***The following is a detailed recap of the episode “The Robot Revolution,” and it contains major spoilers for the episode. You can also read our spoiler-free review here.***
Seventeen years ago, Alan Budd (Jonny Green) sits with his girlfriend, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) looking at the stars. He gives her a birthday gift, a certificate for ownership of a star. She questions if it has to say “Miss” with her name. He asks her if she’s married, and she tells him she’s not, so he says then it is miss and asks if she likes it. She tells him it’s the nicest thing anyone has done for her, and they share an awkward kiss.
Seventeen years later, the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) arrives at the hospital in his TARDIS. He goes inside where Belinda is working as a nurse. He’s looking for someone. A doctor tells Belinda on her way out that there is a doctor looking for her, but she leaves. The Doctor asks the woman at the front desk (Belinda Owusu) for information, but she is not allowed to give that out. He distracts her and then uses his sonic on her computer, and it knocks out the power in the whole building. He apologizes.
Later, Belinda lays in bed when her room starts to shake and the star certificate, which is framed on the wall, falls down. She goes to the window and sees a rocket ship land outside.
Large red robots smash their way into the apartment through the wall. One points a ray gun at her. She says they can’t be actual robots, because it’s ridiculous, and scolds them as they wreck the apartment.

In tonight’s episode of The Hunting Party, Bex (Melissa Roxburgh), Hassani (Patrick Sabongui), and Shane (Josh McKenzie) track down Jenna Wells (Eliza Coupe), who was known as the Killer Chemist, because she chose her victims while working at a pharmacy, killing them by replacing their prescriptions. At the end of the episode, although they do catch her, it’s not before she poisons Odell (Nick Wechsler), leaving his fate uncertain. In another twist, Colonel Lazarus (Kari Matchett) is revealed to not only have a barcode on her foot, meaning she was potentially one of those experimented on at the Pit, but also to be Shane’s biological mother whose identity he had been searching for throughout the season.

Arriving on a planet where the humans have been subjugated and robot overlords rule, she’s told she must marry and weld with a robot that knows no pity or mercy, and it’s there that she meets the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) who has a plan to save her and start a rebellion.

Written and directed by Chris Reading and narrated by Stephen Fry, Time Travel Is Dangerous, which is now in theaters, is a quintessentially British comedy that blends witty dialogue, quirky characters, and a bit of the absurd with a touching story. The film revolves around best friends Ruth Syratt and Megan Stevenson, who run a vintage shop in Muswell Hill in London. When they stumble upon a time machine, they decide to “borrow” items from the past to stock their shop, aiming to find unique pieces. However, they must navigate the perilous time-space vortex known as “The Unreason.” The film features an ensemble cast, with Ruth and Megan playing characters based on themselves. Set around their actual Muswell Hill vintage shop ChaChaCha, the film adds a real-life documentary element to the sci-fi mockumentary.
