Doctor Who: Season 13.1 (2022) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Eve of the Daleks succeeds as a contained piece, a 'locked-room' thriller, sagging only a little in the middle but gaining momentum in the final minute's loop.” – Radio Times Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 10 (2020) 94% EDIT “The major coup is Larry buddying up with Mad Men's Jon Hamm. Pretty, pretty good.” – Radio Times Dec 12, 2020 Full Review The Innovators: The Men Who Built America: Season 1 (2012) 62% EDIT “[A] superb docudrama series.” – Radio Times Jul 14, 2020 Full Review EDIT “This series makes you want to seek out so many great films again - or for the first time.” – Radio Times Mar 27, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 7.1 (2012) 100% 4/5 EDIT “[Matt] Smith is such a terrific Time Lord - I enjoy seeing him steadily maturing in the role.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 10 (2020) 2/5 EDIT “What an awful, boring mess.” – Radio Times Mar 2, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 9 (2020) 4/5 EDIT “Chris Chibnall has come out with all Cyber-guns blazing. There's a clear sense of the showrunner relishing his Doctor Who finale.” – Radio Times Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 8 (2020) 5/5 EDIT “Lustrous, spooky, hitting every note, this episode is finely directed by Emma Sullivan, and has enough confidence and generosity to unwind with an almost minute-long poetry reading as the young Romantics loll in an idyllic setting.” – Radio Times Feb 18, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 7 (2020) 3/5 EDIT “The stuff of nightmares. That's always been Doctor Who at its best. There are certainly enough images and ideas in Can You Hear Me? to instil a few nightmares in younger viewers... But is this Doctor Who at its best? Not really. It does try hard, though.” – Radio Times Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 6 (2020) 2/5 EDIT “I just don't feel Praxeus. A mystery with no tension, little to coo at or chuckle at, not much to chew on.” – Radio Times Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 5 (2020) 5/5 EDIT “The BBC was wrong. I DO BELIEVE. And this could be the revival the programme desperately needed.” – Radio Times Jan 27, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 4 (2020) 4/5 EDIT “It's lovely to see Tesla and Edison stepping into the Tardis and marvelling at its transcendental dimensions.” – Radio Times Jan 21, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 3 (2020) 3/5 EDIT “It smacks of Benidorm meets Aliens with perhaps a tiny touch of The Truman Show.” – Radio Times Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 2 (2020) 3/5 EDIT “Doctor Who's Part Twos often fail to deliver on the promise and exhilaration of what has gone before. This was notably an issue during Matt Smith's period. Spyfall's culmination almost skyfalls into the trap.” – Radio Times Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 12, Episode 1 (2020) 4/5 EDIT “Spyfall's other Big C - Mr Chibnall - keeps the intrigue flowing. It was a pleasure to watch Part One at the BFI launch in early December with an excited throng - many of them children, given plenty to gawp and gasp at.” – Radio Times Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 4 (2008) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It was the culmination of everything that was great about the [Russell T Davies] period: wit, spectacle, surprise, emotion...” – Radio Times May 7, 2019 Full Review The Hollow Crown: Season 1 (2013) 96% EDIT “The sombre moments in Richard Eyre's free adaptation of the text are absolutely riveting, with three magnificent central performances.” – Radio Times Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 7 (2012) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It's clever, fast, funny, eerie, surprising and tearjerking - all in one spectacularly polished package. And Steven Moffat steps over 49 years of Dalek baggage to make them fresh and menacing again.” – Radio Times Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 6 (2011) 100% 5/5 EDIT “The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon launches series six like a rocket. It marks a return to proper, scary Doctor Who, leaves many tantalising threads dangling and ends on a dazzling cliffhanger.” – Radio Times Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 6.2 (2011) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Much as I like Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, I feel it is time for a companions shake-up. In the meantime, it's undeniably heart-warming to find the lonely old Time Lord among friends at Christmas.” – Radio Times Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 26 (1989) 57% EDIT “I can't think of another story that takes one theme - survival - and explores it so deftly, so efficiently. It's the title. It's the impetus of the drama.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 25 (1988) 88% 5/5 EDIT “It adds up to a lot of fun, even if such interludes feel more like The Sylvester McCoy Show than Doctor Who.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 24 (1987) 29% EDIT “Doctor Who at last gets the change in house style it needs.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 23 (1986) 50% EDIT “The sad fact is they'd both run out of juice, plus their BBC superiors had lost the will to nurture Doctor Who, keeping this pair in their posts yet offering no guidance about past failings.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 22 (1985) 33% EDIT “In 1984 [Graeme Harper] pumped energy into The Caves of Androzani and now breathes life into Revelation of the Daleks - which is an odd claim to make, given that a pall of death hangs over the story.” – Radio Times Mar 6, 2019 Full Review
