Peter Capaldi's time in the TARDIS draws to a close with the
last six episodes of season ten. The Pyramid at the End of
the World and The Lie of the Land continue the story arc of
the malevolent monks, who mount a most unconventional
invasion of Earth; the Ice Warriors return alongside their
resurrected Queen (and a bunch of Victorian Redcoat
soldiers) in Empress of Mars; and what really happened to
the Roman Ninth Legion is revealed in Eaters of the Light.
The best has been saved for last: the two-parter World
Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls is easily one of the
best – and most traditional – Who stories of Steven Moffat's reign and
sees the return of the Mondasian Cybermen (for the first time since 1966),
as well as John Simm's Master. With regeneration energy swirling around
Capaldi's Doctor, the big question that remains is who will be next? SH
Mondasian Cybermen and two Masters!
DOCTOR WHO – SERIES 10: PART 2
Wentworth Miller and Dominic
Purcell return for this 'event
series' reboot, which picks up
eight years after the last Prison
Break and ties up a lot of loose
ends. However, there are some
dubious undertakings, so if you
suspend your disbelief, you’ll
quite enjoy this action-packed
reunion. Purcell and Miller’s
characters virtually swap roles
this time ‘round, with Lincoln
putting his head down and
trying to get his brother Michael
out of harm’s way. If this new
series does one thing right,
it’s closure – surely there’s no
conceivable way to get another
season following this one's
conclusion. Or is there? AK

Coming from Fox TV, the stable
that gave us The X-Files, it's
staggering in a way that this
less heralded mystery series has
outlasted the iconic partnership
of Mulder and Scully. However,
the 12-year run of Bones is a
testament to the wonderful
chemistry between co-stars Emily
Deschanel and David Boreanz as
the crime solving duo, and true to
its commitment to the devoted
fans of the series, their bond is the
primary focus of this sentimental
series finale. The writers have also
ensured they go out with a bang
– a kidnapping, personal tragedy,
and serial killer on the loose
pushes the Bones team to their
limits one last time. AC

Homeland is back on home soil, confronting issues
of internal security and extremism in a polarising but
satisfying season. Carrie Matheson is now working as an
advocate for Muslim Americans in New York, but should
she be suspicious of a kid with a fervent desire to shoot
videos of terrorist attacks? She also has the ear of the
new Madame President-elect (ok, so the writers got that
bit wrong), who has a secret that makes her the target of
a muckraking talk show host. Behind the scenes is Dar
Adal, who's even more the shadowy puppetmaster this
season, manipulating events to serve his own agenda and threatening to
destroy Saul's reputation in the process. And then there's poor old Quinn,
now a paranoid, traumatised shell of a man following his ordeal in Berlin;
it's his plight and ultimate fate that viewers will be most invested in. SH
Ripped from today's headlines.
HOMELAND: SEASON 6
If you've followed Girls this far,
you'll know that for the first
three seasons, Hannah (Lena
Dunham) and Adam (Adam
Driver) were the couple at the
nexus of this ensemble drama.
Things took a turn in series
four, however, when Adam
paired up with Hannah's bestie
Jessa (Jemima Kirke) following
an extended period of heat
and touchy-feely. According
to Dunham, it took a bit of
convincing to get co-creator
Jenni Konner on board, and it's
a hint to Dunham's masterplan
of sorts. In this sixth and
final season, the routes to
self-fulfilment remain just as
unpredictable. AC

THE FINAL SEASON
Release Date:
26/07/17
Format:
The adventures of monster hunter
Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli)
continue, as he uncovers a
local cult of Wesen – monsters
resembling those in the stories
of the Brothers Grimm. Think of
Grimm as being like a cop show,
albeit with a supernatural twist.
Heading into the penultimate
season, Nick is feeling quite
derailed. He’s lost Juliette, his
mother, and now he’s got a kid
with Adalind – yeah, the same
Adalind that wasn’t exactly friendly.
The Wesen he's up against as a
Grimm are only becoming stronger
and more deadly, and the dreaded
Black Claw uprising is at his
doorstep. In other words, things
are looking, er, grim. AK
