Heaven Sent by Steven Moffat (2015)

There are two events in everybody’s life that nobody remembers. Two moments experienced by every living thing, yet no one remembers anything about them. Nobody remembers being born and nobody remembers dying. As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life, and it begins a journey towards you.

Flatline by Jamie Mathieson (2014)

You are monsters. That is the role you seem determined to play. So, it seems I must play mine. I came into the re-watch of this story with a slight misconception.

They’re not holograms, they’re not Flesh Avatars, they’re not Autons, they’re not digital copies bouncing around the Nethersphere. No, these people are literally, actually, dead. Wow. This is, it’s amazing!Continue reading “Under the Lake/Before the Flood by Toby Whithouse (2015)”

Kill the Moon by Peter Harness (2014)

‘Look at the size of it. It’s the size of a badger.’ The moon’s an egg. Has it, er, has it always been an egg? Oh, my gosh. It laid a new egg. I could just leave the review there. Feel free to stop at this point. Let me set out my stall on thisContinue reading “Kill the Moon by Peter Harness (2014)”
