It’s widely reported (so must be true!) Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole will leave Doctor Who after Revolution of the Daleks (eg the Metro: Doctor Who’s Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole ‘quit series and will leave at Christmas’. I’ve been predicting this for a while even if I thought the change would happen during Sunday’s…

Doctor series 12 update, but…
Over on Starburst Magazine there’s a new piece of news appeared today (Sunday 18 November, 2018) and it’s all about series 12. At first glance it looks like good news (see DOCTOR WHO: BBC Confirm Series 12 to Broadcast in 2019), but read to the end…
Arachnids in the UK review
Arachnids in the UK, felt to me like a more traditional (ie since 2005) episode of Doctor Who, with some horror, some silliness, conflict, coincidence and a bit of gimmickry. I enjoyed it, despite feeling it had many flaws some of which I’ll talk about here. I note the episode did better in the overnights than Rosa,…
Rosa review
On the day BBC Radio 6 Music brought us an engrossing documentary marking fifty years since the Black Power protests, with Don Letts and The 6 Music Black Power Soundscape, the Thirteenth Doctor found herself in 1955 for Rosa Parks act of defiance in the eponymous episode Rosa. It was a moving, powerfully told piece of drama, and respectful…
The Woman Who Fell to Earth review
So, all the wait is over and we’ve had the first episode of a new era for Doctor Who. The Doctor is female, younger and despite all the external changes, still very much the Doctor! I’ve watched it twice, and even slept on it, so hopefully my thoughts are more measured than they might have been….
Final thoughts ahead of Jodie Whittaker’s debut in The Woman Who Fell to Earth
Apologies for the lengthy title, I just wanted a couple of posts giving a before and after for tonight’s return of Doctor Who. I’m broadly positive, intrigued to see how the new characters get introduced and want to see how Jodie Whittaker makes the role her own. I’m buoyed up by the spoiler-free BBC review, Doctor Who:…
Musical episode of Doctor Who revealed [April Fool]
In a leak guaranteed to sow discord amongst fans, Norwegian Composer Olaf Poril has revealed he has composed the songs for a forthcoming musical episode of Doctor Who. New companion Bradley Walsh is expected to feature heavily in this episode, given his recent chart success with Chasing Dreams, the best-selling British debut album of 2016.
Is Sharon D Clarke the new Missy?
The BBC has finally announced the new format episodes for series 11, Bradley Walsh and more: Meet the cast on the all new series of Doctor Who!. We are told a few things but not everything. Bradley Walsh is playing Graham, Tosin Cole plays Ryan and Mandip Gill plays Yasmin. No more than that. No sense…
Could Michael French be TARDIS bound?
The latest Doctor Who rumour (as I write) is of Bradley Walsh being a companion for Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor. There’s some logic to this idea (eg the Metro: Bradley Walsh is tipped to travel in the Tardis) even if they can’t capitalise TARDIS correctly. This includes Chris Chibnall having worked with Bradley before and his appearance in the Sarah…
