The Duke of York’s Theatre is an intimate little place somewhat hidden away in the bustling heart of London; as such, it’s the ideal venue for this new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, starring Eleventh Doctor actor, Matt Smith, a production which is in your face, caustic, mesmerising, confrontational, uncomfortable, and utterly shocking.

Samuel West Recalls Joy of Shooting Dimensions in Time and Hopes to Be in #DoctorWho Again Soon
Samuel West, an actor with plenty of plaudits and high-profiles, says his brief on-screen appearance in Doctor Who is the “finest point of my career”.
It occurred in Dimensions in Time, a two-part story broadcast in 1993 that lasted 12 minutes and was actually a crossover between the show and EastEnders. The significance of his appearance, and little slice of dialogue in this story is because he…

The fourth volume of Big Finish’s Classic Doctors New Monsters takes the range to a new level, this time solely focusing on three Steven Moffat creations. They’re so unique in different ways, they don’t disappoint. And isn’t it a funny coincidence that the anthology was released a few days before the exciting announcement of Moffat returning to write an episode for Season 1 (or as I prefer to…
