“This is the age of steel and I am its creator”. This is a continuing look at how Cybermen can be used in combination with other alien races. The Sontarans are bred for war, cloning vast numbers to continue the fight against the Rutan Host. Each member of the species is a soldier much like the Cybermen. It obvious to see the parallels between the militaristic species....

Episode 13: ‘Night Terrors’ Matt Smith. FRS employs the use of a THIRD microphone! With each podcast we strive ever further towards professionalism and then take a sharp left way before we get there. The Andy’s regress to a childlike state of terror this week. Which makes a change from our normal childlike state of giggling at Sontaran nob jokes. Of which there are still plenty.

Episode 75: Doctor Who - Night Terrors and Torchwood – Miracle Day ( Episode 8 ). We have been trying, through the whole of the summer holidays to get Alicia to take part in the main recording session of the podcast (11am Monday mornings). This week she hadn’t actually watched Night Terrors prior to recording time so wasn’t expected on the show. But she ended up making a much larger contribution than ever before!

"The Satan Pit". "I've said in the past that I really enjoy when the episodes that comprise a two-part story are distinct from one another, but that is by no means the only (or even the most common) way of doing things. This is an example of the much more common approach. We're dealing with one especially long story split into two parts with a cliffhanger in the middle...."

Doctor Who S6, Ep. 9: “Night Terrors”. The thing about horror is that it’s frightening just when the protagonist thinks he or she is safe. Horror is successful when the viewer is a step ahead, seeing the approaching danger before the characters do. What creates suspense isn’t wondering what the result of that danger is going to be, but waiting for the moment when the characters will catch up to the viewers. Waiting for the moment when the unwitting protagonist will see the monsters and scream...

Doctor Who - 'Night Terrors' - Review. There’s a lot of talk a lot of the time about how scary new-Who can be. How it’s somehow unsuitable for children, as though terrifying them about a fictional monster is in some way going to emotionally cripple them for life. It’s an argument that most people, thankfully, have little time for, and I bring it up because ‘Night Terrors’, an episode which was seemingly designed simply to scare the crap out of small children everywhere, actually addresses it. It’s a nicely meta moment that sums up everything else within this episode; a child’s father mentions that, to stop him being scared, they banned scary television....

Doctor Who reviews: Night Terrors. After the dramatic plot twists of showrunner Steven Moffat’s ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’ last week, Doctor Who returns to a more standalone story with Sherlock co-creator and co-showrunner Mark Gatiss’ ‘Night Terrors’, which nonetheless proves engaging enough to make one forget about the yet-to-be resolved cliffhangers from last week (fittingly enough, concerning the Silence, among other things)....

Echoes of Grey written by John Dorney and directed by Lisa Bowerman. Zoe Heriot has a photographic memory. Totall recall. But when it comes to the years she spent travelling in time and space, all she can remember is that she ahs forgotten. Years after she was returned to the Wheel in Space by the Time Lords, Zoe meets Ali, a young woman who claims to have met Zoe before, when she was with the Doctor and Jamie. Suddenly, part of the hidden past is exposed, as memories return of a visit to the Whitaker Institute in Central Australia....

Dr Who: The Power of the Daleks Review (Or ‘The Daleks are definitely not your servants’). So a new era begins in Doctor Who as Patrick Troughton takes over from William Hartnell. Unfortunately, only a few of his stories exist in full in 2011. Indeed, for the first two of his three series, only one story remains intact. It’s a crying shame, but the question that has to be asked before I begin my look back on his time in the role is whether or not that has worked in his favour....
