and a place for a proper "breather episode" amidst all the uproar.
-
Fugitive of the Judoon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 52 secondsWe prepared ourselves for a good old mercenary adventure, with equal parts humorous wordplay and brutish thuggery. The surprises we were thrown left us gasping for air and grasping for comprehension.
-
Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 22 secondsThe 19th Century "Current War" battles for top billing with a malevolent alien invasion as the most entertaining conflict in the fourth episode of Series 12.
-
Orphan 55
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 54 minutes and 5 secondsHot on the heels of a wild series opening salvo, we knew we'd have a change of pace going into the third episode. The building blocks of a great story are there, but we're not sold on the execution.
-
Spyfall, Part Two
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 39 secondsChris Chibnall doubles down on the intensity for the conclusion of his Series 12 opening story, and it definitely takes its toll on us as viewers. Some things thrill, others shock, and if we're being completely honest, some things outright offend.
-
Spyfall, Part One
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 30 secondsWe're rocked back on our heels with the Series 12 opener, getting a storyline we love, questions that challenge us, concerns for characters, and...THAT moment. "Hi."

-
Worthwhile: The Curse of the Black Spot
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 32 secondsApplying our typical "silver linings" perspective as we do to nearly all Doctor Who content, we begin a positive look at maligned post-2005 episodes with a hapless crew becalmed at sea.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Power of Kroll
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 9 secondsSkewering the fifth segment of the Key to Time on a lance like seafood on a kebab, the Doctor and Romana find some very familiar struggles for power on a swamp moon.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Random Shoes (S1E9)

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 50 secondsThe official "Doctor Who Day" of 2019 brought us something we've been hoping to see on our holiday table for months, now: an action-packed trailer for the new series complete with guest appearances, adversaries old and new, famous historical figures, car chases, and plenty of explosions.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Androids of Tara
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 53 secondsPointing a few hands' worth of fingers at various impostors (both organic and cybernetic), the Doctor and Romana get waylaid by a problematic regency dispute while making off with the fourth piece of the Key to Time.
-
Oh Come On, You Can Tell Us

-
Torchwood Rewatch: They Keep Killing Suzie (S1E8)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 33 minutes and 7 secondsSporting a "risen mitten" and a "life knife", the Torchwood team revives a traitor from their past to do...well, exactly what you'd expect a traitor to do: betray.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Stones of Blood
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 13 secondsThe Fourth Doctor and Romana get far more than they bargained for in the pursuit of the third segment of the Key to Time: namely, a court-ordered execution.
-
Two Whos and a Lie: The Rumor Mill
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 21 secondsIn a new adaptation of our bluffing-based "Two Whos and a Lie" game, we try and stump one another by hiding a complete falsehood among a trio of Doctor Who rumors past and present. It proves a lot more challenging that we expected to suss out the culprit.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Greeks Bearing Gifts (S1E7)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 27 minutes and 57 secondsWhen writer Toby Whithouse gives us a story that finally centers around Tosh, we should know better than to expect a 'very special episode' where things turn out lovely.

Classic Rewatch: The Pirate Planet

And Now a Word From Our Sponsors

-
Torchwood Rewatch: Countrycide (S1E6)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 31 secondsWhen the Torchwood team heads to the country, the storytelling takes a notably dark and distressing turn. Oddly enough, we're all really happy to see it happen.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Ribos Operation

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 39 secondsWith Keir out of town on official (cough cough -- DragonCon -- cough cough) business, Jay and Haley set out to prove that they're perfectly capable of playing a Whovian trivia game.

We discuss the unexpected nature of this "Agnew"-penned season closer, the ever-changing nature of the conflict that helps maintain interest through a six-part story, and the unusual performances of Baker and Jameson, given the timing of the production.
-
The Thingamajig of the Daleks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 21 secondsPower, Genesis, Asylum, Master Plan, Invasion...five decades of Dalek mayhem launches a lot of schemes for ultimate domination. What if we took a random term like "the marriage of", and extracted a Dalek plot from it?
