‘Doctor Who 10×12 – The Doctor Falls’ Review

Doctor Who

So, the season finale is here and we all knew that Doctor Who was going to die. It isn’t a surprise, Peter Capaldi is leaving, as is Steven Moffat. With just the Christmas episode to go before Doctor Who returns in an all new form, does this episode live up to all expectations? Oh, and…

‘Doctor Who 10×10 – The Eaters of Light’ Review

Doctor Who

Knowing what is coming up in Doctor Who may have stolen some of the limelight off The Eaters of Light, but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad episode. If anything, this episode is about teaching The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) that he can’t always be the hero, sometimes he has to take a step…

‘Doctor Who 10×09 – Empress of Mars’ Review

Doctor Who

Doctor Who has been on quite a roll this season, and there was bound to be an episode that came along that was a bit of a filler. Empress of Mars feels to be that filler episode, and what we are given is a story that is simple, okay. After seeing an unexpected message on…

‘Doctor Who 10×08 – The Lie of the Land’ Review

Doctor Who

When politics inspires a show like Doctor Who, we tend to see the extremes of what can happen. This week’s episode handles the nature of fascism, and that ever popular topic of fake news.

‘Doctor Who 10×06 – Extremis’ Review

Doctor Who Extremis

If there is one problem with Doctor Who it is that things tend to stay the same, and we see nothing really that new. What we’ve needed is something to shake up the status quo. Extremis was promised to be a big episode, but the result was something of a refreshing surprise that many won’t…

‘Doctor Who 10×05 – Oxygen’ Review

Doctor Who

It is fair to say that Doctor Who is on a bit of a roll at the moment with good episodes this season. In Oxygen, we go back to space in an episode that has repercussions that the Doctor was definitely not ready for. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) finally gives in to his desire to…

‘Doctor Who 10×04’ Review – Knock Knock

Doctor Who

Ever since Blink, there has been an anticipation around creepy episodes of Doctor Who, that they will deliver the same creepiness. While some have come close, not many have managed to reach the same impressive quality of Blink. Knock Knock though promised something different, and that was David Suchet. In Knock Knock we are back…

‘Doctor Who 10×03 – Thin Ice’ Review

Doctor Who Thin Ice

Three episodes into this year’s season of Doctor Who, and we are in Victorian England. With more of a hint of Dickens about some of the tropes used in the episode, will Thin Ice be a damp squib of an episode, or a behemoth of excellence? Instead of returning The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Bill…
