Doctor Doctor–Season 2, Episode 6 (Penny For Your Thoughts)

I felt that this episode was a bit of a filler or rather a springboard for the remainder of the season. The main focus of this episode was Toke clearly wanting to propose to Penny. Ironically this was a clear sign that the relationship was clearly going to end as they have barely had much of a relationship due to

Doctor Doctor–Season 2, Episode 5 (Both Sides Now)

This episode introduced two new characters and explored the ramifications of the electoral fraud. The introduction of Penny’s solicitor sister, Celia (Ella Scott Lynch), provided a breath of fresh air for the season. Her interactions with Penny at the beginning of the episode provided some one-liner gold and gave a nice insight into their relationship, however I felt her disposition

The Wrong Girl–Season 2, Episode 3

Well this episode revolved around what looked like a marriage proposal, when it was obvious from the beginning there wouldn’t be one. The episode starts with Lily finding her grandmother’s ring in Jack’s pocket and the panic kicks off from there, going back in time 24 hours. The fact that Lily was panicking and even dreading having to deal with

Doctor Doctor–Season 2, Episode 4 (The Great Campaign)

I emphasised in my review of last week’s episode that the episode revolved around character development, this week’s episode revolved around plot/story arc development. This week’s episode was split into A, B and C stories. The A story being Ajax’s work experience at the hospital, the B story being the recount of the council election ballots, and the C story

The Wrong Girl–Season 2, Episode 2

Now the premiere has come and gone, the season can get well and truly underway. This episode’s A story focused on Jack and Lily trying to find their own place, or at least that’s what the writers were trying to have it focused on. Simone’s efforts to find a girlfriend for Vincent, and Lily and Pete’s fight over using the

Doctor Doctor–Season 2, Episode 3 (Talent Showdown)

This episode felt completely different to the previous two and I think it was due to the amount of character development. This episode provided major character development with Hayley and Charlie. With Hayley we learn that she was adopted like Ajax, meet her parents, and see where her religious beliefs and pressures come from. With Charlie, we learn that she

Alice Springs Running Festival 2017 (NT)

On Sunday 20 August, I participated in the Alice Springs Running Festival. Its official website states that the Alice Springs Running Festival “is the Red Centre’s pinnacle running event, held on the third Sunday in August.” The Alice Springs Running Festival consisted of four distances–a marathon, a half-marathon, 10km and 5km. I chose to complete the 5km distance. Weather-wise, the

Doctor Doctor–Season 2, Episode 2 (Your Game)

Now that the premiere has come and gone, the season can really get underway. The A story focusing on Ajax and Hayley was incredibly sweet and touching, as well as hilarious. Hayley struggling with her conflict between her religious beliefs and human desires was realistic, funny and true to her character. Both hers’ and Ajax’s reactions to their “first time”
