Doctor Who: Cat’s Cradle: Witch Mark by Andrew Hunt

Posted on September 4, 2019 by Adam Randall

The Cat’s Cradle story arc in the Doctor Who New Adventures is nowhere near as cohesive as the Timewrym one. They all deal with the TARDIS being damaged (which happens in Time’s Crucible) but are otherwise not connected – so … Continue reading →

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Adam Randall

I really enjoyed the first season of adventures for the Thirteenth Doctor and I hope that we will, in future, be blessed with many more. One criticism I’ve seen is that the current incarnation of the character is ‘too nice’ … Continue reading →

Jodie Whittaker’s Brilliant Thirteenth Doctor

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Adam Randall

Yesterday, Jodie Whittaker’s first series in Doctor Who came to an end. Some people love her, some people hate her (just like every other Doctor) and as a rabid fan of the entire Doctor Who universe, I thought I’d take … Continue reading →
