Doctor Who - Under The Lake - Review (spoilers)
By Ken Parker
I will make this review quick because I feel until I see the second part of this story, a lot of my criticism and praise is on hold. I will say that this episode is a vast improvement over the past few. We have a mystery, there is something that looks like a ghost and acts like a ghost but obviously is not a ghost but wait a minute - the Doctor is now calling them ghosts. The mystery will be solved next episode when we figure out what has happened to the Doctor.

Doctor Who:
Under the Lake
By Toby Whitehouse
“Who wants to catch a ghost?”
Series 9 rolls along with Under the Lake. Under the Lake is part one of a two part story this time by Toby Whitehouse. He has written for the show before giving us stories like School Reunion, The God Complex and a few others but he is mostly known for the British and original version of Being Human. Under the Lake is his first story for the 12th Doctor and by the next time trailer it looked really good. I had high hopes for this story after watching the trailer as Doctor Who never really dealt with ghosts before, well, not in the traditional way.

Doctor Who - Damaged Goods Review
Doctor Who:
Damaged Goods
By Russell T. Davies
Adapted By Jonathan Morris
Starring Sylvester McCoy, Travis Oliver and
Yasmin Bannerman
After listening to the audio adventure Damaged Goods based on the Virgin New Adventure novel by future Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies (released in October 1996) all I could think was, “What a wasted opportunity.” By listening to this story I could not believe it was by the same guy who got Doctor Who back on the air and made it into a romance novel half of the time. Now granted there were some good stories during the RTD era but they were done by other writers. He turned a show that was mainly science fiction and added the Buffy Element of relationships and love interests. That’s fine for the companions but I was never that keen on seeing The Doctor as being a love interest and that includes Moffat’s 11th Doctor River Song storyline. So when you hear Damaged Goods and here how different it is from his televised Doctor Who you just have to shake your head and wonder what if.

Doctor Who - Toby Whitehouse on Under the Lake
The second Under the Lake interview is with writer Toby Whitehouse.
“I wanted to tell a ghost story in the universe of Doctor Who, and doing with it what the series really thrives upon - taking a traditional idea and finding the sci-fi spin which makes it unique and fresh.
Doctor Who - Sophie Stone Talks Under the Lake
The BBC Media Centre have released two interviews for Under the Lake the first one is with Sophie Stone.
How did you begin your acting career?
Sneakily and with perseverance. I've always found solace and release in the ‘language’ of performance and being told for years that I ‘can't’ made me rebellious and driven. So when a friend dared me to sign up for an acting talent competition which resulted in winning a year’s TV contract, which led to my first paid job on Casualty, I had a thirst to be better. I trained for three years at Rada and was re-born an official actor. This is only the beginning, I'm still learning with every job. That’s the beauty of it.
You play a character who is deaf in a two-part episode based on an underwater base, can you tell us about her?
