The place for informed discussion and analysis of film and media!

My name is Richard D. Carrier and when I'm not teaching English, Media or History, I like to read, watch and study. This is the result!

Please follow my Facebook page for updates!

Currently in production: A series of reviews and analyses of the longest running Sci-fi show in history, Doctor Who. Each episode will consider a different Doctor's era, discussing, in-depth, their themes and tone, as well as nominating a story as my personal favourite.

Also in production: An unabridged audiobook of 'Matrix' by Robert Perry and Mike Tucker, one of my all time favourite Dr Who novels, long out of print. This will be a six part series with immersive sound design.

It was honour to be interviewed by the lovely Ed Gross of Women's World for his article on the incomparable Tom Baker and his time on our favourite show. It's quite a thrill seeing my name in print! Ed's written a great primer on this important era of the show. Check it out at the link below:

I know, I know, it's not the Capaldi video! My apologies! I had intended to have it ready for 23rd November but, alas, it's not quite finished yet. I hope to have it complete by early in the new year, if not earlier. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this full audiobook recording of the 'Lungbarrow' of which I released a chapter a week on my Patron over the last year. Here it is, all edited together for those of you that have always wanted to hear the story of this seminal final book of the Seventh Doctor's New Adventures!

'Tis the season for some spookiness! If you fancy some good, old-fashioned haunting check out the latest from TT Productions. It was an honour to play a part in this tale of theatrical terror!

It was an absolute joy to play a really nasty piece of work in the latest instalment of the Victorian detective series 'Undercover Eve' from TT Productions! If you fancy a bit of Holmesian intrigue, leavened by a healthy dose of humour (especially from the incomparable woman of a thousand voices, Chelsea Lagan) then check this out!

If you fancy some delightfully moreish academic analyses whilst you wait for my Capaldi era video, you should definitely check out the wonderful Companion's Log! This bite-size interpretation of 14th Doctor stand-out 'Wild Blue Yonder' is particularly worth a watch! #DoctorWho

It was an absolute pleasure to be welcomed back to the inimitable Who Knew podcast for a discussion of the latest episode of what’s shaping up to be a superlative season of #DoctorWho. Thanks again to Josh for stimulating chat about an episode that surprised us both with its important themes.

It was an honour to guest on the Who’s There podcast to discuss a great episode of Doctor Who with the joyous and jocular Troy and Crispy! It’s unusual for me to give my thoughts on such a recent instalment but I was more than happy to do so with these two legends! Thanks again for having me! #DoctorWho
