Doctor Who – Dot And Bubble


Doctor Who – Dot And Bubble

Dot And Bubble sees Doctor Who confront the black and white nature social media Dot and Bubble slides into your Doctor Who DMs with the confidence of a fedora-tipping basement dweller and just like that overly solicitous (and hopefully not pictographical) overture it’s harbouring views which are toxically bigoted and blithely entitled. The entire episode ..

Doctor Who – 73 Yards

It follows that I have a theory about Doctor Who’s supernatural sidestep 73 Yards Folk horror and DOCTOR WHO is a match made in TV heaven and, of course, it’s something the series has dabbled with across the years, most recently in THE WITCHFINDERS and more classically in the likes of THE CURSE OF FENRIC, ..

Doctor Who – Boom

Doctor Who – Boom


Doctor Who – Boom

Moffat’s return to Doctor Who is a literal minefield with plenty of “Kiss Kiss” but will there be a “Bang Bang” in Boom? With Davies’ return, DOCTOR WHO once again embraced more character-driven, emotional storytelling as a welcome antidote to the thematically rich but dramatically inept era which preceded it.

Doctor Who – The Giggle


Doctor Who – The Giggle

Once again, David Tennant and Catherine Tate come together to bring us much ado about nothing in The Giggle.
