Aliens invented capitalism

I’m so glad The Sarah Jane Adventures is nothing like this

For such an important episode this doesn’t half drag on!

Not sure I understood it. But it was interesting, I’ll give it that!

This is the future I want to see.

I can’t believe they had Jacqueline Hill back but instead of casting her as Barbara again and having a wonderful reunion with The Doctor they make her a priestess. It’s like if Billy Piper returned to the show and instead of casting her as Rose she is playing someone different… oh wait, bad example 😁

The story was awful, as were the special effects. Tom Baker was delightful as always though and I’m really warming up to Romana II.

This story is almost legendary, having never been finished but then been recreated. Shame it’s not Adams’ best work. City of Death was much better.

Doctor Who versus the cock and balls. I actually thought this was well scripted and well acted on the whole! I really liked it.

Watched in anticipation of Pinhead being added to Dead by Daylight. Did not like.

It's either very gay or very homophobic, not sure which really.

The best episode of Classic Who yet, and it is a classic! Absolutely brilliant!

Oh dear this is terrible - the Daleks are constantly referred to as “robots” and “computers” but they are creatures in tanks! So the whole plot doesn’t make sense. Plus Davros sounds wrong and Romana’s regeneration is insultingly bad.

A satisfying end to the trilogy of movies, they were very good!

Massive anticlimax to the series-long story arc (if you can call it that!). Just bad.

I really loved Part 2 of the trilogy, a much better atmosphere!

I actually quite enjoyed this one. It’s like Avatar except they are green instead of blue and there’s a giant squid monster.

So apparently they have the technology to seemingly instantly create a totally lifelike android replica of anyone, and yet they use it in the most stupid way ever. Also this totally lost me when there just happened to be Romana’s doppelgänger here too and she’s the princess, I mean what are the odds? And why does a story with android duplicates also need human duplicates? It’s a mess!

Tom Baker is funny as always though and for that it gets 2 stars!

Love a good slasher flick, some great 90s nostalgia (that’s when I was a teenager!) and surprisingly gory and sexy for what at first might seem like for kids. 

I’m not that happy with how it ended but let’s see how the trilogy pans out!

Also: yay, lesbians!

Better than What but still pretty basic humour, lots of dick jokes. Really not for me. The last song was very good though, that’s about all I can say for it.

Watched this after watching (and loving) “Inside”. I cringed through most of it. It was just ugh.

The stones are just too slow to be threatening!

A very imaginative story although somewhat let down by the special effects and the budget! Douglas Adams has a lot of fun here.

The first episode was intriguing. But then it was all downhill from there. Irritatingly nonsensical and made the TARDIS look like a community centre. I can see where Moffat got the idea of there being a swimming pool in the TARDIS, I just never thought I’d see a Sontaran trip over a deck chair. 

Embarrassing. And Leela deserved better.

K-9 had it right. “Negative!”

I actually really liked this one. The Collector was genius, bring him back to New Who!

Absolutely awful. One star for the Grandma character, who was brilliant.

The first half is a really interesting ethical dilemma and Gravity meets The Martian. But the ending ruins it all.

It was bizarre. But I kinda loved it!

This is just so beautiful!

This is a difficult one to rate because it’s a very good serial, probably the best of the season, but it is incredible racist.

Doesn’t really go anywhere.
