Does Torchwood Hold Up as Well as It Did 18 Years Ago? Series 2

A Series 2 Overview Last week, I published my first blog on the Newport City Radio website, exploring whether Torchwood still holds up as well as it did 18 years ago. I focused primarily on Series 1, and today I’m shifting my attention to Series 2. Like my previous blog, I’ll provide a brief overview of the series, review past and present opinions, and offer my thoughts on whether the show would resonate with audiences today as it did when […]

Does Torchwood Hold Up as Well as It Did 18 Years Ago?

Torchwood and I. Hello! My name is Amber, and I’m a new volunteer at Newport City Radio. On my first day at the station, I discovered they produce many blogs for their website, which seemed like a fun way to contribute. When I was given the opportunity to write one, I immediately thought about exploring one of my favourite topics—TV shows. Right now, I’m particularly interested in the Doctor Who franchise, and one of my favourite parts of that universe […]

New NuWho the Review – Empire of Death

It all led to this... The TARDIS with its eerie groan, the mysterious identity of Ruby Sunday’s mother, and the enigmatic Mrs. Flood with her strange habit of breaking the fourth wall. Episode Six, titled ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday,’ left me confused. The episode built up to a big reveal, but what was the legend of Ruby Sunday? All I saw was a lot of running around without a clear explanation. Reflecting on ‘The Empire of Death,’ I’m still […]

New Nu-Who the review – The Legend of Ruby Sunday

Penultimate Episode Shockers! The episode opens with a rather exciting shot: the TARDIS flying over a London skyline. Straight away, we’re off to a very energetic start. There’s a lovely little scene with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and the staff of UNIT, and we get straight to the business of identifying Susan Triad’s true identity. Obviously, this review is going to be full of SPOILERS—consider this your warning. It’s the penultimate episode of the series, so if you’re behind, you’re in dangerous […]

New Nu-Who the review – Rogue

Gatecrashing with the Doctor: A Romp Through 'Rogue' Gate-crashing has always been one of the Doctor’s characteristics, and trust me, I’d be more than happy having the benevolent Time Lord gate-crashing a party I’m hosting—within reason, that is! ‘Rogue’ is a real good romp, complete with costumes, beautifully stately homes, and outta space bird aliens cosplaying as humans. The overall story was very gay and beautifully executed by writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman. However, there was one scene where […]

New Nu-Who the review – Dot and Bubble

Living in Finetime: A Tech-Driven Nightmare or a Clever Cautionary Tale? Living in Finetime is wonderful, when everything is fine all the time! Or is it? A planet populated by teenagers glued to their smart devices sounds nothing short of a nightmare to me.Davies’ approach to this episode gives the sense of foreboding where, as a race, we’re becoming devoted to our smartphones, and becoming a social media influencer is the dream that every young adult seems to cherish.Another observation […]

New Nu-Who the review – 73 yards

Wales! This week’s episode brings us to the picturesque Welsh countryside. Not quite Cardiff Bay, but it’s Wales all the same. Once again, Newport Market in the City Centre has been used as a stand-in for a typical London high street. You might recall my review of Episode II: "The Devil’s Chord" where Newport Market’s roof was depicted as the rooftop of London’s Abbey Road Studios."73 Yards" explores Celtic folklore, focusing on the disturbance of a fairy circle. When we […]

New Nu-Who the review – Boom

Tension Steven Moffat is back, and it's about time! The last Doctor Who episode penned by the Scottish writer aired in 2017 on Christmas Day. It's no surprise to see him return under Russell T Davies' leadership, signalling a new era of Doctor Who filled with fan-favourite comebacks. As long as it’s not Chibnall—yes, I heard you at the back of the room! While Moffat is a gifted writer, I believe he's at his best with standalone episodes. After all, […]

Series 1 - Episode 2. The Devil's Chord One episode down of series one, or is it series 14? Time travel can really confuse you! Anyway, one episode down, seven to go! Last Saturday, we were treated to a double feature of the latest series of Doctor Who.The second episode, titled "The Devil’s Chord," took us to the swinging sixties—the year where it all began for us and our time-traveling Doctor. This time, we found ourselves at Abbey Road Studios, […]
