The Weeping Angels are back. Doctor Who: Flux has pulled out all the stops in the mid-season slump and brought back a monster whose fear factor was decimated a long time ago. However, in a somewhat pleasant surprise, the weeping angel formula gets a new rewrite. While nowhere near as frightening as they were in […]

Doctor Who: Flux continues with Once, Upon Time – and in classic Chris Chibnall fashion. That of running out of steam and proceeding to rip off your predecessors, this time being Steven Moffat and his wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey malarkey. Here’s the thing: despite Moffat’s faults, there seemed like genuine depth and emotion being displayed by the […]

Doctor Who: Flux continues with War of the Sontarans, which is a bit of a redundant title since the Sontarans are basically always at war. So really it should be called: The Sontarans. The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan have been transported through time where things are… a little off. The Crimean War is now being […]

Doctor Who’s latest season and Jodie Whittaker’s second in charge of the TARDIS. Will we see a resurgence of quality in the show that misfired a few too many times last series? It’s evident that the presentation and effort has multiplied tenfold in comparison to series eleven, with all four main actors seeming more comfortable […]

Doctor Who goes through its most radical changes since its revival. With a new showrunner, new production team and most significantly, Jodie Whittaker becoming the first female incarnation of the Time Lord. A hard reset was on the cards for the show and Series Eleven did just that. Did it stick the landing or did […]

Doctor Who lead actor and showrunner, Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat, were set for one last series. With them came Matt Lucas as the bumbling android Nardole, and newcomer Pearl Mackie, stealing the hearts of everyone as the infectious Bill Potts. I feel like Series Ten is slept on by a lot of people. It’s […]

After stumbling out the gates, Capaldi’s second stint on Doctor Who proved to not only be a significant improvement but one of the greatest the show has ever had to offer. And it is so easy to overlook. Dominated by two-parters, the ninth series is home to some of the strongest episodes yet, rivalling Series […]

Doctor Who’s new direction begins with Peter Capaldi taking the reins and Jenna Coleman in support. A life-long Who fanatic, we can only guess how Capaldi felt when offered the role of his dreams. Regrettably, Series Eight is the weakest of Capaldi’s three outings. Maybe Steven Moffat was burnt out by the year before, we’ll […]

Doctor Who’s seventh series was pretty significant. Not only was it the third and last full season to feature Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor but it fell in line with the 50th anniversary of the show. To say that Steven Moffat’s hands were full is an understatement. The focus on the anniversary special meant […]

For many people, this is where Doctor Who seemed to descend in quality for them. Steven Moffat’s reliance on confusing and over-arching stories was putting more people off than intriguing them to keep watching. However, if you put that to the side, I believe series six has some very solid episodes, and even a lot […]

It seemed like an impossible task to replace David Tennant. The job on new showrunner Steven Moffat and the unknown actor cast as the Eleventh Doctor seemed nigh-on impossible. Yet somehow, Series Five of Doctor Who is considered one of the best ever. And this is all thanks to the blazing confidence and ambition set […]

The final season for showrunner Russell T Davies and the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant. Series Four is arguably the most acclaimed, iconic, and beloved season of television the show has ever produced. So loved was this era that five special episodes were produced throughout 2009 to pay tribute to their final days. All these episodes […]

David Tennant’s first series continues the strong impact made by the first. We see the Doctor and Rose go into even more extreme dangers here. Series Two is notable for its massive fluctuations in quality between episodes. A handful here many consider classics while others are notable for their infamous poor reception. Let’s see how […]
