The Nerdist has Doctor Who for Newbies: The Eighth Doctor & The Wilderness Years, in 1989, the BBC pulled the plug on Doctor Who after 26 years. It was the network’s intention to bring the show back after a few years had given it some perspective, but it would be seven before any kind of Doctor Who briefly returned to screens and a further nine before it would be back again. It is this period, known as “The Wilderness Years,” that the fans were able to take over the reigns and a great deal of what New Who would become was forged.......

Review's Roundup...

Shadowlocked reviews Time-Flight, a director's CV needs to prove a lot to a prospective employee. An eye for imaginative camera shots. A bulging contacts book with lots of good actors and crewmembers who can help make the project a resounding success. And then there's the all-important talent for judging budgetary requirements, it's a talent that's especially important in a show like Doctor Who, especially in the days before the budget got bigger.....

The Edwardian Adventurer has 057 – Inferno (The Romans Part 4), all road lead out of Rome in this episode as our heroes attempt to escape Nero’s newly secured palace.  Nero also hits upon a plan for urban redevelopment, this episode begins with the Nero I was wanting to see.  When Delos refuses to kill Ian in the fight, choosing instead to go for Nero, the centurions rush in to protect their emperor and kill the two combatants.  “Now they are fighting for their lives!” shouts Nero with glee.  Ian and Delos are forced to escape without Barbara.  Nero then decides to use Barbara as bait to lure them back, at which point they will all be killed.  He then executes a centurion who “didn’t fight hard enough.”  This feels like the Nero I have read about.  I think this story finally hit its stride!

Bigger On The Inside has “I was with the Filipino army at the final advance of Reykjavik,
when the Doctor confronts Magnus Greel in his lair we get a lot of background about the 51st century and seems a much grimmer era than you might have thought from ‘The Girl in the fireplace’ and tales told by Captain Jack, Earth in this period is in the grip of a new ice age. One can imagine that conditions are harsh, with limited resources. Since we know that space travel is routine at this point those who are left on Earth might be the poor and desperate, unable to afford the trip to more prosperous worlds. The perfect conditions for a brutal regime to rise up......
