Margot Waldman: When I started this series of reviews, I got something really pretty desperately wrong. I said that Russell T Davies had nothing to prove to me or to anyone else about Doctor Who. But Iâve realized that, no, he did. He had a big damn thing to prove because he had to prove…
Armaan Babu: Itâs the end of the world as we donât know it. The Rani has swept in, and wasted little time in making and unmaking reality, ready to tear the world apart just to find whoever sheâs looking for. Itâs a hell of an episode, and the most Iâve enjoyed the series in a…
Armaan Babu: I skipped watching the Eurovision finale, but it appears that no matter where you hide, Eurovision will find you. This week, on Doctor Who, Eurovision plays out for over 3 trillion fans across the universe. Margot, are you one of those fans? Margot Waldman: So. Look.

I thought â73 Yardsâ was…
Margot Waldman: On their quest to get back home to May 2025, the Doctor and Belinda make a slight detour 500,000 years in the future â and into what I think has been the strongest episode of the season so far. What do you think, Armaan? Armaan Babu: Iâm behind you 100%. Well, behind-adjacent, as…
The quest to get Belinda home leads to an abandoned cinema hiding a terrifying secret in Disney’s Doctor Who Season 2, Episode 2, “Lux.” Armaan Babu: If Doctor Who has taught us anything, it’s that it’s not so fun exploring all of space and time without a companion to help you through it. For this…
This review will include spoilers. Please be advised! Iâm not the first person to say that Russell T Davies really has nothing to prove anymore with Doctor Who. Like the Doctor himself, RTD has made a kind of habit of saving the world he loves so much from destruction â though in TV land, that…
