The Husbands of River Song
I managed to get to the Christmas Special awhile back, but unfortunately I simply didn’t have the time available to give you my thoughts. Was it perfect? No, no it…

Hell Bent finally takes the Doctor home to Gallifrey, then spends most of its time undoing Clara’s death, which I never quite forgave it for.
A somewhat different episode to the one that I was expecting, Heaven Sent worked – although it wasn’t without its flaws. One thing I’ve come to expect from Capaldi at…
Bang & Kaboom … a major shift in direction here and while it’s one we all saw coming, it’s still somewhat troubling in this excellent episode written by Sarah Dollard.…
The Girl Who Died strands the Doctor and Clara in a Viking village facing the Mire, and ends with a choice that makes a young girl immortal.
Under the Lake traps the Doctor and Clara in an underwater base full of ghosts that kill, in a slow episode rescued by a cracking cliffhanger.
Lets start with the positive on this episode as it must be said, there were some misses, but still quite a bit to like and while this episode was not…
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Many girlish squeals of joy also! 🙂 Now that we’ve got that out of the way, lets get down to it shall we? There…
Last Christmas puts Santa, his elves and some very creepy dream crabs into a Doctor Who Christmas special, and it’s one of the best the show has done.
Death in Heaven ends series 8 with Cybermen in the graveyards and Missy loose. Fitting but depressing, with a couple of bits that jarred for me.
Dark Water kills Danny and finally unmasks Missy, but for me the creepy 3W skeletons can’t save a dishonest volcano twist and a messy finale opener.
In the Forest of the Night covers London in trees overnight. Breathtaking to look at, sharply written, but one Doctor Who fairytale too many for me.
Flatline shrinks the TARDIS, hands Clara the Doctor’s job and fills the walls of Bristol with the Boneless. The creepiest Doctor Who in years.
The Caretaker sends the Doctor undercover at Coal Hill for a funny sitcom hour, but the Skovox Blitzer barely registers next to Danny and Clara.
Doctor Who Listen starts as pure bedtime horror, then tangles itself in time travel. Here’s where Moffat’s mix of scares and Gallifrey lost me.
Into the Dalek is a tight, satisfying Doctor Who hour with a Fantastic Voyage twist, but the Daleks end up as props.
The Big Bang opens brilliantly and ends with Amy’s wedding, but the time-travel escape in the middle left me a bit flat after The Pandorica Opens.
