Doctor Who Minisode – The Last Day – Dork Review
After the excitement (and that's putting it mildly) that followed last weekend's Night of The Doctor, another Doctor Who minisode has been unleashed upon the fans. Although shorter in length and with a distinct lack of any familiar faces, it's still exciting to watch... and suitably dark at … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Night of the Doctor 50th Anniversary Prelude – Dork Review
There were rumours of a prelude to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special Day of the Doctor going up this weekend - it was to be called Night of the Doctor and feature unknown exciting things. Well, perhaps the tabloids saw it and threatened to spoil everything, or maybe the BBC just suffered itchy … [Read more...]
Coupling by Steven Moffat – Timey-Wimey Sex-Farce Retrospective
Before Steven Moffat was master of Doctor Who and Sherlock, he'd largely worked not in action-drama, but comedy. One of his last and most successful sitcom projects before joining Team Who was Coupling – on the surface, a sitcom with a simple aspiration: being the smuttier, more British … [Read more...]
Sherlock Series 3 : A Little Glimpse
On Friday, BBC One concluded their repeats of the brilliant series two of Sherlock with the by now notorious The Reichenbach Fall (a 90-minute masterclass in how to make a fandom explode). If you were lucky enough to catch the repeat all the way through to the end, then you were in for a treat. … [Read more...]
Matt Smith leaves Doctor Who! Are we angry? Who should replace him?
People had been whispering about a potential change-of-Time-Lord at Doctor Who for a while, so after rumours of an “upcoming big announcement” hit the internet last night, it wasn't a huge surprise when it turned out to be Matt Smith leaving the show. Our floppy-haired hero will appear in November's … [Read more...]
Who is the Doctor? Who is Clara? Why always that bloody leaf? Doctor Who series 7 finale – Dork Review
So, the long-awaited series finale of Doctor Who. It's been a patchy series – a lot of it, to be honest, just kinda okayish, but they've still set up a decent pile of mysteries to resolve in this last one. Who is Clara? What is the Doctor's name? Steven Moffat might now tell us. Hold on to your … [Read more...]
The TARDIS Brings A New Meaning To “Changing Rooms”… Doctor Who S7BE5 – Dork Review
For most sci-fi shows, an episode entirely set on-board the lead character's spaceship would be an excuse to save some money and work entirely off existing sets and actors. Probably not so much Doctor Who, since we normally see one room of the allegedly infinite TARDIS, so a bunch of new sets and … [Read more...]
Making Alien Abduction Seem Acceptable Since 1963! It’s Doctor Who S7BE1 – Dork Review
The new-but-not really series of Doctor Who begins, complete with the debut of new-but-not-really companion Clara (aka Jenna-Louise Coleman). Coleman first popped up in Asylum of the Daleks as a surprise, before making her “real” appearance in The Snowmen. Both those episodes were good, if not … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Snowmen – Dork Review
It's been a few years since the Doctor Who Christmas special “mattered” to the show's ongoing plots – in fact, not really since 2009's The End Of Time, when David Tennant sniffled his way off our screens. The last two with Matt Smith have been standalone festive stories, but with 2012's The … [Read more...]
