Well, here we are. It seems like a very long time, doesn't it, since we last saw any new Doctor Who? I wonder whether or not that will colour our reactions to the Xmas special, airing more or less right now on BBC One? Well, buckle up for the superheroic shenanigans we are apparently about to witness, and please feel free to share your thoughts ( Read more... )

Well, here we are again, with the culmination on what has, I think, been overall rather a good year for Doctor Who. That's right, it's the Christmas Special, The Husbands of River Song, a story featuring...well, River Song and her husbands, I suppose. Will it be any good?

I don't know whether you've seen this already, but I thought I'd post a link to the short clip the BBC have released as a preview of the forthcoming series finale Hell Bent. I'm not sure whether the video will actually work for those outside the UK, but in any case be warned because even the page it's on contains numerous SPOILERS!

SPOILERS AHOY!

Following the shocking conclusion of Face the Raven, the grand Series 9 finale continues this week with Heaven Sent. And this one, I suspect, is going to be regarded as either an instant classic or a real oddity depending on how well it turns out.
