  • Doctor Who: Rogue Review
    Jun 10 2024

    Prepare for an entertaining discussion as we wake Matt up and share our thoughts on the latest Doctor Who episode, Rogue, which Tim says was the best for a long time! We even compare the emotional rollercoaster of being a Doctor Who fan with being a football fan, expressing our cautious optimism for the show's future despite its recent ups and downs.

    To top it off, we speculate about the potential return of an old adversary for the finale as the possible continuation of old God themes. As well as Doctor Who, we reminisce about our experiences at conventions, reflecting on the changes in pricing, the value of VIP tickets, and memorable encounters with celebrities.

  • Doctor Who: 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble
    Jun 3 2024

    What if traditional TV ratings are no longer the benchmark for success? Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of Doctor Who, dissect the show's current ratings slump despite the Disney and BBC partnership, and ponder the broader implications for the show's future.

    We reviewed episodes 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble, which could have been better, leaving us more puzzled than intrigued. Both stories had so much potential but ultimately fell flat due to underdeveloped storylines and incoherent progression. We critique the wasted opportunities and discuss how supernatural and traditional sci-fi elements might have spiced things up. Our analysis doesn't stop there—we delve into the portrayal of TV ageing, missed chances for inclusivity, and the episode's frustrating inconsistencies.

    Finally, we reminisce about the golden days of "Doctor Who" and its impact on family enjoyment. From the Daleks vs. Cybermen showdowns to the charm of past Doctors, we reflect on how the current series struggles to captivate younger viewers. We speculate on the upcoming series finale, the potential recasting of Captain Jack, and potential twists involving the Doctor's past, all while questioning the show's identity crisis and yearning for a defining moment for the new Doctor.

  • Doctor Who: Boom Review
    May 19 2024

    Ever found yourself at the centre of a whirlwind, where passionate debates swirl like leaves in an autumn gale? Strap in as we navigate the tumultuous Doctor Who fandom, where recent episodes have sparked existential wonderings and fiery articles have fueled the flames of discourse. We tackle the slippery slope of TV ratings in an age where streaming platforms like iPlayer and Disney Plus reign supreme while championing the art of thoughtful critique over the seductive pull of sensationalism.

    Join us as we dissect Boom, the latest narrative from the Doctor Who universe, examining its ambitious foray into themes of anti-capitalism and the haunting spectres of war and whether it's directness of its message may resonate differently across continents. We find nuggets of admiration amidst our disappointment, proving that even within the chaos, there's always room for thoughtful analysis.

    Embark on a speculative journey with us as we draw parallels between Susan Twist's enigmatic appearances and the legendary "Bad Wolf" lore. Theories abound like stars in the night sky as we analyze the significance of each cameo and wonder whether she is, in fact, the big bad.
