The Avengers are here to help kids learn about budgeting and saving.
Read more…1)Here we have the introduction of the Doctor's newest companion, Martha Jones, as played by Freema Agyeman. I quite like Freema, and have nothing against Martha as a character - if I was less than overwhelmed by her, it's because after all the soap

While I've been busy puzzling on this site over the last nine volumes why artist Jesse Marsh is so widely admired -- I find his work adequate, but not much more -- I've mostly f

Read more…1)I'm not generally a big fan of these so-called "Doctor lite" episodes. I understand they have to do them for practical reasons, and one or two of them have been OK, but they're not my favorites. If I'm watching Doctor Who, I want to see the Doctor.

2)"Welcome to the end of the world." I like the inversion of expectations here - the Doctor is not going to save the Earth.
