Many people assumed that the Saxon Master would escape and regenerate into Missy, but that was never absolutely clear. BBC Then-showrunner Steven Moffat is the cleverest screenwriter in the world He's the envy of screenwriters and writing students everywhere for being very clever, sometimes too clever He's also a responsible producer who knows not to break the[...]

BBC's Doctor Who Series 12 finale this coming Sunday promises big changes to the show's lore It's all about Gallifrey and how everything we thought we knew was wrong Of course, the BBC saw fit to put together a video primer about the Doctor's home planet as both a summary and way to get newer[...]

It's all been building up to this, folks: after a "summer blockbuster"-like run of nine episodes, the BBC's Doctor Who Series 12 is coming to a close with season finale "The Timeless Children" – and by the time the dust settles, The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Ryan (Tosin Cole) are[...]

But is there something even bigger coming? Bleeding Cool reader John Joshua noticed that the Saturday before The Timeless Children, BBC One has a "no listings available" half-hour slot in their schedules at 6pm. This is the kind of slot that the BBC used to announce that both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi would be playing[...]

Marketing synergy: that's why the BBC knows what to do with Doctor Who now Since the Cybermen are the baddies in the 2-part season finale starting this Sunday ("Ascension of the Cybermen" and extended 65-minute wrap-up "The Timeless Children"), it was their turn to get the video treatment – and they get a lengthy one. The[...]

The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Ryan (Tosin Cole) have had to face threats old and new – with dangers coming from every direction… and every corner of time and space.

For this go-around, we have none other than showrunner Chris Chibnall – who's finished talking cybermen and now has a few things to say about… Series 13?

Between multi-Doctors, a "regenerated" Master, a Timeless Child, and Mary Shelley, the first eight episodes felt like a Michael Bay movie if someone gave two rat's asses about storyline, dialogue, and quality acting. So why not the Cybermen, right? Patrick O'Kane as Ashad, Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor – Doctor Who _ Season 12, Episode 9 –[...]

Okay, so it's one of the most famous nights of literature revisited by the Doctor... we've all just seen it in the UK, spoilers for those who haven't...

Got to love that title - Ascension of the Cybermen - feels very eighties Doctor Who. But this iteration of the Borg-inspirers looks anything but,

While we may be only a few weeks away until the BBC's Doctor Who wraps its twelfth series, viewers will be glad to know that news is already buzzing about Series 13 Show producer Tracie Simpson revealed (and Radio Times is supporting) at the Gallifrey One fan convention that filming would commence in September of[...]

The Goes Wrong Show just finished its first season on BBC One in the UK and has been renewed for a second series.

The BBC released a Doctor Who video compilation of our TARDIS traveller's best speeches – and it's actually a half-hour long Pretty impressive running time for what's billed as "Part 1". The Doctor always made speeches As a patrician authority figure, the character was pretty much built to do that: the "reassuring one"… the one who[...]

It's tough to argue that the BBC gave Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's limited series Dracula a definitive ending when you're talking about a character who has a habit of coming back to life Which raises the obvious question about the three-episode series: so when are we getting a second season? While nothing's moving forward[...]

So with a red-hot season comes a ton of episode examining by the fans – and in the case of episode "Can You Hear Me?", there's a moment between the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) that many feel portrayed the Doctor as dismissive or insensitive.

Hut hey, maybe Titan and Big Finish would like a look at some of those Neil Gaiman-edited pitches?

Horror podcast The Horror Show from comics creator Brian Keene, just celebrated its 250th episode, with guest Joe Hill[...]
