“The Crimson Horror” S07E11 Doctor Who Review
I’ve never been a massive fan of Mark Gatiss’ contributions to Doctor Who. He’s never written a travesty, but then he’s never written one that I’ve gotten giddy about. One thing I do know is that he’s at his best when comedy meets creepy, which is no surprise considering he is part of the trio that created the League of Gentlemen, that yardstick of the perverse. In Doctor Who’s latest offering The Crimson Horror, it’s evident […]

Catch Up Round Up: 25/04/13 – 01/05/13
A brief summary of what’s still available on Catch Up/On Demand from a pick of the previous weeks TV. All dates are as of Thursday 2nd May 2013. The Politician’s Husband – Aired Thursday 25th April BBC2. 15 days left. An enjoyable drama that I anticipate will get darker as the series goes on. Some flowery dialogue aside (they are politicians after all), this could be one to keep an eye on. Let’s just hope […]

“Kissed by Fire” S03E05 Game of Thrones Review
I’m in a bit of a quandary with this series of Game of Thrones. The problem is that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss created such a fantastic show that after series two and having just received a brand spanking new Kindle, I had to find something to read. Step forward George R. R. Martin. But it was ok, because I was just going to read the first two books to get in line with the […]

“Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS” S07E10 Doctor Who Review
Hooray! My cunning plan to declare the series is on a downward slope in the last review in the hopes that Steven Moffat would rise to the challenge and spit in my eye worked. Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS has thoroughly left me with egg on my face and I couldn’t be happier, though I may need a flannel. It may have taken 5 episodes but we have finally have been gifted not […]

“Hide” S07E09 Doctor Who Review
After the erm episode 3 and the universally reviled episode 2, finally a storyline that feels like good old fashioned Doctor Who. Haunted house, check; rainstorm, check; two guest characters that are secretly in love with each other, check; scares that aren’t really scary but are the kind of family friendly scares that apparently give children nightmares – you know, the best kind, check. And thank God for that as we were starting to wonder […]
