The episode would have got away with just being exceptionally dull, if it weren’t for the ending. It’s clearly a cost-saving episode, set mostly in the sewers (studio) but the […]

This supremely confident but embarrassingly schlocky episode is a guilty pleasure; a favourite that doesn’t disappoint. It retreads a well-worn Avengers plot – the doppelganger – that, even if we discount […]
