There is a song by Paloma Faith called “Picking Up The Pieces” that kept popping in to my head whilst I listened to this release, because that really is what the Doctor appears to be doing in this story. The … Continue reading →

Legacy of Death is the second part of a story started last month with The Paradox Planet, if you have not heard that I suggest you do before proceeding any further as this is going to get a bit complicated. … Continue reading →

REVIEW – THE AVENGERS – STEED & MRS PEEL (VOL 1)

Ed Watkinson — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 11:50:55 +0000

Mrs Peel, were needed! The four words that defined my TV experience in the early 1990’s. I sort of remembered The Avengers from the early 1980’s but it was the repeats on Bravo in the early 1990’s that made me … Continue reading →

REVIEW – TORCHWOOD: ZONE 10

I was really sad when Toshiko was killed off at the end of Torchwood series 2 – she was my favourite character and I thought that she had a lot more to offer than we were shown on screen. Tosh … Continue reading →

REVIEW – THE PARADOX PLANET

Ed Watkinson — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 20:48:18 +0000

Lets face it, Doctor Who is completely bonkers and I am proud of its bonkersness (is that even a word?) and why shouldn’t I be? What other show can claim to have had The Web Planet, The Underwater Menace, The … Continue reading →

REVIEW – THE PETERLOO MASSACRE

Ed Watkinson — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 14:11:38 +0000

REVIEW – TORCHWOOD: THE VICTORIAN AGE

Ed Watkinson — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 20:56:39 +0000

There was once a film called “Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter”, it sounded good, the trailers were good. It bored me. I actually fell asleep before the end. A fantastic premise – an historic President of the United States of … Continue reading →

REVIEW: DOOM COALITION 2

Ed Watkinson — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 20:23:01 +0000

Frankie Howerd knew of course, he knew the rules – when it came to storytelling there was no limit to Francis’ genius… add in your own titters and oo-er missus at this point. But he did – because for every … Continue reading →
