Silence of the Astronauts, Part Two
How cool would it have been to have had a story where the imprisoned Doctor is forced to work with the CIA to solve some unrelated spot of oddness? (The answer is: very.)

Silence of the Astronauts
What better time to talk about Doctor Who’s sixth season than when we’re getting remarkably close to its seventh? I know, right? I’m the man on the scene. But I can’t let it slide. I somehow managed to write nothing about Doctor Who in 2011, and

The Eternity Clock [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-28-doctor-who-the-eternity-clock-review] In this ever-changing world, it’s good to know that some things don’t change. Like Doctor Who games being really, really awful. Though, it doesn’t sound like it’s Destiny of the Doctors awful, so maybe we’re on

Hard Drive Who
This should be the theme for season seven. Well, alright, it might start to grate a little. But I would like a non-orchestral version, just for a change.
Croatia
Trogir
In a twist that’s only exciting if you’re me, our tour through Croatia allowed me to finally get to visit a Doctor Who location. In 2009, they filmed ‘The Vampires of Venice’ in Trogir, another Venetian-influenced, coastal Croatian town, and one that’s a lot cheaper to film

I’m supposed to be writing something on Croatia now, but I keep not doing that. So instead, here’s something I wrote ages ago and forgot about. It’s thrilling. It’s about DVD commentaries. I know, I know, that’s a tautology. I grabbed the Doctor Who season

Bang
You might not expect, for an episode called 'The Big Bang', to get perhaps the quietest season finale we've had since Doctor Who returned. No massive armies; just one Dalek, and not even a fully-functioning one. Oh, alright, and the potential end of the entire universe.

I Can't Stand the Tension
Oh, these stories with their first parts that are almost entirely setting up the next. It’s not fair. On some level I feel cheated, since I’ve gotten 45 minutes of television that was reasonably exciting, generally thrilling, but had it easy because it didn’t have to wrap

life and opinions of andrew rilstone [http://www.andrewrilstone.com/] Some excellent stuff on the new season of Doctor Who (there’s also excellent stuff on older seasons too, and indeed on stuff completely unrelated to Doctor Who).
