Review: Doctor Who: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
Well, that was the best episode of Doctor Who we have seen in a very long time. It was near perfect in execution, nodded to a past that charts back before 2005, and had some deep, troubling and interestingly explored … Continue reading

Review: Doctor Who, ‘The Bells of Saint John’
I rather enjoyed this episode. Have I surprised you? I’ve seen a lot of disappointment on Twitter, contrasted with a bunch of other people shouting about how it was PERFECT and haters are gonna hate. Given my feelings about recent … Continue reading

The Second Annual Serene Wombles
Two years! Woo-woo! Thanks for keeping with me. It’s been another hell of a year, and although Life Events have meant that I wasn’t able to review quite as much as I would have liked, you’ve stuck with me, and … Continue reading

Review: Doctor Who, ‘A Town Called Mercy’
OK, when Doctor Who wins its obligatory Hugo next year, I vote we give it to this episode. I thought that was stonking. That said, I can see my Twitter feed is already a flutter with voices of dissent. I … Continue reading

Doctor Who: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
It’s been a long while since I’ve reviewed Doctor Who, and those who follow me on Twitter probably know why, but suffice it to say that I don’t really enjoy writing strongly negative reviews, I enjoy even less doing so … Continue reading
Doctor Who: Night Terrors
I liked this. There were no obvious gender issues, which made it a relief after last week. The plot was solid and the Doctor was wonderful. Brief, non-spoilery plot synopsis Little boy is so scared he sends a psychic message … Continue reading

Doctor Who: Let’s Kill Hitler

Torchwood: Miracle Day
(Index to all Torchwood posts here.) It was amusing, on Thursday night, to see the gaping divide on my Twitter feed. People either thought the first episode of the new series of Torchwood was stonking-awesome-great-fun or godawful-shit-why-would-anyone-watch-this. If you were … Continue reading

Doctor Who, A Good Man Goes to War
Sweet zombie kittens that was awesome! The little I saw on Twitter before I wisely closed my feed for the duration suggests that the Internet may not agree, but I don’t care. I thought that was phenomenal. Somehow it managed … Continue reading
