• Who goes Scare? – A tale of Fingers, Fear, felons and Fam…

    The Doctor drops off her companions in modern-day Sheffield and is somewhat conflicted about how to spend the next day by herself.  But the Tardis alerts her to an unusual reading that comes from Ancient Syria and so she heads there to discover the source. It would seem a...
  • The Long Hello – ‘Picard’ finally ends the ‘Beginning’…

    Fourteen years ago, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard demanded that Star Fleet accept his plans to save Romulan refugees or else accept his resignation. To his surprise, they choose the latter and – just like that – his distinguished career was over.  But his decision has effects on others and his...
  • Who’s ‘Praxeus’ is a Wasted Opportunity…

    An astronaut’s shuttle veers wildly off-path, a blogger goes missing in a Peruvian beauty-spot turned rubbish-dump and in Madagascar birds are behaving very strangely indeed.  Even the Doctor and her ‘fam’ seem baffled as they divide and conquer… each heading to the site of the occurrences to try and...
  • DVD: Terminator’s Sisterhood of the Time-Travelling Plot Points…

  • Our Fiends Electric: Who’s current war powers up…

    Nikola Tesla (Goran Visnjič) is a man with vision – sometimes fanciful, sometimes pragmatic but clearly a man ahead of his time. But when funding is pulled for his latest project, in no small part to the fearmongering of rival Thomas Edison (Robert Glenister), he thinks the day can’t...
  • Who’s ‘Orphan 55’: Cut Price Vacation, too much baggage…

    With the Doctor still trying to process the news about Gallifrey – not to mention a rather drastic clear-up mess from a recent squiddish encounter (who knew it was mating season?) – perhaps there’s time for a holiday. Graham’s rather eager construction of a travel cube spirits the team...
