Here we are folks, another Wednesday. Crazy to think we’ve done 29 of these so far. Looking back at last week the library two parter absolutely dominated with 82% power of the Doctor earned 13 a respectable 2nd place finish at the end with 32% and Extremis with 28%
As always all previous polls are open and so are the discussions.
We said goodbye to two doctors both 1 and 13 last week
Moving forward as we are below 5 options you only can vote for 1
Anyway let’s get into these
30th story
- Destiny of the Daleks
- Midnight
- The Bells of Saint John
- The Pyramid at the End of the World

Oof I mean this really isn’t a contest in my mind lol
Destiny I like the Romana scene in the beginning because it is funny to me but was never a fan of this story overall
Midnight is a classic midnight is a classic
Bells of St. John has good moments but the plot /enemy isn’t really the point moreso getting Clara (prime(?)) and 11 together (again)
Pyramid is good but
None of these have anything on midnight. None of these have anything on midnight

Is destiny of the daleks “good”? probably not. but you asked for favourite and I’ve very much got a soft spot for it

I like Pyramid, I love the monk trilogy as a whole, but being put up against Midnight it’s got no shot.

With the competition, it was never going to be anything else. I enjoy ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’, but ‘Midnight’ is in another league. Superlative Doctor Who horror with a fantastic mystery that, to this day, remains one of the most compelling unanswered aspects of NuWho. Wait, what do you mean ‘The Well’ exists?

I mean… is there any choice other than Midnight?

Destiny of the Daleks is one of my least favourite Dalek stories.
The Bells of Saint John is pretty good but nothing exceptional.
The Pyramid at the stupidly long title is fine.
Midnight is fantastic. So yeah, I can’t pick anything but Midnight.

Bells is pretty good, but hardly a Midnight. The other two are tripe.

30 averages in the lower middle of my rankings, at around 179. Really only one episode here I’d consider particularly great though.
Destiny < Pyramid < Bells < Midnight

I think my enjoyment has waned a little from the sheer number of times I’ve seen Midnight, but it’s undeniably one of the best 10th Doctor stories out there, easily

I don’t think any of the others are bad, and all of them could get a vote in another match up…but Midnight is Midnight.

Easy choice but also pyramid is like my least fav Nuwho ep ever
Bells is fun, and I’ve officially fallen behind on four again (this is the one I’m stuck on atm)

One vote is unfortunate, because even looking at these four titles we pretty much know what we’re doing here haha. Midnight is one of the very best and the absolute creepiest hour RTD ever wrote, it’s one of the coolest episodes of DW ever made. It’s a shame because The Bells Of St John is so much fun and the Monks trilogy is very underrated, I’d wrestle between those for a second vote.

Romana’s outfit alone means you do not need to justify this vote
