NewsBen Homes, TV BloggerDoctor Who: Retrospective of a Masterpiece - Midnight
For all the show does to celebrate The Doctor as a figure of brilliance, himself often arrogantly stating that he is amazing and clever, no episode has ever shown how dangerous this view is and how quickly he can lose control than Russell T. Davis’s series four masterpiece Midnight. Midnight is at its heart a chamber piece, putting a group of disparate individuals on an inescapable bus tour across the surface of a deadly planet when there’s a sudden knocking from outside the small confines of the ship. You can have a bottle episode in space or a psychological exploration of fear but once you add in the greatest man in the Universe, it becomes something more dangerous.

NewsAlex Moreland (TV Blogger)Pride 2016 - Looking back on Banana
It seemed a good time, then, to look back on Channel Four’s Banana, a television programme dedicated to much the same celebration. In 2015 Russell T Davies was returning to the world of television after a very successful run on Doctor Who; though that was then what he was best known for, that hadn’t always been the case. Prior to Doctor Who, Davies had been most well known for his programs such as Queer as Folk or Bob and Rose, both popular, mainstream dramas about gay people.

NewsAlex Moreland (TV Blogger)Doctor Who - A Tribute to Christopher Eccleston’s “Fantastic” Ninth Doctor
It’s strange to think, really, just how long it’s been since Christopher Eccleston first graced our screens as the Doctor, bringing Doctor Who back with a bang. The Ninth Doctor is, for me, a bit of an oddity. One of the things I’ve come to appreciate most about the Ninth Doctor is how well defined his character arc is, and the manner in which we get to see him develop across the series.
