This series of Doctor Who tackled something completely unprecedented in the show: a two-parter that’s not a two-parter. It’s the overarching story of Ashildr, tackled by two different writers, dealing with wildly different plots – and Maisie Williams arguably plays two different characters. After watching The Girl Who Died, I was fairly unconvinced that they were […]
It’s back! Nine months after another forgettable Christmas special which Steven Moffat probably wrote in an afternoon, Doctor Who blasted back onto our screens in traditionally explosive fashion.

Back in 2007, Doctor Who debuted some brand new recurring villains: the rhinoceros-esque intergalactic police force known as the Judoon. They were pretty cool and have appeared a couple of times since then, last rearing their horns in 2011’s A Good Man Goes to War. As the September 19th premiere date for Series 9 draws […]
At least I think it’s a dragon. C’mon, look at it! It’s basically Drogon. A month ago, the first trailer for the ninth series of Doctor Who dropped at Comic-Con, and it was absolutely fucking awesome. The show actually looked cinematic for once, the stories all looked exciting and there was a very strong buzz […]
There isn’t anything quite like Doctor Who. Dozens of different brilliant concepts are thrown into a big sci-fi extravaganza, so many that other properties would be lucky to think up just one. It’s such a broad idea that it’s covered television, radio, books, comics and video games, but one realm which it hasn’t been too […]
A common staple of modern Doctor Who companions is a love interest who will usually end up as a companion themselves. Rose Tyler had Mickey in the Russell T. Davies era (whom Martha Jones ended up marrying), Amy Pond had Rory and last year Clara Oswald had Danny Pink. While Danny didn’t become a full-fledged […]
