Russell T Davies Praises "Stunning" Millie Gibson in #DoctorWho: 73 Yards

Russell T Davies, showrunner of Doctor Who, has confirmed that 73 Yards was a Doctor-lite episode because Ncuti Gatwa’s schedule clashed with Sex Education, but the writer says it worked out for the best as it let Millie Gibson shine on her own. And we have to agree! Gibson plays companions, Ruby Sunday, and Davies was glowing about her “stunning” performance in the episode. He…

RTD2: Bigger on the Inside? Unravelling the Strands of #DoctorWho Series 14

Has Russell T Davies tried to fit too much into too small a season? He had to create a 60th anniversary special before his new star was free to film, show off the range of genres Who can do for a new audience, make a long plot or arc worth sticking around for, provide Easter eggs to keep know-it-all fans busy, launch a platform for extended media and spin-offs, and yes, shape the show in sympathy…

Reviewed: #DoctorWho Series 14 -- Rogue

Doctor Who has always been a progressive and trailblazing series both in front of and behind the camera. From original producer Verity Lambert being integral to the series initial creation in an era when women were hardly given such power in television all the way up to the current era where the Doctor is both coloured and gay, it has never backed away from picking up a mantle for a good cause,…

We all know what fans think of Doctor Who, but what about the viewers who like it but wouldn’t class themselves as fans? What did they make of Dot and Bubble?

For 60 years now, as fans of Doctor Who, we’ve encountered bizarre phenomena having to do with time travel. Quite often, it makes no sense if you put the microscope to it. The unexplainable phenomenon has even been given an unofficial term: “timey-wimey“, because for us, time travel is not possible, and some bits are over our heads.
