Classic Rewatch: Resurrection of the Daleks
Forces collide, factions splinter, and Tegan has had enough in this particularly violent encounter with Davros and his creations.
The Power of the Doctor
After five years and three seasons at the helm of Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall gives Thirteen and the entire cast and crew a most enjoyable sendoff.
Legend of the Sea Devils
With a keystone, a sword, and an elephant in the console room, Thirteen and friends head to 19th century China to thwart a catastrophic plan from a classic foe.
Eve of the Daleks
The first of Chris Chibnall’s finale trio of specials traps the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan in a self-storage center, all wrapped in a diminishing deadly time loop.
Revolution of the Daleks
After ten months of waiting, we dip back into the daily doings of the three isolated companions to see how they’ve fared with their ten months away from the Doctor.
