“The Curse of Peladon” Review

It’s felt like ages since we reviewed a Pertwee story so it’s great to be talking through “Curse” (we’ll leave reviewing The Monster of Peladon for a while ;-)). Quirky aliens, a “who dunnit” plot, political undertones, Venusian akido and some rather silly voices. The ingredients are all there for a great classic Who story but does it all come together or are we stranded on the cliff in the wind and rain?

Thank you for listening and for sending in your thoughts. Next week it’s the 11th Doctor story Night Terrors so look out for the Facebook post to give us your mini-reviews. Until then have an awesome week and remember – Allons-y!

“The Girl in the Fireplace” Review

It’s modern Who this week and we’re spending some time with that cheeky 10th Doctor and this often loved series 2 episode. Having not seen it in a while do we still hold a flame for this one or are we left cold on a deserted space ship?

Thank you as always for listening and your thoughts on our review episode. Next week it’s The Don, the 3rd Doctor when we’ll review The Curse of Peladon. Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

Funko have teamed up with Playmobil to bring us some quite cute looking 4th and 11th Doctor figures.

“An Unearthly Child” Review

To kick off the new year proper, we’re going back to where it all started. Where nobody knew who The Doctor was, or what the TARDIS was or meant? Where the realm of BBC sci-fi was dipping it’s experimental toes in the water. Yes, we’re looking at the very first episode of Doctor Who – An Unearthly Child.

Thank you for for listening as always. Our review story next week is the Tennant story – The Girl in the Fireplace. Until then have a fantastic week and remember – Allons-y!

“The Return of Doctor Mysterio” Review

Ah, another Doctor Who Christmas Special, another opportunity for the Moff to give us a proper festive and awesome story. Are Adam and Garry on the same page with this one or does it fizzle out like a cold Christmas pudding?
