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…

Doctor Who: Under the Lake Starting Soon!
Under the Lake, the third episode of of Series 9 of Doctor Who will be airing on BBC1 in about ten minutes, at 8.25pm. I know nothing about the story (I\’ve been avoiding spoilers like the plague) other than what I\’ve seen in the trailer, which looks suitably spooky. Under the Lake has a lot…

Doctor Who: The Witch\’s Familiar is On TV Tonight!
The Witch\’s Familiar, Part Two of the Doctor Who season opening double-parter, airs on BBC One at 7.45pm tonight. It\’ll be interesting to see how things turn out for Clara (Jenna Coleman) and Missy (Michelle Gomez), and how the complex relationship between the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Davros (Julian Bleach) may or may not have…

Doctor Who Series 9 Episodes Listing
Saturday past gave us the first episode of the new Series 9 of Doctor Who, The Magician\’s Apprentice, and a cracking start it was too. Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman reprise their roles as the Doctor and companion Clara Oswald, and this first episode alone gave us a cracking story and a whole bunch of…
