Doctor Who: Gallifrey Public Radio

It 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.

Diving 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.

Bracing 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.

It 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.

Our 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.

We 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.

We 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.

The 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.

Hot 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.

Chris 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.

We'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."

They say you can't go back again...assuming you want to at all. Gwen, Jack, and Owen each take charge of caretaking an unexpected time traveler, coming to three very different ends.

Applying 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.

Skewering 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.

Gwen embroils herself in a ghost story where the spirit is the one haunted by the living, and the rest of the team effectively takes a week off.
