“I thought we might need a gang,” says the Doctor in ‘Dinosaurs on a Spaceship’. “Never really had a gang before. It’s new.” He’s totally lying, of course. Although it may feel that the enduring Doctor Who line-up is that of the Time Lord and a single, feisty female companion, there have actually been various … >
For a show as beloved as Doctor Who, its fans aren’t half critical of it. Several episodes during the modern era have being crucified for falling short of the expected level of quality.
