Thin Ice is what’s covering the Thames in 1814 London, as there’s monsters underneath, waiting to swipe the population. Taking place within an old-style Victorian market and fayre on the ice, early on, Bill worries about accidentally changing the future, e.g. by stepping on a butterfly and causing her own demise, but The Doctor changes […]

Smile! It’s time another dire episode of Doctor Who! But it’s not all dreadful, because despite Nardole (Matt Lucas) turning up early to bumbles around again for no reason, he was quickly left at home as The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Bill (Pearl Mackie) headed off on an alleged adventure. Given the choice of going […]
The Pilot is the first new episode of the tenth ‘new Who’ series, and we already know that not only is this Peter Capaldi‘s final one, but also that the new assistant, Bill (Pearl Mackie), will only be in the Tardis for one series, so while I find her massively annoying from the trailers and […]
Peter Capaldi has announced he’s leaving Doctor Who in this year’s Christmas episode, but this will come as no surprise. Showrunner Steven Moffat, who showed such great promise with episodes like Blink, but he gave us the interminably dull Clara-boyfriend Danny Pink, then severely let us down with many a lacklustre episode, not least in […]

The Return of Doctor Mysterio presented me with a dilemma since there were no previews available for this episode, despite there having been so for last year’s Christmas special, so I figured either this one was beyond terrible (always a possibility with a Christmas episode), or there was something so life-changing within that the BBC […]

Until now, I didn’t know a whole heap else about her, other than the fact she appeared in the enjoyable British comedy Svengali, and also an episode of Doctors back in February 2014. I watch Doctors religiously, but the tertiary cast change on an […]

The Husbands Of River Song finds Peter Capaldi‘s Doctor back in upbeat mode having been inadvertently completely forget all about Clara Oswald following the events of the Series 9 finale. It’s Christmas Day 5343 and, for once, it’s actually snowing on Christmas Day. According to the Met Office, that is the next time we will […]

Hell Bent began with The Doctor entering a ’60 diner, with a cover of Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now playing on the jukebox, and Clara seemingly behind the counter. This made me think, “Oh come on, bringing Clara in a lot, after she died, is just taking the proverbial!” I was expecting her to return […]
The Husbands of River Song is the title of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special and, as you’d presume from the title – and you’d be right, Alex Kingston is back as River Song. Haven’t we had enough of her? I know I have, but we were promised (or threatened) one last episode featuring her […]

As always, the drama stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr John Watson. There’s […]
