Posted on January 4, 2020 by R.J. Southworth

(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 →

Doctor Who – Series 10, Episode 12: “The Doctor Falls”

Posted on July 1, 2017 by R.J. Southworth

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 May 20, 2017 by R.J. Southworth

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 R.J. Southworth

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 R.J. Southworth

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 →
