    Celebrating the 11 Doctors of Doctor Who…if they were female

    The idea of a female Doctor has been tossed about for some time over the years but never really gained any sort of traction until recent years, especially with the regeneration following the David Tennant era as the Tenth Doctor.

    Believe it or not, it has been almost a full 24 hours since we last visited the Crawley family and those beneath the stairs that serve them. Given the fact that, most likely, the traumatic events of episode 4 took quite a toll on the worldwide fanbase, I thought it best to wait a bit […]
