The Greatest and Most Powerful duo to ever take on time and space!

"And with that, we're off! To find out what's going on! To find ourselves! To find stuff by accident in this vast, strange and wonderful universe! Onwards! Upwards! And whatever other direction this baby takes us! Gangway!!!"

Yet another entrant of bringing the Doctor to the magical land of My Little Pony… and the surprisingly expansive universe it hosts.

Doctor Whooves the Great is a radio play series created by Maravex, detailing the adventures of the great and powerful Trixie across time and space with her splendour and wit dazzling all! Oh, and there's some weirdo alien called the Doctor who helps out.

The first episode introduces our main duo as Trixie is performing in Appleloosa to an audience of… one, and re-evaluating her life. She wishes her life would change completely on a shooting star, but realises its in fact two shooting stars, one of them crashing to the earth below which in fact is a pony. This strange stallion is none other than the Doctor from another universe, and from there life is never the same again for the travelling magician, or for that matter this new arrival, having a whole new cosmos to explore and save.

Currently the series has 3 episodes and one special (created for the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who), as well as a handful of shorts.

Having Trixie, who was once an antagonist in MLP and in the series is still haunted by what she did, as the companion gives way to an arc thats as much about her redemption and growth as it is the Doctors story and adventures battling monsters and saving time itself. It has yet to be seen as to how it'll keep or differentiate from both show's canon.

  • Refusal of the Call: Trixie tries this, thinking she doesn't deserve the chance to go on such adventures. The Doctor manages to convince her otherwise.
