  • Doctor Who: Series Two
    Jul 27 2024

    After reviewing DOCTOR WHO series one and fourteen, Sam and Natalia look back at series two with David Tennant and Billie Piper. Having regenerated into his Tenth incarnation in "The Parting of the Ways", The Doctor and Rose Tyler fly across space and time, facing Sycorax, Cybermen and the Devil himself, before facing a heartbreaking departure across the Void.


    Sam and Natalia review every episode of DOCTOR WHO series two, from "The Christmas Invasion" to "Doomsday". Is it better than series one? Is David Tennant really the best Doctor? And, most importantly, what does Natalia think of the infamous paving slab scene?
