Surely the way to hit back at the Soviets would be to kill someone in Moscow?

A Russian microwave is an old lady with a WW2 era kerosene stove running on black market Armenian potato juice.

Season One is the best Season!

If you do get off on English accents, I don't see why you aren't a Dr Who fan.

In a way him having an English accent is better than him having a French accent.  If the show is supposed to come from a French POV, an English accent represents the normalcy of a French person hearing themselves speaking French.  Speaking English with a French accent is like… wat

I would love to have been at the writing meeting where they said "OK, the Master was a classic villain we re-worked successfully.  We need to do even better in the epic finale send-off for the most beloved modern Doctor"

How did they blow up the TARDIS?  I mean, that's presumably quite hard to do.  And we never saw it.

I really don't see what's wrong with Eleven's original tweed jacket.
