We are all the heroes of our own story, that much is universally acknowledged, we may flatter to deceive ourselves, we embellish certain parts, omit the painful if possible and yet despite all this we might also think of our existence in stark black and white, the villain, the destroyer of dreams and the devil in everybody else’s detail. It is human nature to see ourselves as both the dashing hero and the anarchic tornado which sweeps through the lives of others, pulling the ground that is beneath their feet and tossing them aside when the mood suits us.

You can’t keep a good franchise down; lord knows they tried with the release of the much maligned episodes one and two of the Star Wars saga, but no matter what, eventually the licence to entertain and print money, sell merchandise and hopefully the true point of making a good story realised on screen will see the series continue.

Coal Hill School in the centre of the East End of London seems to be the centre of the known universe when it comes to the stories concerning The Doctor and his fascination/exasperation for his favourite species and their planet. So much so that not only could the Doctor could be seen as the custodian of Humanity’s existence but when the time comes, he cannot keep away from the school in which some of his most memorable companions and perhaps pivotal moments have taken root. The Caretaker he has been and seems to relish in being.
