This final Early Adventure of the first run uses one of Doctor Who’s most short lived line-ups; that of the First Doctor, Steven and Sara Kingdom.

Doctor Who’s tenth consecutive Christmas special was a monster horror story which allowed a certain festive icon some room to shine, as well as providing Clara with the chance to see Danny once again. It also threw a few nods in the direction of The Thing, Alien and Inception with an isolated polar base, face-hugging … >
The third release in the Early Adventures range slides slightly further down the programme’s timeline to reunite the TARDIS team of Steven and Vicki. Set around the start of the third season, with Vicki name-checking Chumblies from ‘Galaxy 4’, ‘The Bounty of Ceres’ finds them arriving in humanity’s near future. The story begins on board … >

Despite some periods off screen, their unique design has always kept them in the public consciousness and any match between the Daleks … >
After a swift six episode run Atlantis is taking its mid-season break – a function of the later start caused by Doctor Who returning to the autumn schedules – and it is a chance to catch our breath. With a more dramatic and action packed tone, the show has certainly covered some ground in those … >
