Doctor Who – ‘Knock Knock’ Review

Doctor Who knocks it out of the park with yet another brilliant episode, reminiscent of Nu-Who highpoint ‘Blink’. Although instead of stone women we have… a wooden woman?!

Doctor Who – ‘Thin Ice’ Review

‘Thin Ice’ is Bill Potts’ first trip to the past. Centred around a 19th Century Frost Fair, The Doctor and Bill are swept up in a plot involving street urchins, rich businessmen, and an enormous sea creature living in the Thames. So just a normal day for the Doctor then.

Doctor Who – ‘Smile’ Review

‘Smile’ is this series’ required “companion goes to the future and sees that mankind was a bit shit” episode. But the episode doesn’t dwell on that.

Written by Frank Cotrell-Boyce, ‘Smile’ has some excellent character moments and a great sci-fi story.

Doctor Who – ‘The Pilot’ Review

Doctor Who is back! And that is a good thing, I promise you.

We have a new companion to meet and a familiar Doctor to become reacquainted with.

Doctor Who ‘Hell Bent’ Review

Never be cruel, and never be cowardly, and if you are, always make amends. In this episode the Doctor makes a joke after shooting someone, stating ‘We’re on Gallifrey! “Death” is Time Lord for “man flu”.’ Well it seems this is the thinking of Steven Moffat when it comes to his characters too. We all […]

Doctor Who ‘Heaven Sent’ Review

“Clara said; don’t take revenge. You should know I don’t always listen.” Well as experimental episodes go, this was certainly a step up from Sleep No More, and I was one of the rare few who liked that episode. Capaldi’s Doctor all by himself, alone in a big spooky castle with only a monster for company. You’d […]

Doctor Who ‘Face the Raven’ Review

“You’ll find that it’s a very small universe when I’m angry with you” And with that we say goodbye to another companion of The Doctor. Clara has gone and The Doctor is all alone, but was it a fitting goodbye? This episode also saw the return of Rigsy from ‘Flatline’ which could very well have […]

Doctor Who ‘Sleep No More’ Review

“You can’t fight them Doctor. There’s no point. They’re the future. A new life form. A better life form. It’s very clear to me now, they made me understand. And we’re to be their food.” Doctor Who tried something different this week, it went all Cloverfield on us. Upon hearing this you’d be forgiven if you were a […]

Doctor Who ‘The Zygon Inversion’ Review

“I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know. I did worse things than you could ever imagine, and when I close my eyes I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count!” Phew. That’s a relief. The second half of a very mixed Zygon story is thankfully much better. […]

Doctor Who ‘The Zygon Invasion’ Review

“Did you just call yourself Doctor Disco?” I’m not sure if you caught it. In this past episode there was the faintest hint of the very subtlest of symbolism. It probably went over most people’s heads. But guys I think the Doctor Who team is trying to say something on immigration and extremism. Perhaps. This episode […]
