Shadowlocked has Doctor Who companions: The Ultimate Tournament, during Doctor Who's 47 years, companions have come and gone and have stuck by the good Doctor through thick and thin. We've had all sorts of companions, from plucky journalists through to shifty non-public school boys; leggy swinging 60s dolls through to haughty Time Lady ice-maidens and trusty schoolteachers through to – erm, Adric, for completism's sake, I'm including all the companions of The Doctor, so that means one-offs too, like Adelaide and Christina – they were described in the BBC press releases as companions, so they're fair game. There'll be the equivalents of bronze, silver and gold for each category, so let the tournament commence!

BBC America - Anglophenia has The Best ‘Doctor Who’ Moments of 2010, in your typical episode of Doctor Who, there are enough clever moments to fill a whole season of other shows — perfectly timed double takes and one-liners so plentiful that even the throwaways are gold. And then there are those moments that catch you off-guard and make you all misty-eyed.

Review's Roundup...


Media_httpwwwshadowlo_ykbrw


Shadowlocked reviews The Visitation, ...season 19 has so many ups and downs, so many polar opposites that I feel queasy just typing this. Although it could have been the chicken curry that I had for tea. So far we've had the introspective, intelligent Castrovalva followed by Four To Doomsday - a story about overgrown, talking frogs. Then we have the multi-layered, surreal tour-de-force that is Kinda. And what do you know, we then head for The Visitation, which is generally about as sophisticated as an episode of Neighbours.

Macgasm has Doctor Who Game Receives 'Exterminate' Rating, when it comes to Doctor Who, I don’t kid around. It’s been my favorite TV show since 1978, and I hold all Doctor Who games to a very high standard......


Media_httpwwwdvdactiv_jcatk


DVDActive reviews Doctor Who: Meglos (UK - DVD R2), season 18 was an odd time for Doctor Who; it’s star, Tom Baker had been the longest serving actor to play The Doctor in the show’s history and though his over-the-top performances from the previous season had toned down, a sense of boredom had replaced it; technological advancements meant that the Beeb were becoming increasingly able to realise the visions that were born in the grand imaginations of the writers; the theme music had been changed; the most important development for Doctor Who with season 18 was the appointment of John Nathan-Turner as producer, a development which would remain with the show - for better or worse - until the show’s eventual cancellation...

Unreality SF reviews Doctor Who: The Demons of Red Lodge and other stories, "I'd like to say that the release is a complete shambles which could only have been salvaged by the inclusion of my own entry in the New Writer's Opportunity, but... well... that would be a complete lie....."
