“The Name of the Doctor” S07E13 Doctor Who Review
Spoilers! Steven Moffat is a tease. He goes and calls an episode ‘The Name of the Doctor’ and of course, reveals something completely different. Not that I fully understand what he revealed, but at least he revealed something. This almost happened the wrong way round though, as someone in the Doctor Who offices fucked up big time and sent 210 blu-rays of the complete series 7 part 2 out to American fans about a week […]

“Nightmare in Silver” S07E12 Doctor Who Review
I’m not sure where to begin with this episode of Doctor Who. I walked away from watching it with no real feeling about it. Would I be keen to watch it again? Probably not. Would I throw a tantrum if someone put it on? Probably not. And that’s not really great is it? Yes sure, it wasn’t bad, but then it wasn’t brilliant either, and with this series being fairly hit and miss already I […]

“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 […]

“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 […]
