Thanks to everyone who voted in Round Thirty Three.

We almost had a three way tie this time around with the episode in first place just one vote ahead of the two in joint second place. I don't usually give that much information at this stage of the game but I've mentioned it here to show just how close things are at the moment.

In this final every vote really does count and those of you that have voted out Turn Left may well hold the balance of power.

Yup. Turn Left polled votes from 36.36% of you leaving Midnight and The Family Of Blood to fight it out for the Top Spot

Please remember that you're voting for the episode to want to WIN and that votes should be submitted via PM.

aww, Turn Left....sad to see it go, but pleased to see it improve.

There's a clear winner for me at this point now, so that makes things nice and easy!

Gutted that Turn Left has gone. I was quite hoping it would take the winners spot this year.

My rank:

+ The Time Of Angels
+ The Girl In The Fireplace
+ The Sontaran Strategem
+ Aliens Of London
+ Daleks In Manhattan

Looking forward to seeing who takes the top spot this times round and if the episode that takes the #1 spot changes.

My rankings:

+ The Time Of Angels
+ The Sontaran Strategem
+ The Girl In The Fireplace
+ Daleks In Manhattan
+ Aliens Of London

Only one outstanding episode, two average episodes, then two poor episodes this time around.

Easy for me too. Shame Turn Left went for me series 4 was between the two of them.

1st The Girl In The Fireplace
2nd The Sontaran Strategem
3rd Aliens Of London
4th The Time Of Angels
5th Daleks In Manhattan

Woohooo I won

But I'm not celebrating because Turn Left is gone, which is not just a fantastic Doctor Who episode, it's a fantastic piece of television. Glad that it's risen since last time, but it should have won.

I'm not going to vote in this round because I have no real preference for either episode left. Interested to see the winner though.

The Girl in the Fireplace
The Time of Angels

All the other three were awful, but:

The Sontaran Stratagem
Aliens of London
Daleks in Manhattan

Just realized i did too...who would have thought it after I lost one of my predicted episodes quite early on!

Sorry to see Turn Left go....but well done to it for moving up so high in the countdown!!!!


For me right this minute this is my list...


Time of the Angels
The Sontaran Stratagem
The Girl in the Fireplace
Aliens of London
Daleks in Manhattan.

Time of the Angels
The Girl in the Fireplace
The Sontaran Stratagem
Daleks in Manhattan
Aliens of London

this was way down on page 2 already!

Thanks for bumping Muttley.

My choices:

The Girl in The Fireplace
The Time of Angels
Daleks In Manhattan
The Sontaran Strategem
Aliens Of London

Time of the Angels
The Girl in the Fireplace
The Sontaran Stratagem
Daleks in Manhattan
Aliens of London

Turn Left deserved its Top 3 position.

1. The Girl In The Fireplace
2. Time Of Angels
3. Sontaran Stratagem
4. Daleks In Manhatten
5. Aliens Of London

The top two are super episodes, Sontaran Strategem is decent but the other two are very average.

I absolutly love the two episodes left, so not 100% sure which one to vote for!

My list may be a little strange, as i seem to have very wierd tastes compared to others! But i really disliked Time Of Angels, but not sure if it's worse than Darleks In Manhatten or not!

1. Sontaran Stratagem
2. The Girl In The Fireplace
3. Aliens Of London
5. Time Of Angels
5. Daleks In Manhatten

Although that list may change once i've re-watched TOA, as everyone keeps saying how good it is, so i may have just been tired at the time and not into it

Mine will be viewed as a little strange too and I have hesitated about posting as I am obviously alone. I think it may be my love of comedy Who and Chris Eccelston.

Aliens of London
Time of Angels
Sontaran Strategem
Daleks of Manhatten
Girl in the Fireplace

Same here

I think it'll be quite a coup if Midnight wins, as it tends to be the more divisive episode - plenty of people wouldn't put it in the top 10 I expect. But Family of Blood tends to appeal to everyone. Or will I be wrong!?

I love Turn Left. Donna rocks, and I thought it was nice to see her with Rose and not with the Doctor.

1 - The Time Of Angels
2 - The Girl In The Fireplace
3 - The Sontaran Strategem
4 - Aliens Of London
5 - Daleks In Manhattan

Bump!

well you know, I am not sure it's as divisive as all that or it would have been eliminated long ago.

I'm chuffed to see Midnight in the final. It's come along way in two years in terms of being embraced by fandom.....there was a lot of hostility towards it when it aired!

The votes so far has yielded the following scores:-

01) The Time Of Angels - 46 points
02) The Girl In The Fireplace - 42 points
03) The Sontaran Stratagem - 36 points
04) Aliens Of London - 22 points
05) Daleks In Manhattan - 18 points


In terms of the final vote one episode has a clear lead over the other at the moment, although whether that will change by the time of the deadline remains to be seen......

not that surprised by the order of episodes, except that I maybe would have pegged AoL to be last.

I thought the voting would be rather close!

Not much small gaps in the fourth episodes....


I wonder what will will win in the two remaining....I know which one I'd love to, but they are both excellent....so I won't be completely disappointed.


Thanks RK....definitely look forward to the next game!!!
