Oh Doctor you are a complicated Time Lord, just when I was worried about the direction of the show you pull me back in. I’m not convinced that this is some kind of miraculous fix, but I admit this week I was hooked, though at first just a little worried. With the subject matter there […]
Oh Doctor Who, using big words and gibberish to make us believe we have been entertained and what we are seeing is not silly at all. With an episode titled Kill the Moon, I did wonder where the imagination had gone from naming episodes, but that won’t stop me from watching it. Perhaps the most […]
I am a Doctor Who fan, I want to like every episode I watch but sometimes this just isn’t the case. Last week when I watched the teaser for The Caretaker I was worried, and having now watched it I was right to be, but also wrong because in truth it wasn’t that bad. My […]

A little darker than usual with references to past episodes […]
