Things get intense on this week’s Yonderland, as Debbie puts herself in a sticky situation to rescue… a dude who we’re pretty sure until very recently was definitely a baddie. This can only turn out well! Hey, it’s Tom Meeten! I love him in the things I have seen him in, which now includes this … >
Even the happiest of campers sometimes needs a televisual pick-me-up, and a good episode or two – or six, or twelve, or 813 – of comforting Doctor Who is an especially effective prescription. Here are a few suggestions to elevate your spirits when you’re feeling (TARDIS) blue… ‘The Lodger’ Matt Smith and James Corden … >
This especially terrifying episode of Yonderland features one of the most terrifying things in the entire universe. No, I’m not talking about contemporary global politics, ice cream van music, or my pending loans: I’m talking about clowns. Clowns are scary. No amount of balloon snakes will make me less squirrely about them. It should come … >
While Debbie attempts to convince her husband that Scotland’s not actually that great a place to move to, a new hero emerges in Yonderland to do… heroisms. Let’s be real, guys: this can only end badly, can’t it? But things are going from bad to worse anyway! Cue me pantomime shouting BUT HE’S A VERY … >
Diabolical times have resumed in Yonderland this week, as it seems that the Chosen One’s retirement was decidedly premature.

Jenna Coleman has been lighting up our screens this autumn in Victoria, ITV’s gorgeous historical drama about the English queen’s early days on the throne, and it’d made for truly compelling viewing. The good news for those who have yet to see it – or for those already keen to see it again – is … >
Eight episodes in, and Victoria still hasn’t invented the Victoria sponge. I suppose the queen has rather more pressing matters on her mind in this episode; namely, the tiny royal growing in her belly, and crackpots at every turn. Not even queens are safe from Those Dudes who simply have no sense for when it’s … >
Poor, poor Victoria. What an almighty hassle it must be, being such a subject of public scrutiny every time you feel a little barfy in the middle of a music performance – and indeed, the sense of tension and unease is captured beautifully in this episode’s opening scene. Turns out Vic and Bert made babies! … >
If there’s anything that goes to show quite nicely that politics are a load of old nonsense, it’s that in this episode of Victoria, a good deal of fuss is kicked up over who gets to walk into a dinner party first. As if there aren’t more pressing matters to concern oneself with, such as … >
