Doctor Who fans are STILL craving a UNIT spinoff series - but has UNIT ever REALLY saved the day or are they always the show's "redshirts"?

In "The Legend of Ruby Sunday," Doctor Who starts answering the questions from the season with callbacks and deep cuts to past stories.

Describing the two-episode as a "monumental climax" to the season, Davies teases resisting a conversation during "The Giggle" when "Triad" was mentioned in passing – it's clear that was a seed that's about to bear some deadly fruit.

In Doctor Who S01E06: "Rogue," Richard E. Grant was revealed as a "lost" Doctor. Could it be from the forgotten audio "Scream of the Shalka"?

"Rogue" is the type of story Doctor Who does quite well, commenting on tropes while also updating them to offer new and unique perspectives.

A Regency Era "Rogue" has taken over our spoiler-free review of Doctor Who for this week, which happily tackles Bridgerton - with aliens.

"Doctor-Lite" Doctor Who episodes have become a staple of the series and "sandboxes" for some truly creative and experimental storytelling.

In "Dot and Bubble," Doctor Who attacks social media addiction as a tool of Capitalism and offers the battle cry, "DEATH TO INFLUENCERS!"

Everyone wonders what The Ghostly Old Woman says in Doctor Who: "73 Yards" that causes people to flee in terror - but you can work it out.

In "Dot and Bubble,", Doctor Who lets its "Black Mirror" flag fly with a Sci-Fi satire about technology that's not lacking in political bite.

"73 Yards" may have confused some Doctor Who viewers, but it has become a favourite amongst many LGBTQ fans for its metaphors for coming out.

In Doctor Who, we're never told why the old woman in "73 Yards" is terrifying, but we have a theory involving the mystery of Cosmic Horror.

In "73 Yards," Russell T. Davies once again shows that even in Doctor Who, the worst, scariest monsters are the human ones - as in real life.

"73 Yards" starts out as a British folk horror episode of Doctor Who but it takes a left turn into something deeper, odder - and political.

But Davies didn't stop by the show's official podcast empty-handed – that's right, we also have a preview clip to pass along: "This land is a powerful place…" ✨ One week til 73 YARDS #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/oCptZq3hAi — Doctor Who (@bbcdoctorwho) May 18, 2024 "73 YARDS" (Writer: Russell T Davies; Director: Dylan Holmes Williams) 73 YARDS Writer: Russell T Davies Director: Dylan Holmes[...]

"73 Yards" is one of the weirdest episodes of Doctor Who in all the best ways possible - and it travels that weird route in a unique way.

On Doctor Who, the Doctor as the last survivor of a genocide & a foundling who doesn't know their origins redefines the heart of the series.

Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday is the new season-long Doctor Who mystery. Is she The Rani? Susan's daughter? We have some theories to share...
