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...

TV Review Dr Who The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos

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

Spoiler alerts Maybe this one should be called The Battle of Unpronounceable Unmemorable Episode Titles I enjoyed this episode though it was far from perfect. It also didn’t feel like a season finale. More like a misplaced...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 3 Dec 18

It Takes You Away Spoiler alerts It was basically about an anti-matter universe separated from ours by a cave dimension guarded by a Golem-like treacherous fairy tale leprechaun played by an unrecognizable Kevin Eldon and...

TV Review Dr Who Kerblam

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

Spoiler alerts Any resemblance between Kerblam and Amazon is entirely intentional here, in the most entertaining episode of the first Jodie Whittaker season so far. There are several echoes of former episodes; the postal...

TV Review Dr Who Demons Of The Punjab

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 11 Nov 18

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...

TV Review Dr Who The Tsurangi Conundrum

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

Spoiler alerts Though it was the weakest episode of the series so far, I still enjoyed it. Plot wise, the TARDIS crew are knocked unconscious by a sonic mine explosion on an asteroid rubbish tip the Doctor is exploring for no...

TV Review Doctor Who Arachnids In The UK

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 28 Oct 18

Spoiler alerts This felt the most like a traditional Who story of the new series so far. It had a lot in common with Jon Pertwee era story The Green Death, mutation due to careless toxic waste dumping in old mine-shafts, the...

There's a huge problem with time travel

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 24 Oct 18

Actually, there are many huge problems with time travel, such as the fact that nobody has the faintest idea how to do it, and even if they did, it would pose some interesting conundrums concerning the possible rewriting of...

TV Review Dr Who The Ghost Monument

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

Spoiler alerts A lot of good stuff going on here, especially in the companion character development. No one dies, which is surprising given the deadly environment. Art Malik is good in his utter indifference to the Doctor’s...

TV Review Dr Who The Doctor Falls

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 2 Jul 17

Spoiler alerts Just about everyone falls over in this episode with Bill and Missy both looking like they are bowing out too. There were some nice poetic touches to Bill’s swan-song, as yet another Cyberman sentient enough to...

TV Review - Dr Who - World Enough And Time

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 26 Jun 17

Spoiler alerts Dr Who Got to this Andrew Marvell quotation for a title before James Bond could. I really liked the mood of general creepiness and shock here. That John Simm’s Master was returning was rather over-splashed in...

TV Review - Dr Who - The Eaters Of Light

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 17 Jun 17

Spoiler alerts Maybe it should be called the eaters of light snacks between devouring universes. Would a few soldiers even make an impression on the stomach of creatures capable of digesting the stars? Nardole looked like he...

TV Review - Dr Who - Empress Of Mars

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 10 Jun 17

Spoiler alerts Great to see a return to form after the atrocious Monks trilogy. This was a real romp, with genuine thrills, laughs, puns on war-movie clichés, and lots of great nods to the whole Who canon. I did wonder why no...

TV Review Dr Who - The Lie Of The Land

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 4 Jun 17

TV Review - Dr Who - Thin Ice

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 15 May 17

Spoiler alerts One of the best Capaldi era Who adventure to date. The strange looking idea of the frozen Thames in 1814 is not actually science fiction. Such ‘frost fairs’ had really happened from the 17th century onwards when...

April @thislittlepennyearns (68246) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 1 Apr 17

I searched for what seems like another hour to try to find a phone case for my phone. I finally found one for $9.98 with free shipping. That was pretty exciting to begin with! But the best part is it's a TARDIS case. I have...

Stories In Which Hitler Won World War Two - Terrence Dickse - Doctor Who – Timewyrm: Exodus

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 3 Oct 16

Most alternate histories don’t draw in other science fiction elements. Some, like Deighton’s SS-GB are not written by SF authors. It is the science fiction writers who consider the danger of time travellers themselves causing time...
