Flight Through Entirety has been working through every episode of Doctor Who for almost a decade now – quite the podcast commitment. Despite dabbling in such vast viewings, I’ve never managed to see it through as there is just so much other fascinating television out there to distract me. I do think there is a lot …
I’ve mixed feelings about The Sarah Jane Adventures kicking off its series with returning villains from Doctor Who. A part of me thinks it should have been attempting to be distinct from the start. However, there had been a large gap since Invasion of the Bane – over nine months – and viewers needed to …
Abby has started to establish her own little group but we soon see that, even with hardly any other people around, some of the Survivors are still truly terrible human beings. Whatever this plague was, it’s looking highly doubtful that it was divine intervention. Why couldn’t only the nice ones survive? Looting At some point, …

One of the greatest joys of writing my Blake’s 7 blogs was that it helped to connect me with the rest of Blake’s 7 fandom. I now know there are plenty of fellow fans out there …
After getting so much enjoyment from Blake’s 7, I was keen to explore other work from its contributors. I’d seen various versions of Terry Nation Bingo and 1975’s Survivors seemed to tick the kind of boxes I liked. A box set emerged from my stocking on Christmas Day 2020… I initially liked the idea of …
The posts on this blog are evidence of my huge love for Blake’s 7, so I was delighted when Series A of Maximum Power launched. For me, the podcast has the right balance of a fondness for the show that also enables its fans to gently rib it when it falls short. There is an appreciation that …
This article was originally published in Issue 1 of the Curious British Telly fanzine. The opening episode of Parkin’s Patch sets up its rural atmosphere as Police Constable Moss Parkin (John Flanagan) deals with a case of sheep rustling.
