Two-minute Time Lord is a commentary podcast about the BBC's popular family science fiction program, Doctor Who, and its spinoffs. We'll try to keep this context in mind as we review episodes, comment on the news of the moment, and otherwise pontificate: Doctor Who is not FOR a fortysomething podcaster. It's for that nine-year-old behind the sofa. But his or her mum and dad have been invited along for the ride, as are those of us who were kids when Fifth Doctor Peter Davison first picked up a cricket bat.
And we will keep it to two minutes (roughly), because we are ALL in a hurry. Except when we have interviews.

2MTL 483: Hijinkx and Vibes
Finally, I catch up on "The Devil's Chord" and hold two opinions at once.

2MTL 482: With "Boom," Steven Moffat Enters His "Midnight" Era
"Pace and energy" and high concepts give way to a man with a foot on a landmine for the duration of the story. Tension-filled bottle episodes are rare for Doctor Who, although there are a lot of parallels between this one and 2009's "Midnight." How does Steven Moffat's return to Doctor Who fit with his showrunner's current experiment?

2MTL 481: The Space Babies Speedrun
"Would you like to see the baby?" Your answer probably had a lot to do with how you received "Space Babies," but the first-or-second episode of new Series 1 had a LOT to cram into a too-small container, and that was an issue as well.

2MTL 480: Doctor Who is Not Science Fiction
The first episodes of Series 1 (not counting the Christmas Special) have finally launched, and there's RTD upon RTD on top of more RTD in "Space Babies" and "The Devil's Chord." We'll look at these episodes individually soon, but going that hard was a gutsy, even necessary choice.

2MTL 479: Solid Gold?
In which your interlocutor admits that he wishes to hear less of a composer he loves.
A graphics whiz, Chip was not, when he shared this on social media years ago -
2MTL 478: Goblin Corps
After "The Church on Ruby Road," there should be no question that Ncuti Gatwa will master the role of The Doctor. However, we do need to address the fact that this is now a show with goblins and flying wooden ships....

This podcast is Great!
Chip, you are a treasure. You have some awesome insights that that I have never thought of. Just a quick note, I am an 11 Doctor girl, but I adore 10 as well, and I know you get grief for liking the End Of Time, but I love most of it. The Master is a little OTP, but other than that, there are some lovely and funny moments that shine through. Quotes like, “I think you look like giants”, and “Worst rescue ever” come to mind. I don’t care if there’s potions or whatever. I like to be entertained, and it certainly does that. Love the farewell tour, and like you said it’s so 10th Doctor. The only time I rolled my eyes was the long trek through the snow, lol. But back to the podcast. I’m enjoying your back catalogue and hope you continue to put out some new ones, whenever you get a chance. They’re wonderful!
Chip! Come back Chip!
2MTL hiatuses are best treated as somethings in the past. A yearning Doctor Who Nation needs you, Chip!
