The best a Dalek army has been written, ever. Their brutality in this is my favourite characterisation. The Dalek Emperor being a deified figure is a stroke of genius. Of course a fascist dictator thinks he's God. The Doctor & Rose's character arcs finished fantastically.

The perfect rollercoaster. Starts out with an amazing amount of camp with all the TV show references before suddenly giving us the realisation that its all snuff. Wonderfully dark, with low points that feel bleak, filled with mystery, all ending with optimistic triumph for a cliffhanger!

A quieter episode as tense and emotionally large scale as the rest of them. Blon, and the Doctor, and Rose and Mickey all SHINE here. But it isn't plotless. There is enough here that is satisfying narratively. The comedy and tragedy is balanced perfectly. Makes me ready for the finale.

Eerie, heartbreaking and moving. A perfect recipe for any Doctor Who story. Marks above the rest. A very clever script which gives everyone a good moment. Speaking of, perfect ending for all, especially the Doctor. Perfect on its own and in his arc. Genuinely phenomenal.

Bone chilling. Jamie is adorable and scary. I love the atmosphere and characters. Jack, Nancy and Constantine feel very immediately likable and strong. I love the wartime spirit in this too. Funny in the right areas, spooky in others. Just sublime.

Beautiful. Very unique depiction of Time Travel. I love how the Doctor and Rose grow throughout, and all the side characters are wonderfully normal. Pete is the highlight. Shaun Dingwall does an amazing job with Paul Cornell's material here. It is truly heartbreaking in the best way.

200,000 really feels like today doesn't it? Fake news, a media that's complacent, a sinister force funded by the banks taking root and controlling the masses through that? This story deals with these themes well, even Adam's stuff! Only issue is that they didn't get more political.

Easily one of the best Doctor Who things ever. Expert dialogue and humour, with character drama that very few episodes even try to rival. I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. Very different and does everything for me.

Continuing with the politics, having a bunch of authority figures being evil, faking weapons of mass destruction and the Doctor concludes to blow up Downing Street? I do love the camp, but the character work shines again. Fine plotting to boot. Again, underrated.

Politically angry Doctor Who? Sign me up! The conspiracy so far has a genuinely clever plan to cause global panic, orchestrated by a useless government that is secretly compromised. The imagery and character beats at the start make this even richer. Underrated for sure.

I can't really put my finger on any faults with this one either. The 3rd act twist wasn't necessary and that's it. This one serves more character and a really gothic atmosphere, which I love. Charles Dickens is a wonderfully realised character here, resonated with him a lot.

Pure camp fun yet still serious, with a whole host of topical political messaging throughout. Its world building is done in a very overwhelming way but it knows it. The big strength is the Doctor and Rose's developing relationship, adding beautiful depth to both of them.
