Dracula: If It’s Not Going To Be Faithful, At Least Make It Fun
(Spoilers) When watching the BBC’s most recent literary adaptations – The War of the Worlds, His Dark Materials and A Christmas Carol – I couldn’t help but compare them to the original source material. His Dark Materials was the most … Continue reading

“I really love the fact that we’re still getting this level of quality from Doctor Who, nine series and more than ten years since its revival. Hopefully this shows that it still has plenty of momentum and will just keep … Continue reading

Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 12: “The Doctor Falls”
The beginning of this episode left me thinking wistfully of a time when Doctor Who cliffhangers actually followed directly on from when the previous episode ended. We finally get the Two Masters concept used in full, and it’s really great. … Continue reading

Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 7: “The Pyramid at the End of the World”
“I wouldn’t have voted for him. He’s orange.” Managing a jab at Trump without it actually sounding political and thereby offending people – nicely done. At first, the cuts back-and-forth to the agrofuel facility are just as distracting as the … Continue reading
Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 6: “Extremis”
Well, I wasn’t expecting Missy to turn up so quickly in this episode. And it’s Missy in the vault, too? I wasn’t expecting that reveal mid-season, either. Should have known this episode was written by Steven Moffat, with that execution … Continue reading

Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 1: “The Pilot”
Finally, a new series of Doctor Who has begun! I’d almost forgotten the feeling. The Doctor has a picture of Susan on his desk! I’d have been happier if they didn’t keep focussing on it though. So why does the … Continue reading

Doctor Who Christmas Special 2015 – “The Husbands of River Song”
Merry Christmas, everybody! This year, I found myself getting a few presents that I wasn’t expecting but was particularly happy to actually have when I unwrapped them, such as a tool kit, and a Dad’s Army DVD boxset. It’s nice when … Continue reading
