Thanks to Simon Guerrier and Dr Marek Kukula, we have a view on the time dilation as presented in World Enough and Time. Bottom line is yes, it’s not ridiculous (though the material stresses aren’t discussed), but Simon also mentions some other aspects of the situation worth reading. It’s a post on the Radio Times site: The mind-blowing real…
So, if you didn’t watch World Enough and Time, please don’t read on. This has at least one serious, grade A spoiler. Don’t even look at the picture. Damn! I did warn you. Let’s face it, Bill had a bad day, but knowing Steven Moffat, the chances are it all gets fixed in The Fall of the…
Following the normal patter, the rest of the galleries for World Enough and Time are now available, including the production artwork. I’m a big fan of this, even more so than the behind the scenes photos. I have to say the quality of model building and everything else visual never ceases to amaze me. Long gone…
One thing that bothers me about Doctor Who is deciding if the show is science fiction or fantasy. If pushed I know it’s really a fantasy, but I’d like it to be science fiction; it’s the physicist in me wanting it all to make sense in something close to our universe. Back in the day, in…
In The Lives of Captain Jack, we get to see glimpses of what Jack Harkness did after he first died (and even before) and before he joined Torchwood. In this boxset, we have four stories by two great, and very different writers, Guy Adams and James Goss. In four adventures they take us across a small…
So, part one of the season finalé, the return of John Simms, that moment, that other moment and really a hell of a lot to chew over. Widely lauded as among the best of all ten series of modern Doctor Who, arguably so too, it was damn fine even though (you know me so well) I…
The usual extras are now up for World Enough and Time, including quiz, Master and Missy fact files, and some behind the scenes. No doubt the artwork / extra photos will appear tomorrow. !!! Message Ends !!!
The June 2017 Subscriber Short Trips story is The Horror of Hy-Brasil, written by sound engineer Russell McGee. It’s a cracking Second Doctor,Jamie and Zoe story, and well worth a listen. I was in studio when it was recorded, and it made an impression that has stayed with me. It’s free to main range subscribers whose subscription included Shadow Planet…
So, the finale of Peter Capaldi’s final season begins with World Enough and Time, and we have a couple of short preview clips to tease apart. In a story with a massive spaceship trapped orbiting a black hole, Mondas and its cybermen and Missy having a chance at redemption, this episode is doomed to be known for…
The concept art has now appeared for The Eaters of Light; no big deal, perhaps, but an excuse to show a gorgeous design for the eaters (left). The full set is on the BBC episode page: The Eaters of Light: Production Artwork. +++ Message Ends +++
I penned some thoughts on the June main range dual release Shadow Planet / World Apart for CutBox: Big Finish Doctor Who Shadow Planet/World Apart review. It’s an interesting and very different pair of stories from AK Benedict (Shadow Planet) and Scott Handcock (World Apart). The Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex have plenty to do in these two…
Time to talk last evening’s Twelfth Doctor story The Eaters of Light. Twitter length review: rather splendid with only minor gripes. You want a bit more? Well, I’ll give you more, but be warned, it’s going to be pretty positive stuff! I give away a lot of the story, but not every twist. I hope you have…
