Here’s our spoiler-free Doctor Who ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’ review.
This first instalment of a three-part Doctor Who adventure perfectly sets up the finale of Peter Capaldi’s time in the TARDIS. There’s a piece of text going round online and it makes all who read it want to kill themselves. But enough about my review for ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’, we’ve got a new Doctor … >
You could’ve called it ‘Deep Breath’, but it turns out that was taken, so ‘Oxygen’ is a satisfactory title for a blindingly good episode. The Venn Diagram of Doctor Who fans who watch ‘Oxygen’ and fans who enjoy breathing the said same gas will be pretty darn tight. Basically, everyone should enjoy it. The reasons … >
Knock knock Who’s there? Doctor. Doctor who? Doctor Who’s been good so far, hasn’t it? Ha-ha-haaaa.

…Aaaaand breathe. Good news! After a week of worry, it’s with great relief that we learn Steve Arnott is not dead and that his wardrobe of snazzy-backed waistcoats will not have to be distributed among the local charity shops (there’s too many for just one Scope to handle). It’s the biggest Easter miracle since Jesus … >
This will be someone’s first ever episode of Doctor Who. For some kid – or maybe even adult – out there on their sofa, this will be their introduction to fifty-four years of adventure. Bear that in mind when you’re watching ‘The Pilot’. Because it’s easy to remember the first time you encountered Doctor Who, … >
