Doctor Who (???)

Stacey @xstitcher (39038) • Petaluma, California 18 Nov 23

I had a friend who was into the modern Dr. Who, and recently I discovered the original series (1963) on my ROku TV. Got to admit it's odd, seeing as how acting was in '63, the sound wasn't the greatest, and for me it started out...

TV Review Dr Who Resolution

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 1 Jan 19

Spoiler alerts This could have been great if half of the story wasn't straight out of soap operas like Eastenders. The final struggle would have been more poignant and emotional if it had been one of the actual companions in...

Spoiler alerts Much to like about this story though in many ways it was treading very similar territory to the Rosa episode. The TARDIS travellers trying not to change the past, and this time aliens with a similar look but don’t...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 9 Nov 18

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 14 Oct 18
