SERIES 1
BEST: Dalek (The only time a Dalek has ever seemed menacing on NuWho.) WORST: (Tie) Aliens of London / World War Three / Boomtown (Slitheen = Fail. Always.) SERIES 2 BEST: School Reunion ((S)Laden with so much tension & love & gravitas.) WORST: The Idiots Lantern (Spoilt for choice in S2. Who is least scary? Peter Kay? A little girl? Or Maureen Lipman. Ugh.) SERIES 3 BEST: Human Nature / Family of Blood (Freema's Finest Hour. RTD ought to be ashamed of himself for Rose'ing Martha to death) WORST: The Lazarus Experiment (Mark Gattis can't act. Can't write. Oh, and Francine Jones? Jackie Tyler, you are not.) SERIES 4 BEST: Turn Left (An epic, sweeping love letter to the Nobels. Catherine Tate has never shone as brightly.) WORST: The Sontarem Stratagem / Poison Sky (A mess from start to finish. Just appalling.) SPECIALS BEST: Waters Of Mars (The Doctor flips out. The heroine blows her brains out. Surely the Darkest Story since Who returned.) WORST: Planet of The Dead (Flies. Unimaginable Heat. Public Transport. An annoying woman. Essentially, it was the story of every rush hour on the Tube.) SERIES 5 BEST: Vincent & The Doctor (Beautifully poignient.) WORST: Victory of The Daleks (Everything about the mess offended me. Mark Gattis needs shooting.) SERIES 6 BEST: The Girl Who Waited (Heartbreaking & beautifully realised. An Amy & Rory Tour de Force.) WORST: (Tie) Night Terrors / The Wedding of River Song (Children aren't scary. / The Moffatiest of Moffat Messes by far. Incomprehensible crap strung together on ludicrous set-pieces.) SERIES 7 BEST: The Power of Three (A treat. A lovely insight into the Ponds life - which the Doctor gorgeously can't cope with.) WORST: The Rings of Akhaten (Took all the ingredients of a good Who episode - then overcooked them, into a toxic unforgivable, cheesey, appallingly scripted car crash. Not even Matt Smith could salvage it.) XMAS SPECIALS BEST: Runaway Bride (Donna. The start of someone very special. "Come on!" - "I am IN my Wedding Dress!!!" - "Yes! You look lovely! Come on!!!") WORST: The Doctor, The Widow & The Wardrobe (A Moffat Mess.) |

I use the term "worst" loosely since I generally fine it hard to really dislike things, so I'll just be using stories that I didn't like as much as the others, which is difficult to really choose in most seasons/series.
So here's my Best/Worst list for the show (both Classic and New) (First story listed will be the best, while the second will be the "worst") Classic Who Season 1: The Aztecs/The Reign of Terror Season 2: The Dalek Invasion of Earth/The Giant Planet Season 3: The Celestial Toymaker/Mission to the Unknown Season 4: The Evil of the Daleks/The Faceless Ones Season 5: Tomb of the Cybermen/Fury from the Deep Season 6: The War Games/The Space Pirates Season 7: Inferno/The Ambassadors of Death Season 8: Claws of Axos/Colony in Space Season 9: The Curse of Peladon/The Mutants Season 10: The Three Doctors/Planet of the Daleks Season 11: Planet of the Spiders/Death to the Daleks Season 12: Genesis of the Daleks/The Sontaran Experiment Season 13: The Brain of Morbius/The Seeds of Doom Season 14: The Talons of Weng-Chiang/The Masque of Mandragora Season 15: The Sunmakers/Invasion of Time Season 16: The Pirate Planet/The Power of Kroll Season 17: City of Death/Nightmare of Eden Season 18: The Keeper of Trakken/The Leisure Hive Season 19: Earthshock/The Black Orchid Season 20: Enlightenment/The King's Demon Season 21: The Caves of Androzani/The Awakening Season 22: Vengeance of Varos/Timelash Season 23: Mindwarp/The Ultimate Enemy Season 24: Delta and the Bannermen/Time and the Rani Season 25: The Happiness Patrol/Silver Nemesis Season 26: Battlefield/Ghostlight Eight Doctor Adventures (Since Eight only had the movie, I'll be using his own series from Big Finish) Season 1: No More Lies/Phobos Season 2: Max Warp/Dead London Season 3: The Cannibalist/Wirrn Dawn Season 4: Lucie Miller-To The Death/The Book of Kells New Who Series 1: Dalek/The Long Game Series 2: The Girl in the Fireplace/New Earth Series 3: Human Nature-The Family of Blood/The Lazuras Experiment Series 4/Specials: Silence in the Library-Forest of the Dead/The Stolen Earth-Jounrey's End Series 5: The Pandorica Opens-The Big Bang/The Beast Below Series 6: The Doctor's Wife/The Curse of the Black Spot Series 7: The Name of the Doctor/The Power of Three |

Fear Her is by far, one of the worst DW stories since the show came back in 2005. I have my parents to vouch for that!
Also, The Lazarus Experiment wasn't very good. Neither was Bad Wolf. The Parting of the Ways was much better. Jo Joyner is much better playing Tanya Cross in EE. Her hair in DW! I wonder who thought of doing her hair like that? The best episodes have to be Blink, 42, Daleks in Manhatten/Eveloution of the Daleks, Army of Ghosts/Doomsday, Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, the one with the cube invasion, A good Man Goes to War, World War Three, and Boom Town. I did enjoy Planet of the Ood. Also, the Agatha Christie one was not bad, either. Lastly, I thought the Stolen Earth was great as was The End of Time Part 2. "I'm still not ginger!" A funny line from Matt's Dr. |
