Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 7 Review - The Zygon Invasion
Series 9 just keeps delivering, and The Zygon Invasion is yet another strong entry. As is Doctor Who's beautiful way, we have gone from a talking lion-man thing and immortals to a more grounded thriller about war. I love this show so much...

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 6 Review - The Woman Who Lived
I really loved this series format. Perhaps two-parters with a series-long thread linking them all together could be a way forward for the show now?

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 4 Review - Before the Flood
Series 9 of Doctor Who is so good, there's a lot of talk about Heaven Sent, but there's some strong stuff that comes before it, and Under the Lake and Before the Flood are very much part of that...

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 3 Review - Under the Lake
Weirdly, I don’t often travel back to Series 9. Maybe it’s because of the two-parter structure...

Why Did Stranger Things Succeed While Class Faded Into the Shadows?
This is a completely unfair comparison, but I am going to make it anyway. In 2016, two sci-fi shows focussed on school children hit our screens, Stranger Things and Class. On paper, they had a lot in common...

Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 1 Review - The Magician's Apprentice
Where is the Doctor? Did he really leave a child to die? Admittedly, that child is an awful person, but still. How is Missy back? And Skaro for that matter? There is a lot to unpack here...

Class Episode 5 Review - Brave-ish Heart
I don’t think Brave-ish Heart was quite as strong as the first part (Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart), but it was still a very watchable episode of Class...

Watching Nightvisiting, the third episode of Class, I actually found myself thinking, why can’t the main Doctor Who show be more like this?

Be Kind - Why Peter Capaldi Is My Doctor
I don’t think you always choose your Doctor. It doesn't have to be your first. Sometimes, your Doctor chooses you. They worm their way into your brain, quietly at first, before they take you over completely...
