Doctor Who - Paul Magrs

Doctor Who?

Advantages: High quality detailed figure.
Disadvantages: Will never come out of the packaging.... ever!

With the regeneration and revival of the legendary Doctor Who TV series in 2005, it was strikingly obvious that a modern merchandising campaign was going to be rolled out as soon as the first episode had finished airing as new generation of fans of had effectively been captured. In my mind Season 1 starring Christopher Eccleston as the Time Travelling Doctor gave us some good episodes to further the legacy of the Doctor. In the=is Season there were a number of two part stories, the second two-parter of the Season was called 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances' and this story, split across two episodes introduced us to Captain Jack Harkness for the first time. It was quite a frightening story with a lone child in a gasmask roaming war torn London looking for his Mummy, come Monday morning it was an episode that was still fresh in ...

Doctor Who hits back with a bang!

Advantages: Great rebirth of the doctor
Disadvantages: None really

The show has been immensely popular and is still going strong, with David Tennant now playing the Time Lord and soon to be replaced with Mat Smith.

Episode 1 - Rose The first episode of the new series naturally has a bit of explaining to do after such a long time away from the screen. Although there was a film in 1996, no episodes had been made since 1989, meaning a 16 year gap and a whole new generation of Doctor Who fans to impress. We are introduced in this ...

Review of Doctor Who - Series 1 Vol.1 (DVD)

Doctor Who changes tack slightly

Advantages: Great stuff
Disadvantages: None really

Now well into the second series of the revamped Doctor Who, we see the writers take a bit of a different tack with the plotlines. We have another double episode story with The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit, and then a foray into an episode where the Doctor and Rose are not greatly featured, with a band of other actors taking the top billing for the episode, in Love and Monsters. This is a welcome change from the norm. The Impossible Planet The Doctor and Rose are sucked out of the TARDIS and onto a spaceship, which they find out is being held in orbit around a black hole. The ship has a small crew of humans running it, and cannot explain why the black hole has not swallowed them up.
