“Demons of the Punjab” Review
This is a powerful, moving return to form – Doctor Who doing something unusual and impressive. You’re not going to stop me griping about one thing, though. Unnecessary aliens.

“The Tsuranga Conundrum” Review
There’s no getting around the fact that Doctor Who just took Nibbler and made him into the Villain of the Week.
“Arachnids in the UK” Review
I’m not a fan of Dennis Spooner’s Gnaws and now I’m not a fan of Chris Chibnall’s remake of it.
“Rosa” Review
I’ve got to admit I had a moment of worry last week when I realise the TARDIS crew were bound for Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. It’s not the kind of […]

“Mission Impossible II (2000)” Review
Tom Cruise is basically playing a different, more watchable Ethan Hunt in this. We get a little insight into what makes him tick in the breathtaking under-the-titles ‘holiday’ sequence. Gone […]
“Mission Impossible (1996)” Review
Owing to my obsessive completism I cannot watch the latest Mission Impossible film, which is getting some good reports, without seeing the previous… [looks up IMDB] … five (already?) films, […]
