‘Doctor Who: 8×08 – Mummy on the Orient Express’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×07 – Kill The Moon’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×06 – The Caretaker’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×05 – Time Heist’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

There always has to be those throw away episodes in a television show, where the episode has no real importance to the overall continuity but just works as a filler.  Time Heist arguably signposted that it would be one of these episodes and to be fair has done little to dissuade me from changing my […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×04 – Listen’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Looking at Doctor Who episodes written by Steven Moffat you can see that he understands how to scare viewers, especially the younger ones.  Listen taps into the fear of the unknown and very much like Blink and The Empty Child creates something that really does show an understanding of what is definitely creepy.  Not everything […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×03 – Robot of Sherwood’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

When writing reviews I like to go on my initial thoughts and work from there.  Lately there has been a lot of criticism about the direction the show is going and I’ll admit that there are issues that fans (including me) have a right to complain about.  What this can’t get in the way of […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×02 – Into the Dalek’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Trust the Daleks to give Doctor Who a wakeup call, and for me to be torn on whether I liked Into the Dalek or not. Last week I noticed little attempts to rewrite the history of the Doctor, and while it bugged me I let it go, but it happened again this week and this […]

‘Doctor Who: 8×01 – Deep Breath’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Finally we have a new episode of Doctor Who and it’s directed by Ben Wheatley, you would think that the BBC were trying to create something special with Deep Breath for Peter Capaldi’s first full episode as the Doctor and I’d say you are right. A little darker than usual with references to past episodes […]
