Help Me Decide What Doctor Who to Watch and Read Next!

I am going to take a vacation soon, and so I need to alter my Doctor Who plans accordingly, as I am planning on taking a break from TV Who during that time. I watch Doctor Who in a somewhat idiosyncratic order. I used to just watch whatever serial I could get my hands on, but recently I have opted to go in order, skipping serials that I have previously seen.

Which Doctor should I watch this week? Keep in mind that I will have to take a break from this Doctor in a few days. Unless I should consider watching the Sarah Jane Adventures this week instead. I watched some of them a while ago, but I am thinking of restarting and going into the back half. For reference, I usually finish 1-3 episodes of a serial per day.

  • Second Doctor (Starting From Evil of the Daleks)
  • Fourth Doctor/Fifth Doctor (Starting from the result of Poll #2)
  • Watch the Sarah Jane Adventures (Starting from Mad Woman in the Attic)

When I watch the Fourth Doctor, should I watch Keeper of Traken again since it leads into Logopolis or not? I have just finished Warrior’s Gate. I watched Keeper of Traken on its own about a year ago.

  • Yes, rewatch Keeper of Traken
  • No, you can just watch Logopolis

Which novel should I check out of the library to read on the vacation? You don’t have to have read any or all of the books in order to make a decision. I’m just bad with choices.

  • Harvest of Time by Alistair Reynolds (Third Doctor)
  • The Drosten’s Curse by A.L. Kennedy (Fourth Doctor)
  • Silhouette by Justin Richards (Twelfth Doctor)

The Novel representative managed to establish a narrow majority with 55% of the total vote going to Silhouette.
Thank you for voting. Your voice may not matter in actual government, but there is a chance that it mattered here.

Not heard any of them but I reckon The Paternoster Gang’s Victorianness would be the most apt for this time of year.
