'The Thirteenth Doctor'

It's that time again!

WHINE+SPACE are bringing you the hottest of hot takes as we sit down and become the FIRST people on the entire internet to react to the news of Jodie Whittaker being cast as the next incarnation of the Doctor or, as Peter Capaldi would have it - 'Doctor Who'.

Can a woman be entrusted with the controls of the Tardis? Can a woman be entrusted with becoming a doctor? Should women ever have been allowed the vote? Find out the answer to all these and many more questions within!

'The Doctor Falls'

Wowsers, after an incredible first part in the shape of ‘World Enough and Time’, old Stevie Merkin’ Moffat’s back to tie up series 10 - but will the old scoundrel stick to his patented method of following an intriguing set-up with a misguided whimper of a conclusion?

Well, it turns out, pretty much no! Moffat presents us with a surprisingly straightforward story that gave all of its primary characters moments to shine. But how did we feel about the departure of Pearl Mackie’s Bill? Are we satisfied with the use of John Simm’s Master? And will Moffat’s use of the First Doctor be heartbreaking or horrid?

'World Enough and Time'

Now that’s more like it! WHINE+SPACE return to discuss the penultime episode of Doctor Who series 10 and, reassuringly, it’s a bit of a blinder. Reuniting Rachael Talalay behind the camera and Steven ‘Merkin’ Moffat on the pen, we start to see the end game of Capaldi’s tenure fall into place.

How did The Master get from his showdown with the Time Lords to his persona of Mister Razor? Where do Missy’s true loyalties lie? Most importantly, how badly will Moffat mess up the story’s conclusion?

'The Eaters of Light'

Well. We’re just a few episodes away from the end of Peter Capaldi’s run playing the character he likes to refer to as Doctor Who. But, arguably more importantly, we’re just as close to the end of the road for Steven Moffat’s mega-run as grand czar of everything Who-related. So, what type of story are we offered at this late stage of the game?

A pretty average, nondescript one, it would seem! So, join us as we try and discern if there’s an entertaining episode behind the bland competency on offer, whether #fluffwatch has finally reached PeakFluff - and how our view of the season has been coloured by the early leak of John Simm’s return.

'Empress of Mars'

Ice to see you!

Yes, after what we can all agree was the middling to rubbish return of the (n)Ice Warriors in ‘Cold War’ Mark Gatiss is having another bite at the apple - and as you might expect, it has a historical bent. HOW did these Victorian soldiers end up on Mars? HOW will they get home? WILL we even be sure of the answer by the episode’s end?

Find out the answer to all these questions and many, many more - as we ride the Mars Express!

'The Lie of the Land'

The truth will set you free - or WILL it?

WHINE+SPACE are here to find out, as we tune into Capaldi FM for his regular evening broadcast celebrating our benevolent overlords The Monks, and their ability to deliver three-part storylines that pan out in a satisfying manner that justify their length. So, dear listener, join us as we pay our respects and give our thanks to The Monks - for they are kind, gentle, wise and not at all evil-looking.

The Pyramid at the End of the World'

It's the end of the world as we know it and we feel triangular!

Yes, Steven Moffat is taking us to the end of the world/universe/time once again - and this time it's to be indoctrinated into some kind of pyramid scheme. It seems like there's some great advantages, like being able to turn back time or repair injuries, but it does involve making a very hazy unspecified deal with some pretty shifty looking monks.

So, join WHINE+SPACE as we attempt to work out whether to get onboard with these monks, or whether to leave their offer in the dust!
