The battle of bippidy boppity boo is possibly the worst titled episode this side of “The Tsuranga Conundrum.” The penultimate episode in our reviews of a previous series in Nu-Who, the penultimate Chibnall story this time around, and the one that no…

How do you even start with this one? This is the last good (and untainted) episode of Jodie’s run that beautifully captures the spirit of Doctor Who and what you want coming away from such a show. “It Takes You Away” subverts…
