As you can see, I’m really struggling with my titles for these Doctor Who reviews. I’m not actually sure why I don’t just state the title – but that would be dull, I suppose. Anywho, in short: Better than Daleks in Manhattan. Just. Look, I wasn’t expecting much from The Sontaran Strategem. Not surprising, really, …

I really don’t do this enough…
… you know, this whole promotion of my writing thing. Anywho, Defining Patterns is now officially out in the UK.
