Well, if there’s one thing we’ve learned tonight, it’s that the writers of Babylon certainly know how to leave us on a heck of a cliffhanger! Seriously, we have to wait how long for the next episode?! Cliffhanger aside, there’s certainly a lot of excellent plotting on offer in this week’s finale. First of all, … >
This third ‘Dark Eyes’ collection for Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor contains a slight change of tack, being entirely Dalek free. Instead, it is styled as “Doctor Vs Master” with the rival Time Lords clashing across the history of humanity’s war with The Eminence.

However, unlike last week, this time the lack of comedy seems to … >
Say what you like about Babylon, but after tonight’s rug-pull ending, you certainly can’t say it’s predictable. The suicide of Commissioner Richard Miller certainly ups the ante for future instalments, a game-changing cliffhanger that left us both reeling and pondering what next for the remaining lead characters, all of whom will no doubt feel the … >
“Seriously? Police sponsorship?
