Genesis of the Daleks is the original …

Callan – The Death of Robert E Lee

By H E Cooper on Monday, October 9, 2023

The Death of Robert E Lee is Callan’s second missing episode and provides further insight into the early dynamics in the series. Callan remains ‘free’ of the Section but he can’t escape the world of espionage, even when it isn’t Hunter blackmailing him. The CIA request Hunter’s help to get hold of Li Pa Chao …

Survivors – Corn Dolly

By H E Cooper on Tuesday, May 30, 2023

When I saw this episode’s title appear onscreen, it seemed vaguely familiar but I couldn’t remember what a corn dolly was. I was hoping it wasn’t going to end up as a metaphor for something horrific here because I didn’t fancy an evening that climaxed with The Wicker Man-type terrors. After all the opening grimness, …

Flight Through Entirety podcast – Doctor Who – The Caretaker

By H E Cooper on Monday, May 22, 2023

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 …

The Sarah Jane Adventures – Revenge of the Slitheen

By H E Cooper on Wednesday, April 26, 2023

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 …

Survivors – Gone Away

By H E Cooper on Wednesday, April 5, 2023

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, …

The Sarah Jane Adventures – Invasion of the Bane

By H E Cooper on Saturday, March 25, 2023

I didn’t really see much of The Sarah Jane Adventures when it was originally broadcast. In April 2005 I was 11 going on 12, so I was just about young enough to still become enthralled in childish joy when the new series of Doctor Who started. That Christmas I was among the many kids who …

Survivors – Genesis

By H E Cooper on Wednesday, February 22, 2023

Last episode’s title represented Death and I like that the biblical namings have continued with Genesis – the first book in the Bible – offering us a new beginning. Can Terry Nation keep these up? I hope so, even if my own biblical knowledge may become stretched quite quickly. If The Fourth Horseman was brutal …

The Federation’s Most Wanted – A Blake’s 7 podcast

By H E Cooper on Friday, February 10, 2023

ThePreacher711 has launched this new podcast series to ‘Seek, Locate & Interview Blake’s 7 fans from across the community’. 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 …
