Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The brightest star can be seen for only a short time, that does not mean its value is diminished, it does not mean that it only exists in our memory for the least amount of time, it just reflects the volume of luminosity that it offered as its brief reign was felt by all who saw it, who was influenced by its appearance, or who have only found its existence through the mention of a greater power. That star will be forever astonishing.

When we know the outcome, we may be distracted from learning the truth behind the tale.
For many, the fact that we have been taught to repeat facts ad nauseum, parrot fashion so that for example we can quote the dates of factory acts, of F.A. Cup finals, of Nobel prize winners with certainty, we forget to delve closer to the human being affected by or instrumental in the cause of history being made, altered, or even in some cases saved.

With all respect intended, the 80s were arguably the moment when popular music hit its absolute zenith. The 60s were magical, the 70s illuminating, but the 80s seemed to bring music completely to a different audience that required a diversity of sound, the first sense of expanding genres, blurring them, marketing them with aggression, the battle to be the hero or heroine on the walls of the new teenagers, the Generation X wave and to make the most of the new modes of delivering sound to the senses…that was the moment when it truly reached its moments.

Strange New Worlds, a misfortune that we today are stuck in between two different periods of exploration and that we have lost the capability to be curious and respectful of cultures vastly different to ours; and it is to this era in which we inhabit that has flexed our need to change the world we live in, to push discovery further up the social agenda.

Inclusivity has arguably never had so much attention cast upon it, the weary eye of the put upon silent majority misunderstanding the point of the word, of the detail, and grasping at it as of it’s a barbed weapon they are forbidden to touch, to have no empathy to the souls who only ask for respect for being alive; of being able to live their lives without fear.

Perhaps we are conditioned by what we hear when we envisage certain place names. To hear for example the city name of New York will light up the mind in response to dynamic abundance, of bright lights and big personalities; Paris will conjure up romance and revolution, of enlightenment, and Liverpool of solidarity, of art, and the willingness to fight for belief, and each of these places are captured righty in every detail through art, through song and lyric.

The Doctor’s lives are being extinguished too fast, the degeneration effect that is afflicting him is seeing the many faces of the time traveller rapidly thrown out of time and out of place. Old friends are unknown, and new ones forged in an order that would threaten the sanity of anyone, but to whom the one who cannot but help the universe when it faces trouble, it is one that could see the end of all that history and what is to come destroyed forever.

George Orwell got it wrong.
We are not afraid, cowering in our rooms writing in subversive diaries and avoiding confrontation with our neighbours, we have become experts at exposing the very potential that makes us spies for the state, unpaid, unregulated emissaries willing to be praised for bringing to light the slightest misdemeanour in which our friends can suffer the brutality and want of the baying righteous mob.

When we think of literature’s greatest female characters, we could possibly be forgiven for ignoring, or passing by, the marvellous Milady de Winter.
