Nightmare in Silver
I’m oddly ambivalent about Neil Gaiman’s second Doctor Who script. I quite liked his first: it had creepy moments and some excellent villainous and macabre characters. Of course, it also had the TARDIS getting mixed up about which door the “PULL TO OPEN” sign refers to, but I

The Crimson Horror
The best thing about ‘The Crimson Horror’ is that the Doctor isn’t in it for the first half. The worst thing about ‘The Crimson Horror’ is that he isn’t in it in the second half, even though they got Matt Smith to turn up anyway. But I’ll

Journey to the Center of the TARDIS

Rings / Cold
I think ‘The Rings of Akhaten’ was trying to do something interesting, and I really respect that. I don’t think it totally managed it, really, but good on it for trying. I mean, the singing was cute, and the scenes between the kid and Clara were heart-felt. But in

The Bells of St John
When popular TV tries to talk about computers, and the internet, and other things that it doesn’t particularly understand, it can get really awkward and cringe-worthy. The second half of new Doctor Who’s seventh season, ‘The Bells of Saint John’, runs into a few howlers as it tries
