Favourite Series 3 Episode

Television Doctor Who (2005-2022)

What’s everyone’s favorite Series 3 episode or episodes? I’m breaking the New Series down by episode rather than by story because sometimes one part of a two-parter is much better than the other and with three-parters it’s usually a bit more ambiguous as to whether one counts as two stories, one story or something else. Remember, you can vote for more than one.

  • The Runaway Bride
  • Smith and Jones
  • The Shakespeare Code
  • Gridlock
  • Daleks in Manhattan
  • Evolution of the Daleks
  • The Lazarus Experiment
  • 42
  • The Infinite Quest (Animated)
  • Human Nature
  • The Family of Blood
  • Blink
  • Utopia
  • The Sound of Drums
  • Last of the Time Lords

Wow. 42 is the only one nobody chose and I’m little surprised that there’s a gap between Human Nature and Family of Blood.

Honestly if I had to chose, I’d go easily with Gridlock, it’s just great. I love the use of the face of boe in it. I think ten and martha are very good as a duo in this. And overall, it has so many great scenes. Strong honorable Mention to Utopia and of course Blink (I do think this story is a bit overrated, I still enjoy it massively of course)

The fact Human Nature and The Family of Blood aren’t at the top hurts my soul.

I love Gridlock! I remember finishing that story with a huge smile on my face. Something about it gave me Paradise Towers vibes and I love the fact it had the Macra just there to get a reaction out of fans.

I think Blink, Gridlock and Smith and Jones would be my favourites. Some of the others are pretty good too though

If I had to pick ~ Gridlock.

Perhaps my least favorite televised Historical ever?
Honestly, I hate to be such a negative force, but I really just dislike this Story, since it has so many of the bad Traits of the Era/weaknesses of said Series. There are some nice Moments, I guess, but I really can’t get behind this one.

Some of the racial comments directed towards Martha are uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah not great, while it probably does suit the setting, that doesn’t really help me not get weirded out. This episode was also the beginning of the spectre of Rose haunting the series. Disappointing episode, but it doesn’t bring down the series as a whole, no series is perfect after all.

Brilliant Episode. What’s not to love here? Easily a Highlight of its Series

Top 3 Tennant for me. One of my favourites, and I think it’s one of RTD’s best.

I split my vote between Gridlock and Blink - Series 3 isn’t a particular favourite of mine (in fact, I would probably put it last for RTD1), but both of these stories are a 4.5 or 5 for me. The scene at the end of Gridlock where the Doctor talks about Gallifrey is my favourite Tenth Doctor scene, and probably one of the most memorable in the entire show for me. I’m glad to see others really like this episode too :slightly_smiling_face:

Utopia is another really strong one, but the subsequent two parts sour it for me a little. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Human Nature/The Family of Blood, so I can’t really comment on those. Everything else falls into average territory for me (with the exception of The Lazarus Experiment and Last of the Time Lords, which I dislike)
