Suzanne says…it’s all about changes
The Gallifrey Times has regenerated, and therefore this is the perfect opportunity to think about what “change” means for us, Whovians. Stating the obvious: change is part of a Whovian’s DNA. Change is Doctor Who’s trademark since Patrick Troughton took over William Hartnell’s role. Whovians are used to see changes in Doctor Who, be it…
Read MoreSuzanne says… is gender now a tricky notion?
Earlier this week, I read a tweet about the title of Series 13’s first episode. The author was pointing out that since the notion of gender was irrelevant in Doctor Who, a title like “The woman who fell to Earth” might be considered a bit awkward. I found this statement quite interesting and therefore I…
Read MoreSuzanne says… why do we keep ranking the Doctor(s)?
I found myself recently toying with the idea of having a favourite Doctor and it turns out that I do have one!

Review by Suzanne Tiny Rebel Games has finally released their highly anticipated Doctor Who Infinity game on Steam. The Orphans of the Polyoptra is the second of three stories available for purchase and features the Third Doctor and Jo Grant, who find themselves during WWII bombings in 1942.

Read MoreSuzanne says… From ‘The Waters of Mars’ to water on Mars
I have always enjoyed watching science-fiction shows. Not just because of the new worlds that are created, but mainly because of the science behind the fiction. By creating storylines set in the future, artists (writers, showrunners, etc.) project themselves in the future and try to describe how it would be like, what kind of technologies…
Read MoreSuzanne says… I finally met the Tenth Doctor
13 years ago, when I was first introduced to Doctor Who, it was a time of joy for Whovians. Their favourite show was finally back! 13 years ago, I discovered a fascinating character, I witnessed his regeneration and… I stopped watching Doctor Who. Now don’t get me wrong. I didn’t stop watching because my heart…
Read MoreSuzanne says… it’s good to be back
Did you think I had nothing more to say about Doctor Who? Sure, it has been a while since I wrote here, but there is always something to say about our beloved Doctor! And after a few months of hiatus, I’m back for Season 2 of those opinion articles. So, what did trigger my return,…
Read MoreSuzanne says… that was quite unexpected
If you haven’t watched the Christmas special already, then you might want to skip reading this article and save it for later, when you have watched Twice Upon a Time. Yes, there are spoilers ahead! It’s over. While some people spend December eating the daily chocolate they find in their Advent Calendar, Whovians spend it…
Read MoreSuzanne says… music is part of Doctor Who’s DNA
With Delia Derbyshire awarded with a posthumous honorary doctorate of arts and the recent passing of Who music legend Dudley Simpson, I felt compelled to write about how important music is in Doctor Who. First, let me state an obvious fact: opening credits are part of a TV show’s identity. You hear a certain tune…
Read MoreSuzanne says… is Doctor Who fashionable?
With Doctor Who’s new outfit revealed last week, Whovians got a first glimpse of the Thirteenth Doctor (and her new TARDIS). They instantly started to study the Doctor’s choice of clothing, pinpointing the similarities with her previous incarnations. Seeing the posts flourish about the Doctor’s new outfit, I couldn’t help but remember the Fourth and…
