Doctor Whooligan: The Timeless Children, Tom Baker Returns to Big Finish, Burn Gorman Update
Well, Ascension of the Cybermen was certainly a wild ride. A bit convoluted in places, but thrilling nonetheless. Overall, it was just the pop the series needed as it closed out the season. In a year of low ratings, it is good to have some momentum carrying over. Although, I do not think the overall ratings really matter that much anymore since it is now an international … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Timeless Children, Tom Baker Returns to Big Finish, Burn Gorman Update

Doctor Whooligan: The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Tennant On Stage, Palin Joins Torchwood, Chicago TARDIS News
Although Can You Hear Me? was kind of a muddled mess, it was not terrible. The biggest problem it had was the fact that The Eternals cannot die, so the writers had to think of a clever way for them to be defeated. While this is an interesting challenge, it does create a lot of hassles with the overall storytelling in that a 45-minute episode simply may not be able to do it … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Tennant On Stage, Palin Joins Torchwood, Chicago TARDIS News
Doctor Whooligan: The Cybermen Return, Chicago TARDIS Guests, Captain Jack For Big Finish, Matt Smith News

While this is not the first time Doctor Who has done something unexpected, it is the first time that its fandom has been so staunchly divided.

Doctor Whooligan: Fugitive of the Judoon, Praxeus, Book News, Eccleston At Gallifrey One, Tosin Cole’s Possible Departure
It has been a relatively quiet week for Whovians. The biggest news was that Tom Baker celebrated his 86th birthday. It is impossible to talk about Doctor Who without referencing him. He took the role of the Doctor and made it all his own. He is a legend. Since his departure from the show, his popularity has not waned. Thankfully, his Big Finish audios have helped continue … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Fugitive of the Judoon, Praxeus, Book News, Eccleston At Gallifrey One, Tosin Cole’s Possible Departure

Doctor Whooligan: Orphan 55, Season 12 Update, The Master Returns, David Tennant News
The new season is in full swing and here seems to be a lot more energy happening this year. The pacing is different, and the stories seem tighter in execution. Overall, Spyfall was epic in scope in all of the Steven Moffat ways, but it was much more developed and executed. Clearly, Chibnall has a (ahem) masterplan going on here, and he's taking care not to make the same … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Orphan 55, Season 12 Update, The Master Returns, David Tennant News
Doctor Whooligan: Doctor Who New Year’s Special Spyfall Preview
After a seemingly endless wait, the Doctor is back! The first adventure of the new season is a glorious homage to all things James Bond. Entitled Spyfall, season 12’s opener, the first of two-parts, promises to pick up where Resolution left off in terms of pacing and style. However, despite the spy shenanigans, there's a lot of other interesting things going on to feed the … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Doctor Who New Year’s Special Spyfall Preview
Doctor Whooligan: The Macra Terror on DVD – Review
Missing from the BBC archives, The Macra Terror has become something of an enigma. Previously adapted as a novelization and reconstructed with various snapshots and its original audio, the seventh story of season four of the classic series has, in essence, been lost in time. When broadcast in 1967 it was not regarded as a classic or heralded as an instant masterpiece. … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Macra Terror on DVD – Review
Doctor Whooligan: New Book – Doctor Who’s Greatest Hits – Remastered
Alan Siler likes Doctor Who. A lot. A regular on the convention and podcast circuit, the congenial Atlanta based author is much more than a fan.

As we open 2019 many Whovians are approaching the newest story, Resolution, with mixed feelings. Most are happy to get more Doctor Who, while at the same time they are annoyed at the long layover for further adventures until 2020. Compounding all of this is the return of a classic baddie and a sense of unease that things could really get dark. Could it be that the … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Resolution – Doctor Who New Year’s Special Preview

This is a big week for Doctor Who fans. In addition to the series finale, there is also news about the future of the show as well as some great DVD release information. If that was not enough Derek Jacobi is back for Big Finish and Peter Davison has spoken up about this tenure on the show. I am not sure what to think of It Takes You Away.

It's a big week for Whovians as Chicago TARDIS kicks off in Chicago and the last portion of Season 11 begins with The Witchfinders. It's great to get another historical story. It's a bonus to get Alan Cumming in it as well. This should be a lot of fun, and I am hoping it helps the powers that be realize that there is interest in historical adventures. With that in mind, … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Witchfinders, Season 12 Rumors, The Time War Wages On For Big Finish, Louise Jameson On Stage

It's hard to believe that we have reached the last quarter of the season. So far I have enjoyed Jodie Whittaker and her companions. with each week the main cast's performances are tighter and tighter, mixing the perfect blend of comedy, drama and sci-fi angst. Having said that though I have felt that the last few weeks saw the season in a sort of lull. Not quite a slumber but … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Latest Season 11 News, The Wheel In Space DVD, New Years Special Details and Tennant on the Telly
Doctor Whooligan: Demons of the Punjab, Big Finish News, Matt Smith In Star Wars!
This is the week where Season 11 turns and heads into the home stretch. It's just my opinion, but from here I think things are going to get darker and more sinister, leading into a series finale.

Doctor Whooligan: Season 11 Continues, Regeneration Who, Capaldi News, Remembering Derrick Sherwin
This week finds Doctor Who rolling up its sleeves and getting to the substance of the new season as the program approaches the midway mark in Jodie Whittaker inaugural series. For the most part, I have been very pleased with how it has unfolded, with the only misstep being last week's Arachnids In The UK. Setting aside my arachnophobia I thought it was uneven. We didn't really … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Season 11 Continues, Regeneration Who, Capaldi News, Remembering Derrick Sherwin
