Russel T Davies Returns as Doctor Who Showrunner
Doctor Who doesn't get to break the internet or fandom often and much like the titular character himself, the news that comes from the show is often subtle and suave. However, the latest Doctor Who news is spectacularly huge, to put it modestly. With the series approaching its thirteenth season and the news that both the show's star Jodie Whittaker and the current showrunner Chis Chibnall would be leaving after that season, fans have been waiting for information on who would be taking their place. it has now been announced that series veteran and super fan Russell T. Davies will be returning as the showrunner for the series, and it would appear he already has some ideas in place for the future of the series.

The “Fam” Deserved Better
In honour of the confirmation of Jodie Whittaker's 13th Doctor Who final season in 2022, I wanted to look back on my experience returning to the Whovian universe these past three years. Whittaker will star in a new six-part series later this year, and three specials next year, before she exits.

Rediscovering Doctor Who through Big Finish
When I think back on the Doctor Who franchise, I’ve not been the most consistent fan - I’ve fallen in and out of love with the series since Russell T. Davis revived the series way back in 2005.

When a spaceship crashes on Middlesbrough it’s very sad, of course. But we at Torchwood have long had a plan to contain such a disaster.

A Single Beam of Light
It is difficult for people to understand the alphabet is arranged in no particular order. Perhaps more difficult still is the understanding the universe and our world has been shaped in no particular order. Order is an artifice. Shape an illusion. Everything scatters in random patterns. It is our minds that seeks unity and therefore we see it everywhere. Through the eyes of the viewer order, pattern and shape are arranged. So why then I thought? Why can’t I see it anymore?

Doctor Who: a show that takes us through time and space, many adventures, scary creatures. Some people love the show for the actors who play the Doctor and the companions, others for eras themselves, some, the iconic music that accompanies each story.

"We Love Stories" - Audiophile Pride
Since discovering Big Finish Productions in 2018, I have been completely hooked on the imaginative and compelling audio dramas they've created - not just their continuations of the Doctor Who franchise with original cast members reprising their roles, but writing fully fleshed out and original characters that represent the LGBTQ Community.

Review of The Nevers, Part I
The Nevers 1.1: Never Say Never I wasn't going to watch The Nevers. I'd pretty much given up on superpowers on television after Heroes. On the other hand, how can you resist late 1890s London, the prime of Victorian times, the birth of The Time Machine, on the cusp of the 20th century? I couldn't, and I'm glad of it.

Writing: The Imposter Syndrome
My last article on Class focused primarily on the death of innocence, which is something all of the teenage characters go through throughout the TV (and audio spin-off) series. None more so than Tanya Adeola, the youngest of the group and although the smartest, suffers with severe imposter syndrome.
