Toby Whithouse's Before The Flood tips its top hat to several references from Doctor Who and elsewhere. Here are our spots...
This article contains lots and lots of spoilers for Before The Flood.
The Doctor and his friends may have gone back to before the flood in this episode, but even the 1980s aren’t safe from echoes of the past; if anything, there’s more of them there, on account of it being the past. So here are our geeky viewing notes for this week’s episode...
Before The Revival
The Doctor seemingly opens the episode by addressing the audience. There have been a handful of occasions in the past on which the Doctor speaks straight into the camera and could possibly be talking to the viewers - Tom Baker’s glib “Even the sonic screwdriver won’t get me out of this one” in The Invasion Of Time,...

Peter Capaldi is far from the only Doctor Who actor to appear in multiple roles. Mark talks us through the many others to have done so...
It's been just over a year since the BBC announced that Peter Capaldi would play the Twelfth Doctor. There were rumblings of his casting in the week before the announcement was made, to the point where bookies stopped taking bets on it.
We've spent the last twelve months in anticipation of what seems like dream casting for the Time Lord, but some of us were a little sceptical that an actor of his profile and standing would take the role until it was actually announced, but “he's been in it before” was not atop the list of reasons why we thought it was too good to be true.
Over the course of 50 years, Doctor Who has inevitably reused actors as different characters- there are...

Pete heads off to the opening night of the big new Doctor Who arena tour. But is Doctor Who Live worth your cash?
Doctor Who has something of a troubled past when it comes to stage productions. 1974's Seven Keys To Doomsday presented an entertaining story, but without the involvement of any of the actors from the television series at the time, while The Ultimate Adventure was anything but, wasting the talents of Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker in a tale which demonstrated some of the era's worst excesses. And the less said about Richard Franklin's vanity piece Recall Unit: The Great T-Bag Mystery, the better.
The latest attempt to translate the Time Lord to the stage is the unimaginatively titled 'Doctor Who Live', currently touring the country.
Nigel Planer stars as Vorgenson, an intergalactic showman who has invented The Minimiser, a device which allows him to shrink...
