And so I finally get to writing my review of The End of Time and the last adventure for the 10th Doctor (not counting future appearances in charity or anniversary specials obviously ).
In true RTD form, for the 10th Doctor’s finale we were treated to a huge epic spectacle, with returning Time Lords, [...]

I’ve always viewed an A-Team remake as a fairly bad idea.  It always struck me as the kind of action, adventure show that you probably wouldn’t get away with making these days.
However, with some very good casting choices, and now this trailer, I’ll be darned if its not looking like they’ve pulled it off.  Obviously [...]

Yikes.  I’ve gotten a bit behind on my blogging.  Needless to say, there’ll be a full post on the End of Time coming soon (short version, I loved it), but in the meantime, here’s the trailer for Matt Smith’s first series coming later this year.   I’m really looking forward to seeing what it brings [...]

I haven’t really talked much about Merlin on this blog for some reason, but with the second series having come to a close this weekend, it seemed like a good reason to revisit it.
For me, this series has undoubtedly been a big success.  Its an interesting world it inhabits.  We, the viewers, know that eventually [...]

One of the new shows I’ve been really enjoying, which just finished its first season on Sci-Fi UK is Warehouse 13.
A Syfy original program, it follows Secret Service Agents Peter Lattimer and Myka Bering who find themselves reassigned from their normal duties to work for Artie Nielsen in the top-secret Warehouse 13 where supernatural artefacts are stored [...]

With last night’s episode Justice, we’ve hit the halfway point in the first season of Universe, so I thought I’d jot down some of my feelings so far.
After a strong opening with Air, after a few episodes, I was starting to feel the show was getting a bit bogged down by its character-heavy approach.  Specifically [...]

This series of Sarah Jane Adventures has really flown past.  I guess that’s the effect of the two episodes a week format, but I couldn’t believe it was already the finale.
And this year, it was the return of those favourite monsters, the Slitheen.  While their appearances in the parent show have always been controversial (I [...]

With his presence noticeably absent for the last few stories, this two-parter gave Luke some much-needed focus this series.
That said, I’m not entirely sure it worked. I didn’t entirely buy his falling out with Sarah Jane although the idea of Luke becoming more like a normal teenager is an interesting one that deserves [...]

Now that was rather good.
The production team had previous said that Planet of the Dead had deliberately been a light-hearted runaround to compensate for how dark the remaining specials were going to be, and Waters of Mars did not disappoint.
From the outset it was obvious we were in for something different, as from the moment [...]

Following on from The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith was always going to be a tough job.   How do you follow up having the Doctor guest star?
With a really solid story apparently.
This was a pretty standard haunted house affair.  Sarah Jane, Clyde and Rani head out to help Professor Rivers investigate a haunted Manor [...]
