Posted on July 1, 2017 by

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 11: “World Enough and Time”

Posted on June 24, 2017 by

Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 7: “The Pyramid at the End of the World”

Posted on May 27, 2017 by

“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”

Posted on May 20, 2017 by

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”

Posted on April 15, 2017 by

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 →

Posted on December 25, 2015 by

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 →

Doctor Who – Series 9: Final Thoughts

Posted on December 6, 2015 by

If Series 8 was about the Twelfth Doctor settling into his freshly regenerated skin and establishing who he truly was as a man, Series 9 sees him much more comfortable and just getting on with life as a wandering Time … Continue reading →

Doctor Who – Series 9, Episode 12: “Hell Bent”

Posted on December 5, 2015 by

As I watched the introduction where the Doctor finds Clara in an American diner, I thought this would be the epilogue and the rest of the episode would be ‘how we got here’. Turmed out, it both was and wasn’t, … Continue reading →
