2MTL 351: The Gallery of the Cleverdumb

The Two-minute Time Lord Podcast will have no truck with the "so bad it's good" notion. Instead, we celebrate the notion of "cleverdumb" storytelling: meticulous in certain aspects, and gleefully and purposefully washing its hands of others. Exhibit A: the US series Leverage. Exhibits that follow: certain episodes of our favorite family sci-fi drama–but why are there so few "cleverdumb" Doctor Whos? (One guess who inspired the title for this podcast.)

Om Podcasten

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.
