'The Impossible Planet'

Exploration!


That’s the name of the game in this show (that and running) and this week we’re doing a bit of both as the Doctor (Doctor Who) and Rose (Billie) take one of their trips to a planet that, as Davey Tennant reliably tells us, is quite impossible.


And, would you believe it, there’s a fair number of mysteries knocking about there. We’re talking hieroglyphic acne, telepathic spaghetti men and, most shocking of all, Rose’s phone signal is, like, proper shit. These myriad mysteries demand answers and you’re certainly not going to get any this week as this is the first entry in a two-parter - one that we traditionally view very fondly - but has memory fitted us with billie-tinted spectacles, or is this a work of unmitigated genius?


There’s only one way to find out and that’s to ride this mother all the way down - like a rollercoaster!

'The Idiot's Lantern'

Oh, you thought we were out for the count, but you were SO WRONG!


Yep, we’ve been on hiatus for months and months and months whilst we focused on our reviews for the final season of ‘Mad Men’ and our retrospective of the ‘Jurassic Park’ franchise (‘cos they were doing another one, did you hear about that? I think it’s done okay financially) - but now those two heaving beasts are in the rearview mirror and now we can get back to focusing on the adventures of an elderly nomad who exclusively wants to hang out with young, beautiful women.


This time, he’s trying to impress his latest squeeze with a trip to 1953 to the coronation of Princess Leia, or someone. It’s an event where the nation gathered in unified self congratulation and celebrated their unique, strangely indefinable British-ness the only way they knew how - by inviting themselves into other people’s living rooms unbidden and pretending to like one another. But Princess Leia (or someone) ain’t the only lady on the telly, and the other one has quite the appetite - so, sing the national anthem ('we will rock you’), bungle Gran into a van, and buy a cut price TV - because we’re hungry!
