[Editor’s Note: The following review of “Doctor Who” Season 10, Episode 8, “The Lie of the Land,” contains spoilers.]
The Rundown
“Doctor Who” wades into political territory this week by painting the ruling Monks as fascist overlords who control the media, establish martial law and punish all opponents.

Director Richard Bracewell chats to us about Bill, and the behind the scenes struggle to bring it to the screen.
Regular readers of Den Of Geek will well know that we're sizeable fans of the comedy Bill. It's available on DVD now, and we can't recommend it highly enough.
What wasn't so well known at the time of its release was that Bill went through a distributor change last year, which at one stage looked like it might derail a wide cinema release, and thus keep the movie away from many people's eyeballs. We thus spoke to director Richard Bracewell about the film, and the behind the scenes story of just what was going on...

While driving his Trainwreck co-stars Amy Schumer and Bill Hader and the film's director Judd Apotow around his home town of Akron, Ohio, the Cleveland Cavaliers small forward pitched in some ideas of his own for the Trainwreck sequel. LeBron's first matter of business is to kill off Bill early in the sequel and then to make the moves on Amy while she's vulnerable during the grieving process.
