Actually, I couldn’t think of a better title to say “The Three Doctors, but not those three…”. As I’ve recently been turning some of my CD collection into iPod tracks and having stumbled across a couple of audio Doctor Who‘s that I bought some years ago but didn’t listen to, […]

The fourth season of Airwolf opens with an ambitious episode that attempts to knit together the previous three years with a new era, and new cast. It ends up being a bit of a “jack of all trades, master of none”, in which it adequately does the job it needs […]
