Out on Friday

A week on from the finale of Season 2 (and what ended up being the end of Ncuti Gatwa's time as the Doctor), let's look back on this era of the show and create a ranking of the episodes. It was the start (of sorts) of Russell T Davies' big return to Doctor Who following Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker's departure, following the 60th Anniversary specials. Alongside David Tennant's return as the new fourteenth Doctor and with a very different regeneration to anything we'd seen before on the show, Ncuti managed to dominate the final act of The Giggle before taking centre stage in The Church on Ruby Road as the first black actor to be the Doctor in the main role. This era also saw Disney come on board as a worldwide streaming partner, and both finales were taken for outings to the big screen. Simply rank each of the stories from the Ncuti Gatwa era from favourite (1) to least favourite (16) and in a couple of weeks we'll see what comes out on top for BuzzJack The Ncuti Gatwa Era The Church on Ruby Road Space Babies The Devil's Chord Boom 73 Yards Dot and Bubble Rogue The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death Joy to the World The Robot Revolution Lux The Well Lucky Day The Story & The Engine The Interstellar Song Contest Wish World / The Reality War

We can but hope

This is decent. Would've loved for her to come back with a big summer anthem but sadly feel that's something we're probably not going to get again until she decides to go all in with another album. Artistic progression isn't really something I care for with Rita because it's clear music isn't at the forefront of her very being or the only thing she lives for now. Sure she's capable of amazing things when she gets it right but I'm here for her dropping bops here and there when she feels like it.

Yeah ngl I'm not feeling this. It's decent enough but nowhere near being as good as any of the singles from Short n' Sweet (even Please Please Please I've come to really like now). Obviously they can't all be big hitters like those but... this to launch a new era?

Enrique Iglesias feat. Ludacris & DJ Frank E - Tonight (I'm f***in' You) Elton John & Dua Lipa - Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) Charlie Puth feat. Kehlani - Done For Me Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream I'd appreciate taking a flying dart to the eye more than hearing that James Blake song again

Fifth Harmony - The Life CHVRCHES - Final Girl The Saturdays - Work (Phil Tan Radio Mix) WALK THE MOON - Tightrope A-ha - Hunting High and Low Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing That A-ha song was actually pretty decent for a change. The Fifth Harmony slander saga continuing though a BOP and reminds me what a great album 7/27 is!

I think R&B need a poll of their own

Situated in the ceremonial county of Surrey - with Greater London to the north-east, Kent to the east, East and West Sussex to the south, and Hampshire and Berkshire to the west - is a comfortable, picturesque and calamitous establishment known as the Hamilton Lodge. Over the years it has provided much-needed escapism for many, including Miranda Hart. With kettles, milklets, trouser-presses, spare cushions in wardrobes, speedy turndown service, and a very handsome staff member named Jason, this hotel provides all you could ever need for a short stay when you should be in Thailand. Our contestants are here to put on the biggest show the hotel has ever seen, and to see the sights only a stone's throw away (Gary's, The Joke Shop). In the same boat as the men, the groups have now lost two contestants - YVA at the auditions and ENHYPEN at Boot Camp. There are six groups left in the competition and they've checked in to the Hamilton Lodge and are ready to put on a show in the conference room. They, alongside the other remaining contestants now eagerly await their fate with the voting BuzzJack public. How it works: AI RitaBot 3000 was denied check-in to the Hamilton Lodge however she's perched at the open window of the conference room and she's on hand to tell us how voting will work at Judges' Houses. The artists have all re-joined their respective categories. Once you've listened to all of the contestants perform you should post - in this thread - a ranking of each of the performances. You can rank them from best to worst (making clear which is your favourite down to least favourite), or use the template below: 01 (favourite) 02 03 04 05 06 (least favourite) For those voting who have entered one of the contestants into the competition, you must rank all of the performances. You can either rank them inclusive of your own entry, if you have still not yet revealed your identity, or not. As with Boot Camp, there will be a penalty for non-voting at Judges' Houses. Failure to vote by a competing contestant will result in a 12 point deduction from your final score. As always, if you aren't participating as a contestant in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to cast your vote too! When voting closes, the 6 contestants with the highest scores will proceed while ONE contestant will be eliminated from the competition with a one-way ticket home in a space capsule with doors that definitely do not open from the inside and will not be going through. But fear not, it might not be over for you indefinitely if dealing with the serenity of a secret escape to the Hamilton Lodge gets the better of you. There's still a chance for one eliminated artist to return later in the competition with the power of The Golden Wagner! Voting will close on Tuesday 10 June 2025, 18:59 BST And now onto the main event... let's give a warm welcome to the contestants and see what trick they have up their sleeve for Judges' Houses! 01 02 03 04 05 06 Standard list of entries: Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing The Saturdays - Work (Phil Tan Radio Mix) WALK THE MOON - Tightrope A-ha - Hunting High and Low CHVRCHES - Final Girl Fifth Harmony - The Life

