By:Will Brook, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England

Rating:   4

Voyage of the Damned - Like last year's christmas special but on a much grander scale with 'Kylie' instead of 'Catherine Tate'

Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords - Great fun, but at times it does drag a little.

Human Nature/The Family of Blood - Different, but a nice gem for the collection

Blink - Like 'Love and Monsters', but dark and scary, I like it.

Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks - Underrated Classic

The Lazarus Experiment - A fairly run-of-the-mill 'mad scientist' story

42 - A poor take on '24'

Smith and Jones - Fast, furious and funny a perfect introductory story

The Shakespeare Code - A poor history lesson

Gridlock - An important story for S3. Underrated.

What:The Runaway Bride + Music and Monsters: (BBC new series DVDs/Blu-rays)
By:Will Brook, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England
Date:Sunday 1 June 2008
Rating:   2

The Runaway Bride - A expensive christmas cash-in, guest-starring 'Catherine Tate'

By:Will Brook, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England

Rating:   5

Fear Her - Like 'The Idiots Lantern', a rushed filler episode

Army of Ghosts/Doomsday - In one word, 'Overrated'

The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit - The best episodes in S1

Love and Monsters - Well, in a nutshell, if 'David Tennant' didn't have enough time to hardly be in the episode, it shouldnt've been made



Doctor Who - Series 2: Volume 3

What:Series 2 Volume 3: (BBC new series DVDs/Blu-rays)
By:Will Brook, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England
Date:Sunday 1 June 2008
Rating:   4

Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel - Superb story but a little slow
The Idiot's Lantern - Rushed, just put in just to put the episode count up (Quantity doesn't always mean quality)

Tooth and Claw - A smashing little adventure
School Reunion - A bit rushed and silly

The Christmas Invasion - Drags on a bit but not bad

New Earth - Underrated



Time-Flight back cover?!

What:Time-Flight / Arc of Infinity (BBC classic series DVDs/Blu-rays)
By:Huw Davies, Taunton, United Kingdom
Date:Saturday 31 May 2008
Rating:   8

Before I review the set, just a quick word on the back cover of Time-Flight - poor job (2/10). The font is changed for no reason in the synopsis text, and the special features box has two 'Coming Soon trailer' captions.
Onto the product. I will review in numbers;
Time-Flight - 4/5
Arc of Infinity - 5/5
Special Features - 4/5
Overall - 4/5



Wicked!

What:The Dark Husband (Big Finish: The Monthly Adventures)
By:Matt, Aylesbury
Date:Saturday 31 May 2008
Rating:   9

It's pretty good and very clever. These BF people do think of some great ideas. Only problem for me is that one of the characters sounded too MUCH like Brian Blessed in Trial of a Time Lord? Was that intentional? It's so uncanny! Was it him in disguise?!

Boom Town - Return of the dreaded 'Slitheen'. Boo

Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways - Return of the 'Daleks'. Hurray!

The Long Game - Mediocore story saved by 'Simon Pegg'

Fathers Day - Fantastic and original.

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances - The scariest in this set. Written by the brilliant 'Steven Moffat'.



Doctor Who - Series 1: Volume 2

What:Series 1 Volume 2: (BBC new series DVDs/Blu-rays)
By:Will Brook, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England
Date:Saturday 31 May 2008

Aliens of London/World War III - A poor two-part story with a rather run-of-the-mill plot of aliens taking over the world.

Dalek - Much improved and in my opinion the best of the series.



Doctor Who - Series 1: Volume 1

What:Series 1 Volume 1: (BBC new series DVDs/Blu-rays)

Rose - A delightfull little episode introducing all the main characters and the plot of the show. Like a 45-minute trailer. Not bad.

The End of the World - Silly but entertaining 'whodunnit' set and a spaceship in the year 5,000,000,000.

The Unquiet Dead - The scariest of the set but a bit slow in places.



It's all good!

What:New Beginnings: (BBC classic series DVDs/Blu-rays)
By:Huw Davies, Taunton, United Kingdom
Date:Friday 30 May 2008
Rating:   9

A great selection of stories, along with a package of really good extras.
The Keeper of Traken - 4/5
Logopolis - 5/5
Castrovalva - 4/5
Extras - 4/5
Total score - 4/5



Errors abound in this one

What:The Haunting of Thomas Brewster (Big Finish: The Monthly Adventures)
By:Philip Comins, USA
Date:Wednesday 28 May 2008
Rating:   6

<<<< HERE BE SPOILERS >>>>
A character jumps off a train and at the same time tells Nyssa that she should jump because he'll catch her. The Doctor lands his TARDIS inside another version of his TARDIS creating the same paradox as in Legopolis, except ... no paradox this time. Not quite as good as many others. I'm baffled by the ending, which I will kindly not reveal
