This is part of the marathon of the eight live-action ‘Spider-Man’ movies being shown at cinemas in the UK from August to September in 2024. Continue reading

Today, I’m sharing my updated review on the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Underwater Menace’. This updated review is based on the latest in a line of mostly missing black-and-white ‘Doctor Who’ TV stories from the 1960s that have been animated on DVD and Blu-ray for today. The story stars Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, Anneke Wills as Polly Wright, Michael Craze as Ben Jackson and Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon. This story also features Joseph Fürst as the titular ‘underwater menace’ – Professor Zaroff. Continue reading

Remember the ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ two-part story called ‘Past Tense’ where Captain Benjamin Sisko, Dr. Julian Bashir and Jadzia Dax travelled back in time to Earth’s past, with Sisko and Bashir ending up in a sanctuary district containing homeless people? That occurred in the year 2024! Continue reading

It’s that time again for me to share my thoughts on three movies I saw on Disney+ lately. For this Disney+ Roundup, I’ve seen a Tom Hanks film and I’ve seen two Ben Stiller films. All three films have been amusing and entertaining in their own measure. But is one of these films the best out of three? Continue reading

Here I am, back with another review on one of the more recent Target novelizations/audiobooks of ‘Doctor Who’. It’s time for me to share my thoughts on the second of three Target novelizations/audiobooks on the three 60th anniversary specials of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, featuring the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble. ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ is what I consider the weakest out of the three 60th anniversary specials of ‘Doctor Who’ by Russell T. Davies. Will the Target novelization/audiobook by Mark Morris change my mind about the story? Continue reading

It’s Bank Holiday Monday in August in the UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland to be precise) in 2024 today. Here’s my updated review on the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Celestial Toymaker’.

Just in case you missed it yesterday, I’ve read and heard the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story called ‘The Time Meddler’ by Nigel Robinson, based on the original TV scripts by Dennis Spooner. The story features the First Doctor, Vicki and Steven and they encounter the Meddling Monk. This happens to be Steven’s first adventure in the TARDIS following ‘The Chase’. The audiobook for ‘Doctor Who – The Time Meddler’ is read by Peter Purves, who played Steven Taylor in the TV series and continues to play him in the Big Finish audios. Continue reading

It’s time to check out the ninth and final story of Season 2 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series called ‘The Time Meddler’. This is a four-part story by Dennis Spooner, starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor, Maureen O’Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as new companion Steven Taylor. In this story, our heroes visit Northumbria on the planet Earth in the year 1066. It’s a time where the Vikings are about to invade the home of the Saxons, and the Battle of Hastings is to take place in that year. But the Doctor discovers Peter Butterworth as the Meddling Monk, who’s about to tamper with the course with Earth’s history. Can our heroes uncover why the Monk is doing this? Is the Monk all he seems to be? How is it that the Doctor and the Monk know each other so well? Continue reading

Here we are on the penultimate story of Season 2 of the classic ‘Doctor Who‘ TV series. It’s time for another one of my favourite stories from the William Hartnell/First Doctor era – a six-part adventure called ‘The Chase’, featuring the third appearance of the Daleks on TV. This story is notable for featuring the debut of Peter Purves in ‘Doctor Who’ where he plays Morton Dill in the third episode and Steven Taylor in the sixth episode. Steven Taylor becomes a new ‘Doctor Who’ companion after this story. There’s also the introduction of the Mechanoids in this story. ‘The Chase’ also features the departure of TARDIS regulars William Russell as Ian Chesterton and Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright, who have been in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series since the beginning.
