Whovian TV: 8/05/2021 


It's hard to believe, but an entire week has once again flown by. These seven days seem to disappear quicker and quicker each time, and there's really no sign of time slowing down. And so as another week ends, a new one begins - and that means a new series of listings from Whovian TV. Here's what I plan to watch within the next seven days;

19:00 - In For A Penny (ITV)

19:30 - Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow (ITV)

Friday 14th May:

19:30 - Coronation Street (ITV)

20:43 - Marvel's Runaways, Season 3 Episode One 'Smoke And Mirrors' (Disney Plus)

21:30 - Invincible, Season 1 Episode One 'It's About Time' (Amazon Prime)

22:19 - The Simpsons, Season 7 Episode Twenty Five 'Summer Of 4 ft. 2' (Disney Plus/All4)


A quiet week on the terrestrial front then, with only one addition to the schedules (ITV's 'The Queen And Her Cousins With Alexander Armstrong'). It's one of those times where you feel immensely grateful for streaming services, which allow you to pad the schedule out with your own choices of what to watch. I've been looking forward to watching the third season of Marvel's Runaways for a while, for instance, and the week ahead gives me the perfect opportunity to check out the first episode.

It will also be interesting to see where Lost In Space goes next, after the brilliant cliffhanger to Season One; whilst the second season initially released in 2019, I was no longer a Netflix customer by that point in time, and so the season passed me by entirely. It's without a doubt one of the greatest sci-fi series out there, and now feels like the ideal moment to catch up with the Robinsons before their third and final season later this year.

Happy TV viewing!

REVIEW: Bates Motel, Season 2 Episode Four 'Check-Out'

 REVIEW: Bates Motel, Season 2 Episode Four 'Check-Out' The revelations at the end of the previous episode were quite a shock to the Bates family tree, to say the least. Dylan (Max Thieriot), it seems, was the product of a rape - and not any old rape, but a rape which occurred between brother and sister. This episode picks up with the ramifications from such a reveal, in what is a very character focused episode of Bates Motel. Poor Dylan. He's had this major reveal about his parentage thrown on him, and it doesn't seem as though he has been coping at all. Dylan's been on the booze, and when Norman (Freddie Highmore) and Norma (Vera Farmiga) find him, he's in quite a state. Check-Out is a real showcase for the character of Dylan; it develops his character significantly, and poses some interesting questions regarding this new status quo he has found himself in. If everything you thought you knew changed, and you had a different father to who you were led to beli...

REVIEW: WandaVision, Season 1 Episode Seven 'Breaking The Fourth Wall'

 REVIEW: WandaVision, Season 1 Episode Seven 'Breaking The Fourth Wall' Originally published in 2020, here are my thoughts on WandaVision's seventh episode 'Breaking The Fourth Wall'. This episode brings us up to date, with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) now giving us her take on a modern sitcom. This version of WandaVision feels like a combination of Modern Family and The Office , with - as the title suggests - lots of the typical fourth wall breaking that you would expect of this mockumentary style. As with the other sitcom episodes, it's just so funny too. The comedy really lands, with so many moments that make you laugh out loud. One of my personal favourite gags from Modern Day WandaVision was the glitchy magic with the kids' game controllers. Seeingtey their controllers going from the modern PlayStation-style to the N64, and then to the Atari joystick, before landing on a pack of UNO playing cards just really made me chuckle. As did the hilarity of...
