What If... The Timeless Child Revelations Happened a Different Way?

What If... The Timeless Child Revelations in #DoctorWho Happened a Different Way?

I complain that Chris Chibnall screwed up the Timeless Child idea, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is, and giving my thoughts on how another approach might have worked a bit better. For the record, it’s not that the very concept of the Timeless Child is totally unthinkable or impossible. After all, Philip Hinchcliffe, Robert Holmes, and those gang of pranksters loaded up The Brain of…

Doctor Who and the Martin Era: Reassessing Fugitive of the Judoon

#DoctorWho and the Martin Era: Reassessing Fugitive of the Judoon

When it comes to revisiting episodes in the different eras of Doctor Who, I’ve gone on massive Capaldi, Smith, Tennant, and Eccleston binges in the past. Same with the Bakers, Pertwee, Troughton, and Hartnell from the classic era. There’s just so much great stuff. Just yesterday, I did the Martin binge. You remember the Martin era, surely? Well, the Martin era really consists of only one…

Celebrate 15 Years of Revived Doctor Who With Aldred, Patel, and Guerrier

Ah, 2005. If you were alive in ’05, you might remember that YouTube debuted on the interwebs, Prince Charles married Camilla, Hurricane Katrina battered the southern US, and London won the right to host the 2012 Olympics. Oh, yeah… and some guy named Russell T. Davies brought a certain time-travelling adventure series back to our screens!
A decade-and-a-half on, the revitalized Doctor Whois…

Here's What The Doctor Who Companion Thought of Fugitive of the Judoon

It would appear that the musical group, STOMP is visiting Gloucester because there are lots of loud noises and the ground is shaking. Or maybe it’s the platoon of Judoon, marching through, completely ignoring intergalactic law forbidding them on Earth. Either way, they’re looking for a fugitive. But who could it be…?
That was Fugitive of the Judoon, a surprising episode for two main reasons:…

Reviewed: Doctor Who - Fugitive of the Judoon

WARNING: Please read every sentence of this review with the words, ‘I think’ in front of them. If you liked Fugitive of the Judoon, then good for you. I didn’t. I thought it was unmitigated rubbish. There. I have given you a precis of my review! Remember, too, that my views don’t represent everyone at the DWC – that’s how opinions work. So:

What Did You Think of Doctor Who: Fugitive of the Judoon?

It’s no longer a Judoon platoon upon the moon; instead, the great big space rhinos are marching around Gloucester because of course they are. Remember the excitement Chris Chibnall tried to generate when they announced that the Judoon would be back in Doctor Who Series 12, soon before the aliens were spotted in Gloucestershire? As a fan of the Judoon (I love Smith and Jones!), I was certainly…

Series 11 Scripts Were Originally Written For A Male Doctor
