The extremeness of erasing a life from existence is not as simple as it may seem. For all the people, rightly or wrongly ‘cancelled’ by society because of ill-thought, of a perceived tone of voice when explaining a situation, or because deep down we find their presence to not agree with our judgement of society, the way some have come to believe that a 1984 like world can exist if we scour away all those that defy our perception and image we wish to project.

Nobody ever wants a disappointing end, but in life arguably we must make the most of the final reflection offered us, and whilst we may prefer a reward before the last gasp adventure, quite often it is sadness, perhaps melancholy, and certainly the unavoidable grief that haunts our last and most private thoughts.

Cast: Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, John Bishop, Aisling Bea, Adjani Salmon, Pauline McLynn, Nicholas Briggs, Jonny Dixon, Barnaby Edwards, Nicholas Pegg, Jon Davey.

A plan conceived when the clock is against you is one that will arguably make the old heart beat that little bit faster, and therefore be more memorable, than anything that is carefully and meticulously drawn up over the space of weeks, maybe months, and even years.

You cannot knock the style or the sentiment of certain ideas when they have been placed upon the screen; especially in a time when CGI can put into practice the structure of the author and the imagination of the crew. However, in wanting to declare a revolution one must expect casualties, one person or more will be sacrificed to the winds of war, and many will take a step back and ask if the end justifies the means.

Doctor Who: The Haunting Of Villa Diodati. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The Doctor, no matter who plays the titular role of the long running B.B.C. science fiction programme, is always best observed when the element of humour is gradually replaced by the fear of the unknown, when the adversary actually is represented as the darker side of humanity to which the audience, in its role of observer, is taken to its pinnacle of emotional bond.

There is a war of information and understanding that is hidden under the veil of the so-called generational divide, of those born and raised during the era of the supposed Millennial and the folks who were raised before the rise of Generation X, with those native to the idea of defiance but caught between the two opposing sides, one it could be argued defined by its persuasive shifting attitudes to the environment and the absolute carnage done in humanity’s name, and those to who the memory of annihilation at the hands of madmen have driven them to influence all that come after.

Regardless of whether we feel like we are being preached to, or we accept that occasionally we require reminding, we are not the masters of our world; we may act like it, we rape and pillage all the natural resources, shed a tear as animals burn but count the pounds, shillings and pence as we profit from yet another mine opening, another plastic bag found at the bottom of the sea but we save a tenner on a flight. Such is the cause and effect of our actions on the planet, that we can be seen as monsters in our own reflections, not matter how much good we try to bestow.

It is never the end, not as far as the Doctor and the Daleks are concerned. A writer’s symbol of the evils of Fascism, a nightmare to which we should always guard against returning, and yet seem to find unbelievably steeling its resolve with sharpening and destructive purpose.
