The Battle For Billy Bollocks…, I mean, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos, is the series finale for Doctor Who Series 11, and before The Doctor and the Scooby Doo gang appear, the episode begins with some otherworldy nonsense where, 3407 years ago, a being landed just as two of the inhabitants – from a […]
Care is a new Jimmy McGovern drama which, for me, has come at a depressingly poignant time. We know that strokes can hit someone – mostly in their later years, but sometimes also in a person’s younger years. It does not discriminate. For Mary (Alison Steadman), it’s today, and it’s just about to happen, while […]

It Takes You Away is the ninth – and penultimate – episode of Doctor Who Series 11, and it took the Doctor and the Scooby Doo gang away to spooky house in a forest in Norway (not Norway), in which something has taken Hanne’s father away… While the owner of the house was out and […]
Death and Nightingales is a new three-part drama, based on a novel, but adapted by the same team who brought us The Fall… which I’ve never seen, but they’ve also given us Jamie Dornan who was in that, as well as the laughably-terrible Fifty Shades Of Grey movies. I’ve never seen The Fall, as I […]

The Witchfinders, is the eighth episode of Doctor Who Series 11, and it finds the Scooby Doo gang back in the times of King James I (Alan Cumming). The words “Mr Savage demands your presence” stops a happy party with apple bobbing, and starts giving a vibe more creepy than Harvey Weinstein. Dom RobinsonReviewer of […]

Kerblam, is the seventh episode of Doctor Who Series 11, and the title comes into play as it’s the Amazon of the Who Universe because it’s the bigger shopping retailer around – not that you’d ever get a company who has a name that sounds like the explosion of a bomb. The company was first […]
