Posted on April 18, 2022 by Roger Pocock

The Sea Devils are among the second flight of Doctor Who villains, but it feels like a refreshing change to have them back after so many years. The constant return of the big hitters, particularly the Daleks, has been starting … Continue reading →

Eve of the Daleks

Posted on January 4, 2022 by Roger Pocock

By the opening credits both the new characters introduced for this episode are dead, as are the Doctor and her two companions. Oh, and Nick Briggs got to say the line “I am not Nick” in a Dalek voice. It’s … Continue reading →

Doctor Who Flux: The Vanquishers

Posted on December 9, 2021 by Roger Pocock

Flux has been a fairly complex story with lots of strands to the plot playing out over the six episodes. All those strands have been necessary, and feed nicely into the conclusion. Up until this final episode, I felt like … Continue reading →

Doctor Who Flux: Survivors of the Flux

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Roger Pocock

We should have had more faith. When Chris Chibnall wrote UNIT out of Doctor Who in Resolution it seemed like sacrilege, but the man had plans. Survivors of the Flux shows us the Grand Serpent’s interference in UNIT’s history, right … Continue reading →

Doctor Who Flux: War of the Sontarans

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Roger Pocock

For the majority of this episode we have a much more traditional Doctor Who story, and it works well. The Sontarans have invaded, and the Doctor has to defeat them. Chris Chibnall does a very good job with this episode … Continue reading →

Doctor Who Flux: The Halloween Apocalypse

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Roger Pocock

It seems like forever since the last full series of Doctor Who, but we can’t really complain. Once upon a time we had to wait 16 years between seasons. As is often the case after a hiatus of sorts, we … Continue reading →
