Revolution of the Daleks review on Cultbox
I reviewed Revolution of the Daleks on Cultbox. I broadly enjoyed it even if it felt more like a big end of series wrap-up than a special seasonal tale. Loose ends tidied up (a bit), colour-by-numbers Dalek story and a reduction in numbers on board the TARDIS (immediately changed by John Bishop!) I may have…
The Ice Warriors review in the Celestial Toyroom Annual 2021
One thing I didn’t mention in my Celestial Toyroom Annual 2021 news piece, is I wrote the review for The Ice Warriors. It’s fairly critical, explores the predecessors of some of the ideas and suggests how there’s a much better story inside. You can read it for free if you grab the annual from the…

Thoughts ahead of Revolution of the Daleks
I’ve no real expectations ahead of Revolution of the Daleks, partly as I’m growing tired of the show as a whole and inevitably as a consequence of 2020 as a whole (like everyone). We’ve known for ages Graham and Ryan would leave, and the presence of Daleks (even if rather a decent design) covers familiar…

Torchwood 1.8: They Keep Killing Suzie
My Torchwood rewatch has stalled a little, and I’ve neglected to keep the log up to date. I re-watched They Keep Killing Suzie ages ago, and never got around to writing it up! It’s time for Suzie Costello to take centre stage, and that despite being killed already! I was impressed with this episode at…
