Doctor Who: Tesla Aids Rallying Doom Insects, Sentimentally
Ahh.
You hear that? That’s the sound of the sigh of relief I let out when I realized that this week’s episode of Doctor Who, Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror (what a deliciously pulpy banger of a title, by the way), was going to be a historical outing. Of my favourite stories of Chris Chibnall’s run on the show, most of them have been historically-based – Rosa, Spyfall, The Witchfinders, to name a few. There have been some great futuristic or more abjectly sci-fi outings, for sure, but, as last week’s something-to-be-desired proved, this writing room is still very much finding its feet when it comes to the great beyond of the future. But the past? Yes, the past they seem to know how to handle.

Movie Review: Little Women
There’s bite to this Jo, a sharpness and even a sadness that takes us beyond “women are good for more than just marriage” and into “what does life look like for a woman who realizes that”.
