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…

Not very excited for Revolution of the Daleks
If you come here often, you’ll have spotted I’ve been a bit quiet recently. I’ve also not had much to say about Revolution of the Daleks, despite the trailer. I’m also not that moved by fan speculation / returning villains / Daleks. I’ve a strong sense of seen it all before or just not that…
And then there was one?
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…
That scene from Can You Hear Me?
When I reviewed Can You Hear Me? I didn’t cover the (very) awkward and odd scene between Graham and the Doctor. He’d had a nightmare about Grace and the return of his cancer. He opened up to the Doctor – she avoided conversation. I felt it very much out of character for a Doctor who’d…
Can You Hear Me? review
In the UK we are spoiled. Every Sunday, the BBC brings us a new episode of a much-loved, long-running drama. We have a varied cast, social messaging, weekly storylines, series arcs and some character development. Enough of Call the Midwife; we first have to deal with the lottery which is Doctor Who. Sometimes rather good,…
Praxeus reviewed
After the excitement and mind-bending mythos changing of last week’s huge Fugitive of the Judoon we settle down withPete McTighe’s Praxeus. Still on Earth can the Thirteenth Doctor and companions save the world, again? Is it worth saving? Let’s find out…
All change in the TARDIS for series 13?
We know Jodie will be back as the Thirteenth Doctor for series 13 of Doctor Who but are Ryan, Graham and Yaz going to be with her? Evidence is starting to suggest maybe not…
Thoughts ahead of Orphan 55
I’m expecting a massive change of pace for the third instalment of series 12, Orphan 55. The title is intriguing and writer Ed Hime wrote one of the more quirky stories of series 11 (It Takes You Away). Will the big arc get a mention? Will the Master appear? I’m thinking no to both. What…
What is Graham doing with the Key to Time in Orphan 55?
As we recover from the twists of Spyfall 2, Chris Chibnall [I assume] continues his weaving of ideas old and new in the Ed Hime story Orphan 55. The BBC has released a new batch of pictures and the one on the left is worth discussion. Lots of discussion. Is that the Key To Time…
Thoughts ahead of It Takes You Away
So, series 11 is approaching its conclusion, and this week’s episode is It Takes You Away by Ed Hime. From his CV (here on United Agents) he’s not only known for his work on Skins, but also a number of BBC radio plays and the Big Talk Productions remake of Sapphire and Steel! I’ve decided that’s all…
Demons of the Punjab review
So, series 11 continues with the Vinay Patel story Demons of the Punjab. For me much more hit than miss with a lot to enjoy, though some elements might have been tweaked for a stronger story. What do I know! Ware the spoilers…
The Tsuranga Conundrum review
More miss than hit for me, the latest Chris Chibnall Thirteenth Doctor story The Tsuranga Conundrum vexed me a lot when I watched it. I’ve calmed down a bit, but this won’t be the most positive of reviews. I’ll try and keep perspective though…
