Last night’s Doctor Who featured a famous face: noted fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, of Sandman, American Gods and Stardust fame. Well, it didn’t feature his actual face, although you can see that in Doctor Who Confidential. But still, he wrote the episode, which is exciting for dorks everywhere. So … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Curse Of The Black Spot – Dork Review
Arr, shiver me timbers, parrots, skulls, yo ho ho, bottle of rum, pieces of eight, peg legs, silly hats, rubbish Disney trilogies, other pirate jokes. Now that’s out of the way, it’s time to review this week’s Doctor Who, in which the regular gang finally stop fretting about the uber-plot … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Day Of The Moon – Dork Review
After watching the second episode of Doctor Who, I scratched my head. Then I wandered around. None of it helped. I still had no notion of what was going on in the last couple of scenes, so I’ll probably spoil them in this review as a form of therapy. You have been warned. So was it all confusion … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Impossible Astronaut – Dork Review
After much ado, the first episode of Doctor Who series six finally unfolded backwards across BBC1. By the time it aired, I had stopped reading publicity, not just due to a nerdish fear of spoilers, but also the feeling that the hype was becoming akin to the second coming of Jesus. It’s even … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Series Six – Dork Preview
The return of Doctor Who on Saturday is being anticipated with a pleasingly messianic fervour. Even in America, where they think we’re silly and quaint, the Doctor’s oh-so-British antics have been embraced. So much so that the they're airing the episode on the same date as the UK (I'm not bitter) … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol – Dork Review
The Doctor Who Christmas Special was even more important this year, as the rest of the festive schedule was looking particularly desolate. Christmas night itself was almost empty of worthwhile entertainment, so I too was relying on the Doctor to save Christmas in my own small way. So did Matt … [Read more...]
Doctor Who Adventure Games: TARDIS – Dork Review
Nearly two months after Doctor Who disappeared from TV until Christmas, a new Adventure Game appears! With no other Who product of late, at least until Sarah Jane Adventures starts back up in autumn, this prospect excited me a little. The last two were decent, after all, and it’s always pleasant to … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Big Bang review
After blowing up the TARDIS and destroying the entire universe last week, the scene was set for one of those “Oh my God big stuff happens!” finales that Doctor Who has often presented in recent years. Oh, and Amy’s dead, and the man himself is locked inside an inescapable Rubik’s Cube. So it’s … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens review
A few weeks back whilst reviewing the first half of the Silurian two-parter, I slipped in some smartarse about how it’s unfair to review the first part of such storylines on their own. I found myself thinking that again, rather more seriously, whilst watching The Pandorica Opens, the beginning of … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Lodger review
It’s sitcom time in Doctor Who this week, as the man in tweed moves into a flatshare with James Corden, plays a bit of football and embarrasses himself whilst trying to fit in with the humans. For those who watched Third Rock From The Sun or Mork & Mindy, this may seem eerily familiar. Still, … [Read more...]
