Three years ago, The Sarah Jane Adventures began, as the second spin-off from the BBC’s Doctor Who juggernaut. It featured Sarah Jane Smith, a Who companion from the seventies, fighting evil alongside a group of young sidekicks. The series became one of the Beeb’s most successful children’s … [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...]
Doctor Who: Vincent and the Doctor review
As you’ve doubtless heard, this is The Richard Curtis Episode. The jokes about floppy fringes and stuttering write themselves, don’t they? But it would be a lot easier to hurl such abuse if the end result had been rubbish, and annoyingly it isn’t. Despite widespread grumbling about his last few … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – Cold Blood review
So, this week’s Doctor Who was certainly a game-changer. The ongoing crack-in-time storyline took another step forward, and something horrible happened to a regular cast member, all of which I’ll be elaborating upon later. (So stop reading this and go watch the episode if you’re one of the “NO … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – The Hungry Earth review
This week in Doctor Who, the Time Lord faces the return of an old and deadly foe: Some soil! See our hero fighting dirt! Be disappointed when he fails to produce a sonic trowel! Sorry, that was unfair, much like reviewing the first half of a two-parter on its own. The Hungry Earth is not entirely … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – Amy’s Choice review
A potential turning point in Doctor Who this week, as Amy Pond must finally decide where her heart lies: thrilling adventures with the Doctor, or a quiet life with Rory – a man who would be sensible and dependable if he could only stop falling over. Rather than a whole episode of Amy listing pros … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Vampires Of Venice review
This week in Doctor Who, something very predictable happened: The Doctor met a seemingly paranormal threat, and quickly exposed it as a science-fiction menace instead. Never mind the gay agenda and the Scottish agenda, there should be more talk about the “Ghosts are stupid!” agenda. But that was … [Read more...]
