Well, to use the old Krusty the Clown meme: “What the hell was that?!”. There’s a lot to digest here but so much of it was visual spectacle over any actual sense of plot or well-written dialogue and the return of Omega was absolutely awful for this long-time fan. The Rani was wasted, more heavy-handed social commentary and then we get the final 10 or so minutes and suddenly it was actually well written and interesting… until the last shot. Yes, there’s no point in hiding it, this was Ncuti Gatwa’s regeneration story, and boy that was some cliffhanger… Let’s take a look and try and make sense of it all…

Doctor Who’s latest season continues and manages to deliver a fun episode at last, though one that wasn’t without its usual issue of being subtle as a brick about an important message, so we’re not golden here or anything. Still, some big continuity things / callbacks and The Fifteenth Doctor actually showing a range of emotions other than happy and crying lifts the episode up quite a bit! So let’s take a look…

“The Story and The Engine” is another episode of this Doctor Who series that tells a good story, is well acted and has some positive messages at its heart but once again I find myself longing for something a bit more… Doctor Who-y. I’m happy episodes like this exist but I would prefer not to have so many of them in a row is what I’m saying, throw in a few base under siege / generic alien invasion stories here and there to break things up maybe… Well, anyway, let’s take a look!

Doctor Who’s latest series hits a bit of a roadblock with “Lucky Day”. With only eight episodes this year taking an entire episode and using it to impart a good message but really badly and with The Doctor barely featuring in it is a choice, that’s for sure. Anyone looking for fun escapism in their Doctor Who will be sorely disappointed, I know I was, so let’s take a look so I can start to forget about it.
