Andor Season 2 (2025) Round-up: Star Wars’ hard-to-swallow epic is just what fans needed

Simon Ramshaw 21/05/2025
Andor Season 2 (2025) Round-up: Star Wars’ hard-to-swallow epic is just what fans needed

CONTAINS SPOILERS For once in their lives, Star Wars fans have a right to be upset. By the time any franchise devotees reach the end of Tony Gilroy’s ground-level Rebellion drama Andor, there’s a strong possibility they’ll feel more ashen than when they saw Princess Leia Mary Poppins herself back to safety in The […]

Doctor Who (2025) The Interstellar Song Contest – An Explosion of Camp and Fan Service, and Unexpected Politics

Doctor Who (2025) The Interstellar Song Contest – An Explosion of Camp and Fan Service, and Unexpected Politics

So this episode was a lot, wasn’t it? The Interstellar Song Contest will go down as one of the most extravagant episodes we’ve ever had, and that’s before you even get to the moments of fan service that, trust me, we will discuss. Reportedly the most expensive episode in the […]

Outside the Blue Box: The Mutations (1974)

Though every actor who has ever been lucky enough to portray the Doctor on-screen has put their own iconic spin on the character, it’s arguable that Tom Baker – at least for a certain generation – was a name inseparable from the role, and even perhaps the show as a […]

Doctor Who (2025) The Story and the Engine: Brilliant Low-Key Idea, Pompous Execution

Inua Ellams makes his Doctor Who writing debut with The Story and The Engine, an episode with a tone and setting unlike any Doctor Who episode I’ve ever seen. Typically the show never sets foot outside of either Europe or the USA for a whole episode, though there are some […]

Doctor Who (2025) Lucky Day: An Average Start That Reveals A Sublime and Timely Message (SPOILERS)

Ncuti Gatwa’s second series is so far following a very similar blueprint to his first. This is something I discussed the other week, but both series started with a silly sci-fi opener, a 20th-century period romp, and a tense space-based thriller. 73 Yards, probably the most acclaimed episode of last […]

Doctor Who (2025): The Well – A Fantastic Return To Tight, Taut Horror

Alex Paine 29/04/2025
Doctor Who (2025): The Well – A Fantastic Return To Tight, Taut Horror

This new Disney+ era of the show has had a less unanimously positive reception than Russell T Davies was perhaps hoping for, but fans have always seemed really happy whenever this era delves into horror. The eerie and freakish Wild Blue Yonder, the most purely horror-focused episode until this one, […]

Welcome to a new feature in which a rotating cast of Geek Show writers look at what the stars, writers and directors of Doctor Who get up to outside the show. We gave you a little taster of this last Christmas, but for the full experience we recommend signing up […]

Doctor Who (2025): Lux – A Visual Marvel Backed Up By Fun Script (SPOILERS)

In the days leading up to Series 15, it struck me that Russell has structured this series in a very similar way to the last one. The Robot Revolution is a bright and silly family-friendly introduction like Space Babies, next week’s Episode 3 looks set to be a dark and […]

Doctor Who (2025): The Robot Revolution – A Rambunctious Start With A Unique Spin (SPOILERS)

It’s been strange seeing the Doctor Who fandom, a fandom that was so divided and downhearted during the Chris Chibnall era and therefore ecstatic when Russell T Davies and Disney+ got involved, go back to the exact same mood after last year’s series finale. A rewatch of Empire of Death […]

Doctor Who A-Z #69: The Green Death (1973)

Graham Williamson 01/04/2025
Doctor Who A-Z #69: The Green Death (1973)

Classic seasons of Doctor Who aren’t designed as a holistic experience like the new seasons are, but as far back as the Troughton era there’s been a sense that a season finale should offer something big. Quite what that bigness involves changes over time. The Troughton finales still mostly register […]
