Reason is the greatest weapon in any detective’s arsenal, the ability to see through the conflicting lies and deceit with just the use of the mind is enough to elevate any investigator in the eyes of the public. Surveillance, the reliance on electronic snooping on a suspect in any criminal case is all well and good to dot the I’s and cross the T’s in the courts of law, but it is the intuition, the logic and wit of those who devote themselves to the dogged truth that prove a lawbreaker can be caught with sound judgement at all times.

A television detective must have a flaw to convey a sense of security with the viewer, and in a period when flaws are accurately shown as a different kind of strength, the connection between viewer and the solving of a complex crime has perhaps never been keener.

Professor T. Television Series Review. (2021).

The detective with a unique quirk is nothing new to the overwhelming amount of television programmes dedicated to the genre; even those who assist the police have their own routines and ways which can, if written with care, make them stand out in such a way that the public takes to them, and watch them become, if not national treasures, then at least interesting enough to warrant their inclusion in the television watchers weekly habitual intake.

Doctor Who: Dalek Universe 1. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: David Tennant, Jane Slavin, Joe Sims, Juliet Aubrey, Nicholas Briggs, Maria Teresa Creasey, Mark Gatiss, Chris Jarman, Kevin McNally, Gemma Whelen.

Time has a habit of bringing us back to that place we think we have left behind forever.

The Doctor, especially in his tenth incarnation, has lived through the emotional turmoil of losing companions, his people, and at times, his own perspective on the Universe; pushed through time and sometimes not able to withstand the pressure facing him from all sides. He might win, he might save the day, but it feels like a loss, a devastating failure in which his actions to save Gallifrey in a previous life still echo around him like marbles in a tin can.

The demand for some sort of history is never truly satisfied or sated and after many years of watching Sky have a tight grip on historical dramas in screening of The Tudors, the B.B.C. finally get to dip their feet in the murky waters of the British Royal family in the adaptation of Philippa Gregory’s The White Queen.
