The Return of Doctor Mysterio is finally getting the respect it deserves!!! WOOOOO!!! I’m sure everyone else agrees wholeheartedly…

Taken that way, I can see why most of these are on that list. A lot of them are important even if they’re not that good. I really don’t like Dark Water but it does have the Missy reveal and a major death so I can see why it’s important. And at least two episodes are there because they’re the only episodes for their respective years so fair enough.
There are a few oddities though. I’d have thought Utopia might be more important than Gridlock but who am I to doubt RTD? End of Time for the 2009 is an odd one too. Especially as it would technically only be Part 1 as Part 2 was broadcast in 2010. I’d have picked Waters of Mars personally.

I agree with you that “The Waters of Mars” should be on that list.

Definitely an odd selection. Crazy that some of the generally well-regarded episodes (at least to a casual audience) like Blink and The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances aren’t on there. For sure disagree on a lot of the choices.
I feel like a good chunk of these require a good amount of story context too, so they wouldn’t be the best to start with. I can’t say I’d recommend jumping in at A Good Man Goes to War or The Doctor Falls lol

This review of Remembrance is actually wounding me 
Simon Williams plays the same old upper-class twit […] the alluring Pamela Salem almost makes Rachel breathe (she’s like a blend of former Who companions Barbara and Liz). Her colleague Allison is redundant.
The way this is technically not wrong but like the meanest possible way you could view them 
I love my Allison in ways you’ll never comprehend Radio Times writer

Radio Times is (whisper it) pretty much garbage anyway, and exists solely to get as many clicks as it can.

I will not stand for 1 star Gunfighters, 5 star Love and Monsters is an incredible take

With the context of one episode a year, this list seems a lot more sane, and tbh there is a lot that I agree with, then there are the wild out of left field choices that I just can’t get behind 
, Rosa over Demons smh.

Better title of this topic would be “Radio Times panders to the showrunners” 
Some weird choices for some of the years for sure…
