Plum Pudding Reviews

NCJDDAS: The Starcorp Horror Chapter One “Time,” said Howie Milverton, “Is One Of The Most Malleable Concepts That The Universe Has Ever Offered Us. Since The Destruction Of Gallifrey, sort of, I don’t know, It might be out there, it’s an Open Market. I want mass produced Vortex Manipulators on the shelves tomorrow morning, we already have the schematics.” Howie was talking to his crowd of loyal workers. His personal cabal. Sometimes he viewed them has slaves, but then he remembered that he was a slave to the machine in the same way they were. “I want you all to come up with a way we can maximise profits. Who’s a famous time traveller? We need a mascot!” “Well, Judi Dench is famous for her role in James Bond, and one of their movies was called No Time To Die,” said an incredibly stupid shareholder with an IQ of exactly two.  “Time!” said Howie Milverton ecstatically. “Yes! That will work beautifully! You’re all dismissed.” “I don’t think that movie has time tr...

Amy Booth-Steele as Hyph3n, Who Does Not Deserve Any Further Discussion. Orphan 55 by Ed Hime What it’s about: A Mysterious Token to a Spa leads the Doctor into a post apocalyptic wasteland that the internet really, really hates.  Oh, Brilliant: Adequate Jodie again, as this series 11 leftover is definitely one of the more subpar releases of the entire revival. Jodie is not a problem. Never say Jodie is a problem, she is without a doubt, one of the few saving graces of the entire thing. I love the way she snaps at Yaz at the start for showing concern towards her.  I failed to mention something very important about Spyfall. She condemned the Master to a bunch of Nazis. Um, what?

Jodie is never gonna be the same as she was in series 11 now, she has a new layer of dark below the surface, much like how 7 was after his first two seasons. And I absolutely adore this. Wait, no, I don’t enjoy the Naz...

Art By SoundSmyth Yes, The Season is nearly over, and I’m finally delving into Series 12, for my first live action series review. I’ve put this off for a while, and I’ve got to say, both parties are absolutely unfair to Series 12. It is not the worst thing ever, and Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall should not be fired, and it is certainly nowhere near as good as the absolute gold we were regularly getting in the Capaldi era. Yep. This is gonna be a thing. Spoilers, but only for the episode I’m reviewing, you aren’t getting Fugitive of The Judoon bombshells until I reach it. Spyfall Part One and Two By Chris Chibnall What is it about: A huge two parter about an alien invasion ala the Russell Era. As The James Bond parodies rise, a dark connection to the Doctor shows up, and things go sideways... Oh, Brilliant: Jodie Whittaker is good in this part, and She is certainly not a bad Doctor. Anyone who denies that is in denial about this era. However, the scripts in series 11...
