TV Review: Doctor Who – Series 12 and the Timeless Child arc
SPOILERS AHEAD! Doctor Who Series 12 has come to an end after an all-too-brief 10 episodes and it’s been a mixed bag. I was super-underwhelmed by the opening two-parter, Spyfall, which had 45 minutes’ worth of story drawn out into two 60-minute episodes.

Did one of the Princes in the Tower survive?
Was Britain’s oldest missing persons case actually solved seven years after it happened? According to some historians—yes. If you’re a Tudor history aficionado, you’ve probably heard the name ‘Perkin Warbeck’. This was a man who turned up in 1490 saying he had a better claim to the English throne than the man currently sat on… Read more

TV Review: Netflix’s The Stranger – not a good example of a conspiracy thriller, frankly

Until they don’t. The fact that new Netflix show The Stranger was billed as a conspiracy thriller made me assume something… Read more

The truth about the secret Nazi base on the moon
Neil Armstrong was not the first man on the moon. Hitler was. He beat Armstrong by 27 years, according to a conspiracy theory that festers in the far reaches of the internet. As far as I can tell, these claims originate in a science fiction novel called Rocket Ship Galileo by Robert A. Heinlein. It… Read more

The secret female pope: is the Catholic Church covering up the existence of Pope Joan?
So I thought it was high time I got back to writing regular monthly articles on conspiracy theories, urban legends and mysterious/paranormal happenings. And boy am I starting with a corker!
