Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor Era (2023-2025)

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm writing about season 2 of the 2023 Doctor Who revival! In fact, I'm going to go one better than that and write about the Fifteenth Doctor's entire era, including seasons 1, 2 and the 60th anniversary specials.

I've ended up covering Doctor Who from both ends, as I've completed Doctors 1-9 and now this finishes off Doctors 13-15. I suppose someday I'll have to get around to reviewing the Tennant, Smith and Capaldi eras and complete the set, assuming anyone's even interested in those guys.

I just realised that this could be my last chance to write about the iconic diamond logo. Well, unless I go back to one of Tom Baker's serials. I wasn't kind to it during my classic series marathon, writing that "it looks like it belongs on a bottle of ketchup", but they've done a great job of updating it in 3D and it's grown on me. Incidentally I'm glad that Doctor Who does update its logo every now and then... and I'm equally glad that Star Wars doesn't. I don't even know how that logic works.

Anyway, at the time of writing this is the latest point in Doctor Who, the very edge of what has been filmed and aired, so if you're watching the series for the first time then good news: I won't be spoiling anything that happens next. On the other hand, that means there could be SPOILERS here for absolutely everything that currently exists, though I'll mostly be sticking to the episodes featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor.

Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Era (2005)

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm writing about series 1 of the 2005 Doctor Who revival! In fact, I'm going to go one better than that and write about the Ninth Doctor's entire era. This isn't going to make any difference to the text really, as Christopher Eccleston only had the one season, but it does mean that I'm giving the article a different title! 

I've already covered Doctors 1-8 years ago when I watched a Classic Who marathon on Twitch, so a look at Nine's run is well overdue. In fact, I'm going to start right now by criticising the logo. An oval covered in light bulbs is a bit of a strange choice and the cheap-looking lens flares aren't helping. I prefer the fiery variant that's been in all the end credits and I suppose one of the producers agreed with me as they made it the main logo in season 3 and put it on the DVD boxes.

Okay, there are going to be SPOILERS below, but only up until Parting of the Ways. So if you're watching the series for the first time this should be safe for you.
