This week it was time for Peter Capaldi to face his toughest challenge yet: a Mark Gatiss written, comedic episode of ‘Doctor Who’. After two weeks of bringing a dark humour to the show and exploring some of the more murky aspects of the Who-verse this week Steven Moffat and his creative team stepped away from the heavy subject matter and took time to craft a more stand alone episode which doesn’t factor in to the slow burning Missy storyline that’s been woven in to the previous two episodes (reviewed here and here). I’m hearing two main arguments against season…

Following on from the strong season opener ‘Deep Breath’ – reviewed here! – ‘Doctor Who’ delves in to much deeper territory with this episode, taking viewers somewhere we’ve never been before… inside a Dalek! Where ‘Deep Breath’ began to take the show along a deeper path by showing the coldness of this new Doctor ‘Into the Dalek’ pushes the series in leaps and bounds along this new trajectory. Secondary characters are sacrificed with a moments notice and in the end not even the heroic acts of the Doctor himself can save a Dalek and turn him good. The episode opens…
It was with great suspense that we sat down as a GYCO family to watch ‘Deep Breath’ the feature-legnth (or slightly longer than normal) opening episode for the eight season of ‘Doctor Who’ which premiered on 23rd August 2014. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will be well aware that ‘Deep Breath’ marks the full debut of new Doctor, Peter Capaldi and when the Doctor regenerates the whole UK watches with bated breath for him to succeed or fail. We’d call this opening episode a success but one that isn’t without its flaws. Lets start with Capaldi, an…

Like many, many other fans of the DC Universe I was pretty shocked that during the ‘Forever Evil’ arc Dick Grayson was unmasked to the world as Nightwing and even more shocked when he was unceremoniously killed off for all the world to see followed by the announcement that the ongoing ‘Nightwing’ title would be coming to an end. Thankfully there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and for Dick Grayson fans that light is ‘Grayson’ a new ongoing title featuring writing by Tim Seeley, plots from Tom King, art by Mikel Janin with colours by Jeromy…