Named after Wilhelm von Humboldt, a German linguist and scholar, this massive impact crater - spanning 207 kilometres (128 miles) in diameter - awaits your exploration in a futuristic lunar tour. Buckle up in your pressurised rover or suit up for a moonwalk; this rugged, otherworldly destination promises adventure and wonder. The reason for our visit to the moon, you ask? Recent events have had the world asking why celebrities can only spend 11 minutes in space, so Lady BuzzJack thought: "sack that, we're going to have the men perform in space, and on the moon no less". Having now lost two contestants - Lemon Demon at the auditions and more recently Tom Aspaul at Boot Camp, there are six men left in the competition and they've landed safely on the moon ready to perform again. The men will be spending more than 11 minutes in space, and alongside the other remaining contestants they now await their fate with the voting BuzzJack public. How it works: AI RitaBot 3000 is here on the moon with us (sniggering at Katy Perry suspiciously non-robotically) with the contestants and she's on hand to tell us how voting will work at Judges' Houses. The artists have all re-joined their respective categories. Once you've listened to all of the contestants perform you should post - in this thread - a ranking of each of the performances. You can rank them from best to worst (making clear which is your favourite down to least favourite), or use the template below: 01 (favourite) 02 03 04 05 06 (least favourite) For those voting who have entered one of the contestants into the competition, you must rank all of the performances. You can either rank them inclusive of your own entry, if you have still not yet revealed your identity, or not. As with Boot Camp, there will be a penalty for non-voting at Judges' Houses. Failure to vote by a competing contestant will result in a 12 point deduction from your final score. As always, if you aren't participating as a contestant in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to cast your vote too! When voting closes, the 6 contestants with the highest scores will proceed while ONE contestant will be eliminated from the competition with a one-way ticket home in a space capsule with doors that definitely do not open from the inside and will not be going through. But fear not, it might not be over for you indefinitely if a trip to the moon and back gets the better of you. There's still a chance for one eliminated artist to return later in the competition with the power of The Golden Wagner!

As you land in Gag City - the capital of a pink-drenched utopia - a neon glow bathes everything in shades of fuchsia, bubblegum and magenta. You are greeted upon arrival via the Barb Alert System by the undisputed Queen and Mayor, Nicki Minaj. Her voice booms across the sky: "Prepare for landing, Barbz! Clear waters, pink dolphins and free mansions await!" However, as we are mere visitors on this island, we have had to take careful measures to avoid instant wristband issuance. While the perks of glammed up hair, make-up, outfits and fly, pink couture may be tempting, our contestants are here for one reason only: to perform for the judging BuzzJack public and make it out of Gag City still in the competition. Having still only lost Louise at the auditions, the women are standing strong in the competition with all seven landing safely in Gag City to perform again. We said goodbye to ENHYPEN and Tom Aspaul at Boot Camp, but now it's time for the remaining 19 contestants to unwind with a different backdrop and await their fate with the voting BuzzJack public.
