Officially, there have only in fact been two in the revised series, those being Series 3’s standout episode ‘Blink’ and Series 4’s ‘Turn Left’. When fan-usage of the term comes […]

Review: Doctor Who S8, Episode 8: “Mummy on the Orient Express”

Writer: Jamie Mathieson. Director: Paul Wilmshurst. Starring: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Frank Skinner. The title of this tale alone serves as something of an introduction to what we’re in for, I think. What do you get when you cross the Orient Express in space (with tones similar to the Tenth Doctor Christmas Special ‘Voyage of the Damned’ […]

Review: Doctor Who S8, Episode 6: “The Caretaker”

Writers: Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat. Director: Paul Murphy. Starring: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Samuel Anderson. It’s always an amusing thing, watching the Doctor attempt to blend in with our normal, everyday society.
