Penultimate Episode Shockers! The episode opens with a rather exciting shot: the TARDIS flying over a London skyline. Straight away, we’re off to a very energetic start. There’s a lovely little scene with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and the staff of UNIT, and we get straight to the business of identifying Susan Triad’s true identity. Obviously, this review is going to be full of SPOILERS—consider this your warning. It’s the penultimate episode […]
Gatecrashing with the Doctor: A Romp Through 'Rogue' Gate-crashing has always been one of the Doctor’s characteristics, and trust me, I’d be more than happy having the benevolent Time Lord gate-crashing a party I’m hosting—within reason, that is! ‘Rogue’ is a real good romp, complete with costumes, beautifully stately homes, and outta space bird aliens cosplaying as humans. The overall story was very gay and beautifully executed by writers Kate […]
Living in Finetime: A Tech-Driven Nightmare or a Clever Cautionary Tale? Living in Finetime is wonderful, when everything is fine all the time! Or is it?

Wales! This week’s episode brings us to the picturesque Welsh countryside. Not quite Cardiff Bay, but it’s Wales all the same. Once again, Newport Market in the City Centre has been used as a stand-in for a typical London high street. You might recall my review of Episode II: "The Devil’s Chord" where Newport Market’s roof was depicted as the rooftop of London’s Abbey Road Studios."73 Yards" explores Celtic folklore, […]
