A bit yeah 
But it’s just filled with great moments all the way through:
- Dan driving a space train
- Dan finally gets to go on a date with Diane
- Ace and Tegan - every single scene with those two is pure perfection
- Graham comes back as a Volcano Inspector
- Ra-Ra-Rasputin
- (Vinder is back for reasons I guess?)
- Jo Martin
- Segun Akinola’s soundtrack
- One of my favourite Doctor “sign off” lines “Tag, you’re it” (that’s how to pass the baton - 10th Doctor I’m looking at you )
- Kate Stewart
- The Second Doctor’s Recorder!
- Ian!!!
It’s because of stuff like that I consider it a comfort

I rewatched it recently and it was filed in my mental ratings as ‘okay but nothing spectacular’ - and I found myself really, really enjoying it.

I was waiting for somebody to mention ‘Boom Town’. Such a tour de force for the cast, and Annette Badland in particular.

The TV movie is definitely my current one. I keep rewatching it, to the point where I can watch it in my head if I don’t have a way to watch it on the TV. The Snowmen, the Rings of Akhaten, and The Crimson Horror used to hold that title for me as a teen. Many episodes from the first four seasons were comforting for me as a kid, notably Fear Her.
In audio, I find myself listening to Torchwood: Coffee over and over.

Also that reminds me, audio-wise, I haven’t listened to many multiple times, but the big one I have that i’ve definitely had as a comfort story is Torchwood: More Than This
That’s actually next up on my list of Torchwood audios to review. Looking forward to it now.

For me my comfort episodes are mostly in Series 5.
I don’t tend to dart around and watch episodes out of order (almost never), so I tend to watch a whole Series at once, and the Eleventh Doctor, from his introduction to The Big Bang is just so brilliant, and brings back wonderful memories of when I first watched it. Plus it’s not too heart wrenching (although “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” makes me cry for some reason).
I also love to rewatch Series 4, and I prefer the stories (love Donna), but it makes me very emotional (especially Turn Left and Journey’s End) so I wouldn’t call it a comfort!

Comfort Episodes? Hard pick, but I probably say Hand of Fear or Paradise Towers, I don’t know why, but there is just something comforting about those Stories. Carnival is a great pick tho! I probably would pick it too if I have seen it more than twice

‘Paradise Towers’ is such a gem of a story.
It’s pure camp, but that’s par for the course when it comes to Season 24; that’s the charm of those stories.
Been ages since I last watched it.

Invasion of Time. It’s just so fun. The Doctor and Borusa are great together.

This is probably a really morbid comfort story but for me its Turn Left. Its one i do a pretty much quarterly rewatch of and its just one i find really easy to watch

The Five Doctors is an old reliable for comfort. It just has so much of everything classic.

A couple of others I pop on when I just want delight to wash over me:
The Five(ish) Doctors
Peter Davison must have pulled on every single contact in British TV production that he had to make this happen. Every time I watch it I go That’s my favourite bit!, and it is always a different part of it that I say that about.
Ok it’s not every Doctor that sounds exactly like their originals, but it’s a laugh a minute.
Hmm, I might draw a great deal of comfort from multi-Doctor stories

I love multi-Doctor stories as well, I know some people don’t, but they are just so much fun and always funny.

Big Finish’s 50th Doctor Who Anniversary Spectacular.
Go listen to it if you haven’t already.
8 Doctors, and they are all given their due.
Charley, Ace, Peri, Nyssa & Leela!
It has become tradition for me to listen to it on Doctor Who Day 
Why does Paul McGann just look like he would rather be anywhere but there ?

I need to listen to this, it’s been on my list for ages, but I kinda want to get up to it at its proper point in time. It will be ages until I get to listen! 
What do you think about Multi-Master stories? There are a few Big Finish ones. I’m currently on the Eighth Doctor audios and just finished listening to Day of the Master - Part 1, it’s brilliant!
