Doctor Who

“Thin Ice” Review

2nd May 2017 Simon Wood

Another episode that follows the season 36 pattern in being low on plot, high on atmosphere and above all leaving plenty of room to explore the Doctor/Bill dynamic. It’s definitely […]

Doctor Who

“The Pilot” Review

26th April 2017 Simon Wood

The new term has started in Doctor Who and The Pilot comes close to getting a first from me.

Doctor Who

“Hell Bent” Review

12th December 201512th December 2015 Simon Wood

I’ve taken a few days to try to unpick my thoughts about this episode. But it’s a mess. After the finely crafted Face the Raven and the near-perfect Heaven Sent, […]

Doctor Who

“Heaven Sent” Review

3rd December 2015 Simon Wood

I have no idea what to write about Heaven Sent. I was looking forward to it – not least because, with just one actor for the whole episode, it would […]

Doctor Who

“Face the Raven” Review

1st December 201513th December 2015 Simon Wood

  Just as we reach the episodes I’ve most been looking forward to this season, I’ve unavoidably fallen behind. At the time of writing, Heaven Sent has aired but I […]

Doctor Who

“Sleep No More” Review

16th November 201516th November 2015 Simon Wood

I like it that Doctor Who is still experimenting in its 52nd year. But experiments wouldn’t be experiments if they never fail. Actually this wasn’t a bad episode (the low-for-Doctor-Who AI of […]

Doctor Who

“The Zygon Inversion” Review

8th November 201512th November 2015 Simon Wood

Almost flawless up until the last 2 minutes, but with a careless epilogue that undid much of the good work. I said last week that Osgood was the moral nucleus […]

Doctor Who

“The Zygon Invasion” Review

3rd November 20154th November 2015 Simon Wood

Being a kids show, I’d have considered Doctor Who ill equipped to tackle the very hardest issues dominating the news at present – terrorism, migration, so called ‘radicalisation’. This, of […]

Doctor Who

“The Woman Who Lived” Review

26th October 201526th October 2015 Simon Wood

Mysterious, intimate, atmospheric. This sublime sequel to The Girl Who Died is a pared back reflection on immortality – not something new for Doctor Who – but rarely done this well. […]

Doctor Who

Women Writing Doctor Who

23rd October 2015 Simon Wood

On Saturday, the first episode of Doctor Who written by a woman since 2009 will be broadcast. In the 6 years since The Poison Sky there have been 75 episodes […]

Doctor Who

“The Girl Who Died” Review

19th October 2015 Simon Wood

Doctor Who and vikings can’t fail to entertain (I must get around to my review of Dark Horizons) and the gentle pace of this witty and engaging tale affords time […]

Doctor Who

“Before the Flood” Review

14th October 201514th October 2015 Simon Wood

The most important thing in this episode is the Doctor getting his guitar out and playing along to the theme tune. This needs to happen every week, from now on. The monologue […]
