Doctor Who: Asylum of The Daleks – Dork Review
Doctor Who returns! After a year away (give or take the occasional Christmas special), they’re back with a five-episode run devoted to finally getting rid of the Ponds.

Doctor Who: Good As Gold – Dork Review
Just as I’d resigned myself to no more Doctor Who until autumn, the BBC have produced the latest winner of their Script To Screen competition: Good As Gold, the Olympic tie-in edition. So, this mini-episode was written by Britain’s school-children - does this mean I hold back on the critical … [Read more...]
