Well, Steven Moffatt threw the kitchen sink at the end of episode 12, The Pandorica Opens, but didn’t need that flippantry in the finale episode. Even the Stone Dalek that strangely suited the new design extremely well fitted into a plot jam packed and fast moving but with everything making perfect sense. This Doctor, the [...]
Appointment to Who?
Been looking around the forums today who are arguing the toss about the latest Doctor Who rating for last nights episode, The Lodger, which the overnight figure is 4.6m. Heres a post I made to one that sums up my feelings about it: No show is appointment viewing any more, bar the soaps due to [...]

However, amongst this lot of dodgy ideas, sets [...]
Who Reviews
Many years ago I started writing simple and straightforward reviews of Doctor Who stories, from the original run between 1963 and 1989. These have gone up and down various websites over the years and so I’m going to stick them up here as I feel the WordPress environment is the least pain in the arse [...]
