Big Finish is continuing the somewhat surreal story of Rory Williams in some style with a trip to Camelot. And why not? He’s been reincarnated from nowhere, become an Auton (and then that got forgotten), done Stonehenge and watched a strange alien cube for centuries. Here’s what Big Finish has to say about it…

Lone Centurion volume 1 details revealed
Big Finish has announced details for Lone Centurion Volume 1. It’s billed (unofficially) as Flash Gordon meets Thor Ragnarök meets Gladiator but as a British audio drama. What’s not to like? Full details from Big Finish below…
Black Archive: The God Complex
Another occasional look at a Black Archive release, and this time it’s Paul Driscoll’s take on The God Complex. Paul has plenty to say in this rather thorough analysis, covering 184 pages, and a quick peek at his credentials lets us know this might be an academic tome (Paul is a theology postgraduate from Oxford). If I have…
I chat Vampires of Venice on Kasterborous
Over on Kasterborous I contributed to the article: NUWHO 10TH ANNIVERSARY: WHAT IS SERIES 5’S MOST UNDERRATED STORY? Unlike the previous article in this run (Planet of the Dead on Kasterborous) we had a very diverse set of opinions. My choice was Vampires of Venice. Let me know what you think, and what your choice would be (there’s…

The Radio Times recently ran a competition to vote for the best companion ever. The title was won by Rose Tyler who narrowly beat Cpt Jack (also introduced in the Ninth Doctor era). Full details of her victory are here: Rose Tyler triumphs in Doctor Who Companion Champion.
Crossing off the Ponds – Angels Take Manhattan reviewed
As we prepare to ‘cross the pond’ for the end of this run of Doctor Who with The Angels Take Manhattan, we also get ready to cross the Ponds off the list of travelling companions [sic]. I have already made my prediction on how they get written out permanently (see here) but I am sure…
It’s the power of three!
So as we wait for this week’s episode of Doctor Who entitled The Power of Three (here on iPlayer) I am not sure what to make of the trailers. Last week’s Town Called Mercy which I commented on here had mixed reactions and I wonder what people will make of this week’s story which is clearly going to lead…
Get over it
Farewell or au revoir? So, Amy and Rory will leave the show in the next season as the BBC have announced (link no longer available) and this has lead to somewhat mixed reaction. My view is ‘So what?!’, companions come and go, Rose could probably have stayed one more series, and this is a show…
Rory Strikes Back!
How will this play-out? So writing before transmission, and amidst lots of speculation, what are the pieces linking up for this episode? As there is so much interest and clues from the BBC (and many others) I have a whole section (next) on my thoughts. Meanwhile as I write the attention is now turning to…
Time Lord of the Caribbean – Curse of the Black Spot reviewed
Where’s the parrot? So another week goes by and once more we are treated to a visually superb episode of Doctor Who — The Curse of the Black Spot, but is that enough? My continuing sequence of reviews of the latest Eleventh Doctor TV series continue (see elsewhere in this blog for others, including last week’s Day of…
