“There was something of the Douglas Adams about the Solitract taking on the form of a lonely frog going to extreme lengths for some company. Something that makes you reticent to poke it too much, lest it falls apart as quickly as that portal between the real world and its chaotic mirror.” Our take on the bizarre, penultimate episode. … Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘It Takes You Away’ (Series 11, Episode 9)

“Regardless of the episode’s missed opportunities, you know you’re onto a winner when you find yourself wondering about the wider world outside of the glimpse you’ve been given.

“Inconsistencies regarding this week’s aliens aside, ‘Demons of the Punjab’ packed a gut-wrenching, emotional punch that put it on a par with with Series 11’s other outstanding episode, ‘Rosa’.” Our Recap and Review of the sixth episode. … Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘Demons of the Punjab’ (Series 11, Episode 6)
“An adventure that showcased a ‘hangry’ alien, and which seemed to straddle the divide between the Crystal Maze and a rather patronising segment on Blue Peter about anti-matter, was never going to be everybody’s cup of tea.” Our Recap and Review of the disappointing fifth episode.… Read More RECAP & REVIEW: Doctor Who – ‘The Tsuranga Conundrum’ (Series 11, Episode 5)
“What could be more terrifying than gigantic spiders ready to pounce, wrap you up in their web, and store you as food for later?
