The BBC first released a one-minute clip on Twitter on Saturday, 2nd April revealing the next Doctor Who ‘Special’. It’s been a while since anything Who-related has been marketed and this was an important episode for a number of reasons: First, it will be Jodie Whittaker’s penultimate appearance as our time-travelling hero. Next, we see …

Christmas TV Listings (2021)
We’ve all got different ‘triggers’ for when ‘Christmas’ officially begins. For many, it’s probably when the Supermarkets start displaying their Christmas lines! But that’s obscenely early, so how about… …that first Christmas lunch? …when the John Lewis Christmas Ad first appears? …or receiving your first Christmas Card? (actually, we’d had TWO by the beginning of …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 6: The Vanquishers
This was the final chapter and the final series for Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor. JW will regenerate into the next Doctor, but we won’t see that until one of the three Specials yet-to-come, next year. There was a lot riding on this episode chapter, and I was able to watch it live. It went …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 5: Survivors of the Flux
I was able to watch it live. It went out at 6.25pm on BBC 1 and ran for 50 minutes. After last week’s mega-cliffhanger, this story could only get more complex – but in tonight’s penultimate story, at least we got some answers. (but I’m not revealing them here!) Excerpt… Synopsis… As the forces of …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 4: Village of the Angels
No prizes for guessing what this one is about! 🤔 A village with Angels? How do they think up the titles? 😉 Same advice as before then: Whatever you do, DON’T blink! 😳. Other useful advice is HERE. I’ve got high expectations for this one, so let’s see if this series can maintain its run …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 3: Once, Upon Time
After last week’s four-star episode – The War of the Sontarans, tonight, another familiar foe (or is it foes?) became part of the story… We’re now exactly halfway through this series and there are still plenty of unanswered questions. I’m really liking the linking of the six stories under one heading – Flux – rather …

TV: Doctor Who – Series 13, Chapter 2: War of the Sontarans
After an impressive start last week to the beginning of series 13 with The Halloween Apocalypse, would tonight’s episode chapter impress? The sixty-minuter (that’s a long one!) premièred at 6.15pm on BBC1 (but I wasn’t able to watch it live because we were out at Rosi’s surprise 60th Party at Ise Lodge Community Centre). Some …

John Lewis Christmas Advert (2021)

This year’s festive treat is called “Unexpected Guest” and for many, this now signals the official beginning of the Christmas shopping period! 😳 According to …
