LUX

This was my most anticipated episode of the season and is my favourite 15th Dr story so far. Lux Imperator/Mr. Ring - a - Ding is one of the best villains we've had in years, and I hope he comes back, plus the whole episode was visually striking. (1/2)

THE ROBOT REVOLUTION

It's much better than 'Space Babies', and it made me interested and excited in the show again. I liked the BelindaChandra robots and thought they made for a good 'Monster of the Week'. Varada Sethu, as Belinda, was undoubtedly the highlight here, and she was great. (1/2)

Donald Pelmear (1924 - 2025)

I'm very sorry to read in the latest issue of DWM, he passed away in January aged 100! He played Professor Rubeish in the 3rd Doctor story The Time Warrior. I met him in 2023 and he was so happy to see everyone & he told me how much he enjoyed working on the story. RIP

INFAMY OF THE ZAROSS

I haven't had so much fun listening to a BF story like I did here in a while. It took the 'Earth Invasion' concept in a different direction, which was welcome, plus we get Jackie Tyler, fighting aliens in space!! It's now one of my favourite stories.

Nice, it's good to have confirmation when the next series starts. Admittedly, the new 8am drop doesn't affect me too much as I always watched the last season in the morning anyway.

Looks like I'll be meeting Belinda Chandra in July!! I'm looking forward to meeting her.. #DoctorWho

MOST WANTED - THE DIMENSION OF LOST THINGS

It was great to have a story that explores the Fugitive Doctor's time working for Division and the lengths Cosmo will go to capture her. Plus, I thought the chase sequences were fun, and the concept was interesting and was executed well.

RIP Mary Peach (1934 - 2025)

I am very sad to hear she has passed. She played Astrid Ferrier in the 2nd Doctor story, 'The Enemy of the World'. I met her in 2023, and she was so sweet; telling me how happy she was that the story had been found and people could finally watch it and re - evaluate it.

MOST WANTED - THE LEGEND OF BABA YAGA

I felt it was really clever how the fantasy & sci - fi elements were woven together, and I did not expect it to end how it did. Jacqueline King did an excellent job at making Baba Yaga creepy & menacing. However, I would have liked more of the Division here.

MOST WANTED - FAST TIMES

A solid introduction for the Fugitive Doctor on BF, it's straightforward but still enjoyable. Jo Martin is clearly enjoying herself here, plus her interactions with the Daleks are very funny. Alice Krige is also good as Cosmo and makes quite the impression.

I had a great time, on Sunday, at @dwasonline.bsky.social Vengeance on Varos 40th Anniversary screening. Seeing the story on the big screen gave me a new appreciation for it, and the Q&A was insightful into how the story was made. Plus, all the guests were very nice and chatty.

I had a great night yesterday seeing Ballet Shoes. I didn't know what the story was about, but I was pleasantly surprised as it's very emotional & funny. All the cast and crew did an excellent job. I tried meeting Pearl Mackie, but she didn't do Stage Door yesterday,noneless I still had a good time.

At the Olivier Theatre seeing Pearl Mackie on stage tonight.

CLASSIC DOCTORS, NEW MONSTERS - FIVE HUNDRED WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER

It's my favourite story from the set as it's lots of fun hearing the 8th Dr having a boyfriend and dodge the Monks, and it was clever how he meets them without contradicting Series 10 by not using a mindwipe or resetting it.

CLASSIC DOCTORS, NEW MONSTERS - THE KRILLITANE RELIC

A decent if predictable story. Given what happened in the first story of the set, I could see the twist coming but I liked what it done with the Krillitanes plus the 7th Dr & Ray make for an great team and I'm curious to know how she joins him.

CLASSIC DOCTORS, NEW MONSTERS - THE DYING BREED

Having multiple Lupari here makes them more interesting as it allows us to explore their race and how they function. Miriam Margoyles is very good as Soothsayer and how K9 is used was very amusing. Also, this type of story suited Leela perfectly.

It was a fun Saturday at the BFI, watching #DoctorWho on the big screen with Spearhead from Space; my first time seeing a 3rd Doctor story this way. The new restoration looks fantastic, and it makes me excited for Season 7, plus all of the guest panels were insightful & entertaining as always.

CLASSIC DOCTORS, NEW MONSTERS - THE KRILLITANE FEINT

The typical 2nd Dr format of base under seige is very effective here, and I liked what was done with the Krillitanes as they felt like a formidable threat. The twist in the third act I did not see coming, and all of the regulars are very good.
