Some New Gerry Anderson DVDs
Last time out, I posted about a few new DVDs that I’d recently picked up, namely Nigel Kneale’s creepy 1972 television horror film The Stone Tape, and two DVD box sets comprising the entire twenty-four episode run of Gerry Anderson’s classic sci-fi television series UFO. Well, this time out, I’ve gotten my hands on two…

Some New DVDs
Some nice DVDs arrived from Amazon UK today. Two lovely boxsets of Gerry Anderson’s complete classic UFO, all twenty-four episodes (each boxset containing four DVDs), and a BBC ninety-minute television movie from 1972, Nigel Kneale’s classic horror/supernatural tale, The Stone Tape. UFO has been a huge favourite of mine since I first saw it on…

Doctor Who: Heaven Sent
Now THAT was a cracker! In my opinion, Heaven Sent, written by Steven Moffat, is a great follow-up to Face the Raven, the best Doctor Who episode in a long, long time, and definitely the best episode of Series 9 so far. It was dark, scary, moody, mindbending, intelligent – it\’s just how I love…

Doctor Who: The Zygon Inversion
In less than an hour, at 8pm, The Zygon Inversion, the eighth episode of Doctor Who, Series 9, will air on BBC1, with the second half of what looks to be a very good two-parter, which had a very interesting start last week with The Zygon Invasion. The Zygon Invasion was definitely a step up…

It moves us into the second half of this series\’ block of stories, with the beginning of what looks to be a very good two-parter, finishing off next week with The Zygon Inversion. Great start so far. The Doctor,…

Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived
This week’s episode of Doctor Who, The Woman Who Lived, which aired on BBC1 at 8.20pm last night, marks the half-way mark of Series 9. It\’s a direct follow-on from last week\’s episode, The Girl Who Died, and they form two self-contained stories in a prequel/sequel format, as opposed to the first two Series 9…

Doctor Who: The Woman Who Lived
The Woman Who Lived (written by Catherine Tregenna), this week\’s episode of Doctor Who, will be starting shortly on BBC1, marking the half-way mark of Series 9. The Girl Who Died was an okay story, although not earth-shatteringly brilliant. I suppose after the incredible series-opening two-parter, it was bound to be downhill the rest of…

Coming Up Soon – Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died
This week\’s episode of Doctor Who, The Girl Who Died, is starting in just over twenty minutes on BBC1. We\’re almost half way through Series 9 already. It only seems like a week or two since it started! The Girl Who Died is of interest to me because it is written by Jamie Mathieson, the…

Doctor Who: Before the Flood Starting Soon!
Only a few minutes left before the start of Before the Flood, the second part of last week\’s opener, Under the Lake. I can\’t believe we\’re at episode four of Season 9 already! Under the Lake was a pretty good start, a nice homage to the classic Doctor Who \”base under siege\” theme. Hopefully Before…
