  • Empress of Mars

    Doctor Who (S10 Ep.9) ‘Empress of Mars’…

    When a new NASA satellite detects a two century old message under the north pole of Mars, the Doctor can’t help investigating but what he finds does not initially appear to fit within known history. Could a group of British soldiers really have travelled to Mars and, if so,...
  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep.8) ‘The Lie of the Land’…

    Spoilers… Humanity worships the monks – and has done throughout the centuries. They are our benevolent masters – and always have been. At least, that’s what most people believe. A handful still seem to remember that the aliens have only been here six months and that the correct ‘history’...
  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep.7) ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World…’

    The Doctor is now aware of an imminent threat to the Earth, but still unsure of when and how it will come. Summoned – in his role as ‘President of Earth’ in times of global crises – he is shown a very ancient pyramid built at a critical location...
  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep.6) ‘Extremis’ review…

    The Doctor made an oath a long time ago, one which he’s spent a great deal of time keeping and circumventing but that time may be running out. The Time Lord gets a personal request from the Vatican and even being blind (shhhh, don’t tell anyone), he can’t resist...

    Doctor Who (S10 Ep.4) ‘Knock Knock’ review…

      It’s hard to find accommodation when you’re a student – or at least a home of the affordable kind, even if you’re happy to share. So when Bill (Pearl Mackie) and fellow class-mates are beginning to despair of ever finding a roof over their heads, it seems like...



  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep.3) reviewed – ‘Thin Ice’…

    “Regency England’s a bit more black than they show in the movies.” “So was Jesus. History’s a whitewash.” Rather than heading home in time and space, the Tardis has insisted on bringing its occupants to the banks of the Thames in 1814, the last year of the famous Frost...



  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep2) ‘Smile’ review…

    *Only Minor Spoilers* The Doctor may have certain duties and obligations that are keeping him close to Earth and the university in particular, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t take little side-steps… after all, even if you have to stay somewhere, the whole point of having a machine...




  • Doctor Who (S10 Ep 1) ‘The Pilot’ review…

    *Some spoilers* Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) may make a modest income serving dinner at Bristol University but in between plates of fries and making eye-contact with other pretty girls, she quietly slips into the lectures provided by the man the students and faculty refer to as simply ‘The Doctor’...
