July 11, 20205 yr Day 1: Favourite episode from Series 1: The Empty Child Day 2: Favourite companion: Donna Noble Day 3: Favourite episode from Series 2: The Impossible Planet Day 4: Favourite monster: The Silence Day 5: Favourite episode from Series 3: Blink Day 6: Favourite spin-off: Torchwood Day 7: Favourite episode from Series 4: Midnight - an amazing series but this is easy, absolute claustrophobic perfection! The Doctor at his absolute most powerless. Day 8: Best planet to have been shown on Doctor Who: Gallifrey Day 9: Favourite episode from 2008-10 & 2013 Specials: The Waters of Mars Day 10: An underrated episode: Kill the Moon Day 11: Favourite episode from Series 5: The Time of Angels Day 12: A quote from Doctor Who that inspires you: In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important Day 13: Favourite episode from Series 6: Day of the Moon Day 14: Funniest episode: The Unicorn and the Wasp Day 15: Favourite episode from Series 7: Asylum of the Daleks Day 16: Best relationship between two characters - Ten & Donna Day 17: Favourite episode from Series 8: Flatline Day 18: Favourite guest/recurring character: River Song Day 19: Favourite episode from Series 9: The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion Day 20: An episode that makes you cry / feel emotional: Journey’s End Day 21: Favourite episode from Series 10: World Enough and Time Day 22: Best writer: Steven Moffatt - his greats do outweigh his more questionable choices. I mean he’s wrote 6/10 of the best of each series above! (although don’t know why it’s just dawned on me that Series 11 is the first series since the revival to not have an episode written by him)

July 11, 20205 yr Day 21: Favourite episode from Series 10: World Enough and Time Have to concur, this was excellent. Actually made the Cybermen frightening again and some truly chilling moments as well and Missy and the Master's dynamic was great. Wasn't the best season overall, but this was a great send off. Day 22: Best writer: Steven Moffat For all his faults, he's definitely very skilled at writing complex, intriguing and very scary storylines. He wrote a lot of the earlier classics earlier on and though as showrunner, he didn't QUITE deliver overall, I'd gladly have him back these days!
July 11, 20205 yr wait I put River for best recurring character when Missy exists!! a mistake if I ever saw one

Heaven Sent really is a masterpiece from start to finish though :wub:

July 12, 20205 yr Day 23: Favourite episode from Series 11: Rosa A very average and completely tension-free series looking back, I doubt I'll ever revisit this. Rosa was a highlight as it had a great message and a unique premise for Doctor Who, it didn't need that really pointless villain, but the rest of it was well done. The only other ones I'd keep are The Woman Who Fell to Earth and The Witchfinders.
August 27, 20204 yr we gonna finish this Day 1: Favourite episode from Series 1: The Empty Child Day 2: Favourite companion: Donna Noble Day 3: Favourite episode from Series 2: The Impossible Planet Day 4: Favourite monster: The Silence Day 5: Favourite episode from Series 3: Blink Day 6: Favourite spin-off: Torchwood Day 7: Favourite episode from Series 4: Midnight - an amazing series but this is easy, absolute claustrophobic perfection!

Clara's theme is really great too, tbh all the companions themes of Murray Golds are incredible (Donna's jazzy elevator theme *.*)

Gripping, heartbreaking and shocking! The only downside is they revealed Simm's return in advance - imagine if they'd kept it under wraps! :o
August 29, 20204 yr oh sod it Day 24: Favourite soundtrack music Doctor Who Theme: Series 1 and 2 (easily the most dramatic and meaty of them all, I Am The Doctor also great) Day 25: Favourite episode from Series 12 Fugitive of the Judoon (even if the pay off we got didn't add up, the set up and suspense built was top notch) Day 26: An overrated episode Listen (idk it was a bit too detached and just felt like Moffat's done this kind of thing better before? Not bad at all, just not one I quite got as much as everyone else seemingly) Day 27: Favourite Christmas / New Year special Last Christmas (felt like it had better writing and unexpected plot twists, unlike the obvious, silly adventure these usually are. The Snowmen is also good) Day 28: Best Regeneration Nine to Ten (just cos of those iconic 'So was I' and 'Barcelona' and that it's the only one that isn't a goddamn crashing TARDIS) Day 29: Favourite Doctor Ten (Obvs, no comment needed here. He's what got me into the show) Day 30: Favourite overall episode / story: Between Blink and Midnight but I'll give it to the former. whew~

Fugitive was the most enjoyable and shocking ride but it doesn’t all link up when you look back (both Captain Jack and the police box are quite showy twists rather than any thought being put into them). Spyfall Part 1 was a great spy film homage, really cinematic and loved the addition of O & Daniel Barton, with a gripping cliffhanger!

Davies Russell knew how to make a script interesting. He fleshed out the guest characters and made so many of them memorable even 10 years on from the end of his tenure. Neither of his successors have managed that with their guest characters IMO! Russell got just the right tone, with some fantastic visual monsters as well as intricate and interesting plotlines.

Overrated is tough because I have a love for (nearly) all episodes and I definitely love what Human Nature does and turning the show on its head. I just don't share the same adoration for it as I see everywhere else. It's more an 8/10 for me.

The Snowmen, The Husbands of River Song and Voyage of the Damned are also lots of great fun and A Christmas Carol is like the perfect Christmas episode
