But that’s exactly what Doctor Who Magazine inflicted on fans earlier this year, sugaring the pill ever so slightly by combining all the multiple-episode stories into one, which helpfully narrowed the choice from over 800 episodes to 300 “TV adventures”.
Who fans were tasked with rating all episodes out of ten – narrowing it down to 37 stories – and then asked to pick their top five from this list. After much number crunching, the top 10 TV adventures were revealed"
1. Heaven Sent (2015) – Peter Capaldi
2. World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls (2017) – Peter Capaldi
3. Genesis of the Daleks (1975) – Tom Baker
4. The Caves of Androzani (1984) – Peter Davison
5. The Day of the Doctor (2013) – Matt Smith / David Tennant / John Hurt
6. Blink (2007) – David Tennant
7. Human Nature / Family of Blood (2007) – David Tenannt
8. City of Death (1979) – Tom Baker
9. Remembrance of the Daleks (1988) – Sylvester McCoy
10. Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead (2008) – David Tennant |
It's a good set of stories, but these surveys are always problematic as they are overly influenced by the demographics of the voters. Hence the skew towards Nu-Who. Still, two Capaldi stories at the top, was to say the least, unexpected!
Personally, I'd have had
The Talons of Weng Chiang in there...and
100000 BC, simply because where would we be without it?
