"Would you care for some tea?"

The Daleks. A creature interwoven into the fabric of Doctor Who as much as the Doctor and the TARDIS itself. We're always going to have Dalek stories (and Cyberman ones) but someone really needs to work out how to write them well. Since season 1s 'Dalek', we've had numerous ones already in the new show, parts of which have been extremely good, the overall sum of which have generally been below average, with each time the Daleks 'wiped from history' only to return, miraculously 5 or 6 episodes later. So, how can the new writing team handle the Doctors big bads?

Thoughts & Musings on 6x12 “Everybody Loves Hugo”

"Dead people are more reliable than alive people"

Hurley, one of the most like able characters on the show gets his flash sideways episode finally. Following on from last weeks brain melter, this one slots a number of threads started last week into the plot and carries on moving things along very nicely ...

"I can't take you back, the Island isn't done with you yet"

Desmond episodes are normally some of the best and this is no exception. It really is a bit of a brain melter but probably the best of the season so far ...

“This isn't going to be big on dignity”

The second episode of Steven Moffats reign with Matt Smith as the Doctor brings us a little sci-fi fairy tale with some good scary moments and again something for all the family to enjoy. It may not be as strong as 'The Eleventh Hour', but if this is one of the series weaker entries, season 5 should be more than a pretty good season.

Doctor Who - The Eleventh Hour review

"No TARDIS, No Screwdriver and 2 minutes to spare. Who da man!"

Doctor Who returned to our screens on April 3rd under the much anticipated control of Stephen Moffat, writer of many of the previous 4 seasons best episodes, plus a new Doctor and assistant. How does the first episode pan out then, as Moffat moves from writing a couple of episodes a season to doing the bulk of the work, can the quality hold up and will Matt Smith be at ease with the role and take over from the very popular David Tennant?
