As you may have noticed, it takes us a few days or so to actually get round to writing up our episode reviews – but we also clocked last week that plenty of you were chomping at the bit to discuss “The Eleventh Hour” the moment the credits rolled, and did so accordingly on whatever post you happened to stumble across. So in the interests of keeping things nice and simple, we’ll be doing these posts each Saturday afternoon for the next twelve weeks, enabling you to hop on here straight away and start talking about what you’ve just seen – before we then follow up with a review (some time between the Wednesday and Friday of the following week) that galvanises our own thoughts somewhat.

So : “The Beast Below”. Smilers, floating UK, Amy in her nightie. Can it possibly improve on “The Eleventh Hour”?

For those of you with a passing interest in The Beautiful Game will know that today’s FA Cup semi final between Aston Villa and Chelsea is kicking off at the odd time of 5pm.  So, just late enough to cross into Doctor Who‘s territory, then.  Shamefully, I’ll be chosing the football over Who (I’M GOING TO WEMBLEY, actually) but I suspect anyone in the same position as me will be time-shifting Who, so the overall ratings should take no major hit.

This weeks episode certainly looks like a cracker, and if you want to whet your stupid appetite then you could do much worse than having a look at these preview clips.  The words “feel”, “like”, “McCoy” and “era” leap instantly to mind, which certainly bodes well for our Scouse in Chief.  Be sure to talk incessantly about what you thought of the episode in the comments, and we’ll have a review up for you at some point during the week.

By the way, by reading this post you have automatically agreed to its Terms & Conditions, stating that Chealsea are cunts and Aston Villa are the greatest football team the world has ever seen.  Just so you know, like.
