Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E07: Camping Trip
Last week: Brenda and Andrea vied for the love of Mr Suiter, who turned out to be an arse anyway, and Brandon magically got his old job at the Peach Pit back despite being the world’s least reliable employee. This week: everyone goes on a camping trip, which is predictably full of booze, unplanned pregnancy, and near-disaster. Oddly enough, despite eight teenagers being alone in the woods, there’s nary an axe-wielding murderer in sight.

Doctor Who, S04 E11: Turn Left
This week: What would have happened if Donna had never met the Doctor? We find out when she accidentally creates a Doctor-less universe. Apparently, Catherine Tate would have shouted a whole lot more.

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E06:Pass/Not Pass
Last week: Brandon irresponsibly took on a Big Brother role to an abused young boy, had him taken into foster care and promptly abandoned him, never to be heard of again, while Kelly’s mom started dating David’s dad. This week: Brenda and Andrea are both hot for teacher, and Brandon finally buys his new car, which predictably turns out to be a disaster. Hurrah!

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E05: Play It Again, David
Last week: Brandon broke the Beach Club rules to let some kids in to play illicit midnight poker, and then flailed around and blamed Dylan when the club got robbed. This week: Kelly’s mother starts dating David’s dad, and we’re expected to suddenly believe that David is more than a creepy stalker. Oh, and Brandon rescues an abused kid, despite acting completely unethically throughout. Yes, again.

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E04: Anaconda
Last week: Dylan moved in with the Walshes after being injured in a surfing accident, and all sorts of hijinks ensued. This week: Brenda catches the sun, and Brandon and Dylan catch the gambling bug.

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E03: Summer Storm
Last week: Brandon realised that the lives of the denizens of the Beach Club were not as glamorous as he thought, and Brenda communed with her inner child. This week: Dylan moves in with the Walshes following a surfing accident, and Jim behaves like the arsiest arse who ever arsed.

Doctor Who, S04 E07: The Unicorn and the Wasp
This week: we get possibly the downright silliest episode of the new Who. And yet, despite herself, Anna is entertained.

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E02: The Party Fish
Last week: Brenda and Dylan broke up, and my heart broke a tiny bit alongside them, and Brandon callously ditched Nat and the Peach Pit for a swanky job as a cabana boy. This week: Brandon plays fast and loose with his employers yet again, and Brenda spends a ridiculous amount of time wearing a heavy wool coat and sobbing for her mommy. Yes, really.

Doctor Who, S04 E06:The Doctor’s Daughter
This week: The Doctor has a daughter. A perky, somersaulting daughter. Anna is slightly underwhelmed.
