I agree. It's exceptionally well done both in the script and the production. My problem with 'Utopia' is that it's followed by the unwatchable trash that is 'The Last of the Time Lords'. What a let down!

Caves of androzani part 4 or an unearthly child part 1.

I'm going to approach this rather differently. I'm going to find my favourite story (because it is usually a two-parter) of each Series of NuWho (including specials), and rank them. This won't necessarily show my favourite episodes of NuWho in order, but it will do in my mind.
Series 1: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Series 2: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
Series 3: Human Nature/Family of Blood
Series 4: The Waters of Mars
Series 5: The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang
Series 6: A Good Man Goes to War
Series 7: Day of the Doctor
Series 8 (so far): Mummy on the Orient Express

1) Human Nature/Family of Blood (100/100)
2) Day of the Doctor (97/100)
3) The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang (96/100)
4) A Good Man Goes to War (94/100)
5) The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances (91/100)
6) The Waters of Mars (90/100)
7) Mummy on the Orient Express (89/100)
8) The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit (87/100)

Having earlier mentioned Utopia & Blink, The Family of Blood two-parter is another favourite of mine.

My favourite Classic Who story:-

City Of Death


My favourite New Who story:-

Blink.


Stories I consider to be very overrated:-

Genesis Of The Daleks
The Caves Of Androzani


Guilty pleasures:-

Black Orchid
Delta and the Bannermen
The Unicorn and the Wasp

Classic Who

1) Pyramids of Mars
2) Talons of Weng Chiang
3) Spearhead from Space
4) City of Death
5) Genesis of the Daleks


Nu-Who

1) Blink
2) Human Nature/Family of Blood
3) School Reunion
4) Waters of Mars
5) Girl in the Fireplace

I tend to like the NuuOO episodes that are two-parters, more sci-fi in nature, and perhaps closer to the original run in character e.g. The fantastic 'Impossible Planet/Satan Pit', 'Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead', 'Time of Angel/Flesh and Stone', 'The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang', 'Waters of Mars', 'Midnight', etc.

Another nod to The Parting of the Ways.

Being my first series of Doctor Who and simply watching at the time (as opposed to actively seeking news etc) - imagine my awe as I was hit by a regeneration after the fine piece of drama which preceeded it.

1. Midnight
2. Blink
3. Waters of Mars
4. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
5. The Girl Who Waited

The passive aggressiveness in this one is strong.

I dunno. The agreesiveness wasn't passive at all. You knew exactly what he was getting at!

Person posts opinion on internet. Is aggressive. Well done everybody!

There's a difference between posting your opinion and making patronising little digs at posters who hadn't even posted in the thread at that point.

But if that's what you enjoy, carry on.

But I'm not actually aiming it at any poster in particular. Its not personal or nasty. Frankly I don't care what other people like or don't like. I enjoy it when I'm on the same page as others on an episode but it wont affect my enjoyment.

There is however one thing that does wind me up. Its inconsistency. I've seen In the Forest of the Night getting a monstering from some fans for being silly and whimsical and childish. And yet I know these same people loved Partners in Crime! Its ludicrous. Its like those members of the Moffat Can't Win brigade who get busy whinging on Twitter about Clara and Danny having a romance and how it gets in the way and then pop onto Tumblr to create images of Ten and Rose and dash off some fan fiction about what would have happened if they got married. Its crazy!

This but bigger and shoutier.

Enlightenment Episodes 1 to 4. Obviously.

Get back to you on C21 Who. Tricky.

Classic who: the Ark in Space, Pyramids of Mars, Seeds of Doom, Robots of Death, Talons of Weng Chiang, Horror of Fang Rock.
New who: Impossible Planet/Satan Pit, Midnight, Waters of Mars.

The Brain of Morbius is my favourite Classic Who episode, and my favourite New Who is either Closing Time or Flatline.

So now you're going off on a tangent about some "Moffat Can't Win" brigade.

Just because someone may have liked Rose and Ten doesn't mean it's strange they wouldn't enjoy Clara and Danny. Different characters with different stories.

Similarly, just because they liked one light hearted/silly episode doesn't mean they'll like another.

I won't do old who cause there's too many to select but for New Who:
1.Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords
2.Human Nature/Family of Blood
3.Vincent and the Doctor
4.Blink
5.The Stolen Earth/Journeys End
6.Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
7.The Crimson Hand
8.The Waters of Mars
9.Turn Left
10.Time Heist
11.Girl in the Fireplace
12.The Christmas Invasion
13.Rose
14.Listen
15.The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

(No particular order)

Midnight.

Classic:
Horror of Fang Rock
Genesis of the Daleks (Ian Marter was just great as Harry. So old public school and great with Liz and Tom. Shame he left so soon.)
Caves of Androzani
Curse of Fenric

New:
Dalek
The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
School Reunion
Family of Blood 2-parter

I do wish you wouldn't do this, salad. It gets very tiresome. I have great affection for Donna, still my favourite companion (after Lucie B Miller) I thought the comedy in series 4 was very good, and though the blobs of fat weren't the best idea ever, I thought that episode was fine.

It doesn't mean I don't like Listen. It's up there with my favourite episodes. People are not split on a RTD/Moffat basis, and if you think they are you are just wrong. Equally there is not a "series 1-4 good, series 5-8 bad" ethos on the forum. There are good and bad episodes in every series, and what people think is good or bad is different for everyone.

It's fine that you like Moffat. I like him sometimes. You don't have to denigrate RTD fans, though, in order to defend him - especially when no one has attacked him.


On Topic.

Favourite New Who - Human Nature/Family of Blood by a couple of country miles.

Favourite Old Who - An Unearthly Child. It's when I fell for Doctor Who, so it's always special to me.

LISTEN

Human Nature/The Family of Blood and Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang are close second.

After a long think, it's probably The Doctor's Wife for C21 Who. Closely followed by Pandorica/Big Bang.

So far. Today. I'm a flipperdejibit. (no idea if that's how you spell it!)
