Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has revealed that the decisions behind the new Doctor’s costume were left to Peter Capaldi. Moffat told SFX: “He wanted to be quite stark. Stark and skinny.

Twelve episodes sooner than normal, we reach the end of the latest season of 24. Live Another Day has been an experiment from the off – a twist on the formula designed to breathe new life into the show and hopefully extend the longevity of the franchise for future seasons – and as we reach … >

Another year, another excellent season of Game of Thrones. We’ve had deaths, we’ve had allegiances form and fall, we’ve had deaths, we’ve had battles galore, we’ve had deaths, and we’ve had plenty of the dramatic twists and turns that one simply expects from Thrones these days (did we mention we’ve also had deaths?!).

Lucy Kirkwood, who penned this episode with Daragh Carville (Cherry Bomb) has clearly enjoyed the slow reveal to everyone’s story. Episode 5 manages a fine juggling act, as … >
