Doctor Who series 12 to return 2020 with Jodie Whittaker.
Geoff’s review of the last episode is just in, quickly followed by this news, that Doctor Who series 12 will return in 2020 with Jodie Whittaker. A bit of a long wait.

Doctor Who: Series 11 (or 36 depending on how you count): Episode 10: The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos by Chris Chibnall.
Has anyone else thought that this season has rushed by? OK, then it’s not just me. The Team TARDIS arrive in the far future, 3407 years after they left the Earth present, although the Doctor doesn’t tell them that. Be careful as there has to be spoilers.

Space Precinct: The Complete Series (1994) (DVD TV series review).
Considering how Network is working their way through the Gerry Anderson series, it was an interesting surprise to see ‘Space Precinct’ appear. I have to confess that I haven’t see it since its original release back in 1994, so was curious to see how it holds up compared to the CGI series of today. Oddly, […]
Jim Henson’s The Storyteller music by Rachel Portman (CD review).
I haven’t seen ‘Jim Henson’s The Storyteller’ for quite some time but there is always a strong memory for the 1987-89 13 episodes that made up its two seasons.
