Doctor Who

The End of Time and the end of an era

January 2, 2010

On the whole, the two and a half episodes of Doctor Who: The End of Time, were rather good. I say two and a half, because we effectively got a “these you have loved” extra reel added on to the end, as much Russell T Davies’ goodbye as the tenth Doctor’s.
I must confess, I ended [...]

Clayboy re-categorised, re-tagged (possibly with neologism)

October 16, 2009

I think I’ve now finished the updating I mentioned yesterday with a fairly thorough re-categorisation of the site into 16 categories (see below), so far with 243 tags.

Laughter hides the pain: God, the Bible and the Doctor

September 19, 2009

I’d forgotten just how good an early sequence of the new Who episode Gridlock was until I re-watched it tonight.

What! Worst Who?

August 15, 2009

Following up my choice of best (currently) Doctor Who episodes, Loren Rosson (who has a comprehensive list of his own) has challenged me to name what he calls “the stinkers.” Now by and large even the worst Who is better than a great deal else on TV, so I can’t really name any stinkers. These, [...]

The best five new Who episodes. What’s your choice?

August 9, 2009

I must say that the trailer for Waters of Mars (sorry that link may not work outside the UK) makes me think it could be a contender for one of the best Who episodes in the new series. But what would you say are the best five episodes since the series rebooted?
Here are mine:

Doctor Who – and wife?

July 20, 2009

One of the mysteries of the last season of Doctor Who was the character of River Song, a woman from the Doctor’s future who knew his name – something the script hinted belonged to a particular kind of intimate moment. Now Alex Kingston has been sighted alongside the new look Doctor as played by Matt [...]
