Tim's Take On: Episode 753(Doctor Who: 73 Yards mini review)
This week series 14 reaches the mysterious Doctor Who: 73 Yards, about all I know as I type this is UNIT return and it’s some kind of folk horror.

Tim's Take On: Episode 749(Doctor Who: Heaven Sent mini review)
This week my new series re-watch reaches the only story in the Capaldi era that I don’t enjoy at all, Doctor Who: Heaven Sent.
