20 Years of Doctor Who (2005-2025)

I have an idea for the celebration now. I shall complete one story from each main Doctor in the revival (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) today, and it should be stories from all different mediums - TV, audio, comic, short story, game maybe.

This is where I will turn to you - which stories should I complete for each Doctor? I already decided on the comic A Confusion of Angels for 12, because I’m currently reading through those comics. I’m also thinking maybe one of the BBC Audios for Ten (I’ve had them waiting for a long time) or Technophobia.

That leaves:

9th →
11th →
13th →
14th →
15th →

Please help me with your suggestions!

That is a great list. I wish I had the time today to watch those!

Thanks!

Partially great stories, and then Power of the Doctor is kinda a general celebration of Doctor Who in itself, and has the Master dancing.

I was gonna send my own list of suggestions but tbh my only change would be Dalek over Father’s Day (though Father’s Day is also a grand suggestion)

I could see that one, too, or if I was doing two parters, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. 9 may only be one season, but isn’t lacking in good episodes!

Genuinely my favourite of the revival for that reason! Even the weakest episodes are still decent, and most of the episodes are bangers!

If it were me, my picks for 9 and 11 would mostly deliberately veer into the expanded media because the expanded media stuff is just that little bit less familiar by default to me than the TV series. For 13, 14 and 15 I’d stick TV because I haven’t dipped my toe in as much of the expanded media.

9th → Auld Lang Syne
11th → Broken Hearts
13th → Power of the Doctor
14th → Wild Blue Yonder
15th → I think my favourite so far is 73 Yards the more I think about it but he’s barely in it so I’d go Rogue.

15th → Rogue

Oooh, I like this list. I was actually thinking about Broken Hearts (or any 11/Valarie story really, because I want to relisten to all of it now that it’s done and dusted).

Probably going for Auld Lang Syne for 9, I remember it being good. And Power for 13 is a good choice!

Still thinking about what to do for 14 and 15. 14 probably has to eb one of the specials, WBY is my favourite. For 15, I could go for Space Babies and then just keep going with the season so that I have it rewatched before S2…

Thanks for all your suggestions! Keep them coming! I love how you have different takes to this!

“He’s barely in it” was definitely a factor for me with 15.

240 pages in an hour?

That’s a lot faster than I can read, in any language! How impressive!
