Jack's surprise appearance on the show earlier in the season did remind me how much I miss Jack's spinoff series. Well, the BBC brought out a half-hour video compilation of the first season of Torchwood to remind us of just how much we miss it… give it a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziad_4XnzWA&t=210sVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Series[...]

BBC's Doctor Who sparked off a storm of debate and hand-wringing amongst fans in the Series 12 finale "The Timeless Children" It was one of those "everything you knew was wrong!" types of retcons that are the vogue for Science Fiction and superhero stories these days Love it or hate it, the new lore is[...]

"Doctor Who & The Script That Just Didn't Work" For starters, The Doctor[...]

She comes from a time before Gallifrey was destroyed. BBCJo Martin, a series regular on the BBC's hospital drama Holby City, took to the role like she was always the Doctor She exuded authority, command, and a no-nonsense ruthlessness that shocked even the 13th Doctor Fans loved her and took to her immediately. This Doctor might just[...]

Mandip Gill's Yaz is expected to return, joining Jodie Whittaker's Doctor and showrunner Chris Chibnall for Series 13. Though the special has apparently been filmed, details of their departure are being kept under wraps – with the UK media news site reporting there's a very strong possibility that Walsh and Cole could return as recurring characters[...]

Only a day after Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall offered fans a tease for upcoming special "Revolution of the Daleks" (expected to materilize late 2020/early 2021, holiday season), we're getting news that not all of the Doctor's (Jodie Whittaker) companions will be back for Series 13. Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Mandip Gill[...]

Stories such as Remembrance of the Daleks and Silver Nemesis were intended to suggest that he was more powerful and mysterious figure than previously thought.  The Cartmel Masterplan was used as a guide for the subsequent Doctor Who: New Adventures novels licensed from the BBC and published by Virgin, and revelations about the Doctor's origins[...]

From his thoughts on both the episode overall and how the Doctor's history has been rewritten to how "Brain of Morbius" comes into play, there's a lot that needs to still be unpacked. Thankfully, viewers won't have to wait long for the Doctor's return, with Jodie Whittaker set to reunite with companions Ryan, Yaz and Graham[...]

Apropos of nothing, let's rewatch a certain clip from Doctor Who: Brain Of Morbius that everyone suddenly wants to rewatch. The fifth serial of the 13th

We've all just seen the Doctor Who finale, The Timeless Children, over in the UK. And let's say, while it answered some questions it asked others, and

Well... that was no Robots of Sherwood. We've all just seen the Doctor Who finale, The Timeless Children, over in the UK. And let's say, while it answered

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. It's a bit odd that no outlets really wrote about the show after its pilot Christmas show that aired over the holidays It follows the antics of the fictional Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society,[...]

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.

Yes, yes, this is late, I was watching The Taming Of The Shrew last night, sometimes compting culture conflicts. So as watched on the iPlayer this

Once Doctor Who Series 12 brought the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) back to BBC One and BBC America screens to kick off our new year, it wasted no time throwing our heroes into a grand adventure filled with spies, intrigue, world domination, and…[...]
