Ten Days to a Tenth Anniversary, 1: Radio Times Top 10 New Series Stories

[jjpor]

It comes to my attention (and yours too, I imagine) that on Thursday 26 March this year we will be marking the tenth anniversary of the post-2005 incarnation of Doctor Who. That's right - tenth anniversary. Assuming you are as shocked as I am by that number and are wondering where the last decade went, I will leave you for a moment to come to terms

It's a toss up whether "Time Flight" or "End of Time" is the worst episode for me. "Time Flight" at least has some of the Master's camp, even though it made Edward Said roll in his grave.

I think I would've put Dalek or "Doctor's Wife" up before the Vincent one.

I don't disagree - for me, Journey's End and The End of Time are the twin absolute low-points of modern Who. And I can't believe the Doctor's Wife doesn't get more love, but at the end of the day all of these things just come down to personal taste and opinion, I guess.

Very true. I'm kind of glad there was some retconning of End of Time in Engines of War, among other media. It'll be interesting what happens when/if Big Finish gets access...

That's very interesting - I haven't read Engines of War yet or read anything about it, but I know I'll have to remedy that sometime soon, because the Time War and exactly what is supposed to have happened in it never ceases to fascinate me.

I really liked it. It's very dark, so that might not appeal to some. Hurt's character isn't your normal Doctor, although there are shades of Seven in it.
