7.24pm: Just before the Strictly Come Dancing results show last night the BBC showed the trailer for this year’s Doctor Who festive special. Actually, it caught a few of us out, as the rumour was that it was going to be on after the show, just before the latest episode of His Dark Materials. I …

TV: The Crown (Series 4)
After much hype and anticipation, at just after 10.30am, the mighty Netflix marketing machine swung into action announcing that The Crown (Series 4) was available to binge-watch! 😃 It was a very powerful opening episode, and we narrowly avoided the temptation of binge-watching the whole series based on how good this single episode was! We’re …

Hopefully, they’ll all be dealt with in tonight’s extended episode of 65 minutes! 🙄 The Interweb on fire… Predictably, the Interweb has been on fire this week, full of theories, counter-theories, rumours and counter-rumours about how it’s all going to turn out!

Doctor Who – Series 12, Episode 9 – “Ascension of the Cybermen”
The penultimate episode for this series – and it’s a two-parter!

Doctor Who – Series 12, Episode 7 – “Can You Hear Me?”
I found last week’s episode – Praxeus, had a lot of potential, but its oh-so-predictable ending and the not-so-subtle message about the environment spoilt it (although most of the critics seemed to disagree with me, so it shows how much I know!). So, with only two more episodes to air this season, there’s a lot …

Doctor Who – Series 12, Episode 6 – “Praxeus”
Well, it seems that series 12 is now on a roll!

SYNOPSIS:What connects a missing astronaut in the Indian Ocean, birds …

Doctor Who – Series 12, Episode 5 – “Fugitive of the Judoon”
We’re exactly halfway through this series, and after last week’s very satisfying episode, I wonder if this week’s will be as good? SYNOPSIS: The Judoon have marched their way into modern Gloucester on the hunt for a fugitive. Who are they pursuing and why is the Doctor involved? Reserve your space behind the settee for …
