~Spoilers ahead! ~ 12.9 & 12.10 Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children - Chris Chibnall Story & Review I usually consider two-parters as one story - I was waiting for The Timeless Children to air before writing my thoughts down but this felt like two distinct episodes that were conveniently connected by their ending. Ascension [...]
~Spoilers ahead! ~ 12.8 The Haunting of Villa Diodati - Maxine Alderton Story & Review After last week's frustrations, I was ready for this episode to start off promising and to fail in its latter half, reflecting most of the Chibnall-era episodes. I was surprised to find that it was the opposite and I enjoyed [...]

The intergalactic mercenaries are, as the title suggests, after a fugitive. They track them down to Gloucester, England, Earth and erect a force field. Then [...]
~Spoilers ahead! ~ 12.4 Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror - Nina Metivier Story & Review Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror opens with the man himself, appealing to a crowd of potential funders for his next big project: generating electricity using hydropower. This doesn't go well and soon things get worse as his lab is attacked [...]
~Spoilers ahead! ~ 12.3 Orphan 55 - Ed Hime Story & Review Having enjoyed Ed Hime's previous episode for Doctor Who, It Takes You Away, I was expecting a bit more than we got this week. This episode fits in the classic 'base under siege' formula that is old hat for Doctor Who. It had [...]
