Doctor Who Series 10, Episode 8 Review - The Lie of the Land

Doctor Who Series 10, Episode 6 Review - Extremis
I was starting to thing I might have overhyped series 10 in my head, until I rewatched this and Oxygen that is. Two absolute bangers, one after the other. I should have more faith...

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 10 Review - Face the Raven
Clara Oswald will always be a character that will split the fandom. What I think Clara needs, is a second watch. Not just the odd episode either. Clara Oswin Oswald from Asylum of the Daleks through to Twice Upon a Time...

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 6 Review - The Woman Who Lived

Why Did Stranger Things Succeed While Class Faded Into the Shadows?
