How would you rate Series 1 - 14’s episodes, you don’t have to rate them all but I would pick your least favourite series and rate the episodes that way (some gems are hidden among the bad ones like Kerblam inbetween the mess that is Series 11). Here’s mine for Series 12 (I hate this series with all my heart):
As much as I don’t want to contribute to the endless anti-Chibnall/Whittaker sentiment that’s out there, Series 11 is still my least favorite of the first 13 revival series. I just find it so dull aside from a few episodes, and as much as I appreciate its attempt to be a fresh start and try to do something different, I just don’t enjoy watching it as much as any of the other 12. Dishonorable mentions to Series 2 and 7 which just beat out this one.
Demons of the Punjab
It Takes You Away
Rosa
The Tsuranga Conundrum
The Witchfinders
The Woman Who Fell to Earth
Kerblam!
Arachnids in the UK
The Ghost Monument
The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos
For fun, classic Who too. Season 22 just hurts me to see the writing quality where it was. Saward’s attempts to sabotage Colin Baker, and the essential driving of classic Who into the ground just make this season borderline intolerable. My top pick only scrapes a 6/10 from me.
Vengeance on Varos
Attack of the Cybermen
Timelash
The Mark of the Rani
Revelation of the Daleks
The Two Doctors
My least favourites are 2 and 7 (only because 7b absolutely tanks 7’s ranking), so here we go.
(Great)
School Reunion
The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
(Good)
Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
Girl in the Fireplace
(Oh dear)
New Earth
Tooth and Claw
Love and Monsters
The Idiot’s Lantern
Fear Her
(Great)
The Angels Take Manhattan
(Good)
The Power of Three
A Town called Mercy
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Asylum of the Daleks
The Crimson Horror
(Passable)
Nightmare in Silver
Hide
(Would Rather gouge out my own eyes)
Journey to the Center of the TARDIS
Cold War
The Name of the Doctor
The Bells of Saint John
The Rings of Akhaten
This is almost a perfect episode. Unfortunately, the writer did not manage to write a good ending. If the last 10 minutes would have been as good as the build-up it could have been one of the best episodes of the show. Now it is only above avrage. It almost makes me angry when I think about it.
I wounder who the writer is and if he has written anything more that is just a good build-up and no consequences…
