Capaldi's second season was brilliant. When the worst episode of the series is "Sleep No More," which is at least experimental and different, and everything else is 8/10 or better with multiple all-timers, that's one stonkingly good season of TV. I'm way more fond of The Woman Who Lived than the average DW fan. I see its flaws plain as day, but not a single one of them bothers me, and I fucking love it.
I started watching Doctor Who in November 1963. I love Classic Who. The only series of the show that I didn't care for much was the Sixth Doctor's era, but that was probably due to the way those episodes were written. My favorite series of all time was Series 11. I adore Matt Smith's Doctor, the old soul in a young body. I love Series 13.
Bruh what??? Sixth Doctor may not be the best Doctor but his era is SO GOOOOD. He has one of the best Cyberman and Dalek stories + Vengeance on Varos and hey Trial of a Timelord may not be perfect but it's super unique in the show's lore. Can't stand Sixy slander.
For me, Matt will always be my favourite Doctor, but Capaldi was the best actor to ever portray him in my opinion, and that means even though his series were very up and down, they're all excellent if for no other reason than his acting 🙌
@triplejazzmusicisall1883 same for me. Capaldi's doctor had so many layers to him, watching him evolve from sort of heartless to arguably the most caring doctor of all was just beautiful writing! For me, Tennant was excellent. The thing that drags his series down for me is the constant love stories. He's thousands of years old and an alien, Rose was like 19, it was so bizarre, but I guess they had to pander to the shippers back then
Series 9 also has the Zygon Inversion which I think makes it deserve a higher tier. Capaldi really came into his own in that series. I consider it the last great series before the 60th.
1. Series 10 2. Series 1 3. Series 4 4. Series 8 5. Series 5 6. Series 3 7. Series 2 8. Series 6 9. Series 9 10. Series 11 11. Series 7 12. Series 13 (Flux) 13. Series 12
Flux was definitely 13s best series but they screwed up bringing in Tecteun and then killing her off without answering any questions,they bring in the person who found the timeless child and then kill her off. Killing off swarm and azure was a bit of a waste as well, they would’ve been such good villains to return since they also knew about the doctors past which she doesn’t remember. And then there’s no explanation of all the planets the flux destroyed, the doctor just does nothing lol. All in all I’m convinced Chibnall just didn’t want to explain anything he set in motion.
They want to keep the Doctor's past a mystery. It will most likely come into play in the future but I liked the death of Tecteun. It made it more tragic for 13 as she didn't get any of the answers she wanted.
I know it was made during the Pandemic, but they totally should have done a 13a/13b. If the released the first 4 episodes, took a break, and really fleshed out the ending, I feel like it could have been an all time great season.

Hard to take seriously anyone who ranks Jodie/Chibnal anywhere near series 1-10. The gulf between those eras in everything,; writing quality, production values, editing, performances, characterisations, it's all such a sharp and obvious decline. All the worse with hindsight and being able to see now each showrunners time in full.
That's why I thought things would change when Russel came back, but the dude is too high on the fumes from sniffing his on farts to care about the integrity of the show.
For me my favourite series is series 5 I started watching in series 4 but when Matt smith became the doctor that’s when I started watching it religiously for me I don’t think there is not one bad episode for me and the dynamic between 11 and Amy is great and the crack storyline is amazing #crispyforshowrunner Also love the podcast I never miss an episode
My ranking tends to go 4, 1, 3, 2, 9, 10, 5, 8, 11, 7, 6, 12, 13, *however...* There are some really stand out episodes across all seasons. Heaven Sent in Series 9 is a contender for best episode in the whole show, and I loved Sasha Dawan as The Master in Series' 12 and 13. I watched Rose live when it was broadcast aged 5, so I have a lot of nostalgia for the early years of the revival. It wont surprise you that RTD, Tennant, Donna, Wilf and the GOAT Murray Gold returning is pretty much Christmas for me, and I can't wait to see what Ncuti brings to the role next year.
@@リオレオ-j1y Love Ncuti in the role - but 'Season' 1 didn't really stick the landing. It's probably fair to put it in the region of series 8, which similarly had elements I really liked - great lead actor, some great episodes, moments of great writing - but also had an uneven narrative, weak story arc and a poor finale. The good news? I really liked Series 9, so I'm hopeful for Ncuti's second season.
I wish in season 4. Ten was gonna pick up Donna with the tardis as quick as he could and wilf was there just like the ponds and Brian and then wilf gets picked up inside the tardis and ten doesn’t notice I would of loved that
For some reason, I don't remember anything of Peter Capaldi's era. I watched them when it was coming out, if you show me imagines I can recognize it but.... I don't know, its like the stories lacked something in them, something that made them truly memorable. For me, S tier are series 1 and 4 (including the specials between series 4 &5). I also enjoyed a lot Jodie's series, I need to rewatch them, but I agree with you, Flux is A!
I found myself nodding along in agreement to 90% of this video. The 10% (where I didn't nod) was because I: - have a soft spot for Series 2, and would have rated it an A. - liked Series 11 and 12, but would have swapped them around (Series 11 = D and Series 12 = C). - really struggled to get into Flux (apart from maybe the Sontaran and Weeping Angel episodes). It's definitely a D for me.
My ranking Series 4 Series 3 Series 1 Series 8 Series 10 Series 5 Series 2 Series 6 Series 9 Series 7 Series 12 Series 13 Series 11 You can probably tell I how excited I was when it was announced RTD was replacing Chibnall...
I've literally just finished rewatching modern Doctor Who, in time for November, and I rated the episodes as I went and hence ranked each series - and then came across this video! Good timing. Great video btw, and I largely agree! Here's how I would rank them: Series 5 - 9.5/10 Series 4 - 9.5/10 You are entitled to your own opinion and can personally enjoy other series more. However, if series 4 and 5 aren't ‘critically’ your top 2 in either order - you are simply mistaken. Series 1 - 9/10 Series 3 - 9/10 Series 6 - 8.5/10 Series 7 - 8.5/10 Series 2 - 8.5/10 Series 9 - 8.5/10 Series 10 - 8/10 Series 8 - 8/10 The 3 series of Chibnall's era are CLEARLY the worst ones, it’s not even close. If you enjoy them, great :). There’s some enjoyment to have. Just know that if they aren’t ‘critically’ your bottom 3, you are mistaken and it should be obvious. None of these series are terrible (overall), and there are definitely some highlights. But those highlights would be the weakest episodes in any other series of Doctor Who - or even The Sarah Jane Adventures. Overall, like children dressing up, it is an amateurish imitation of what it’s trying to copy - with poor dialogue, low production value, uninteresting characters with little depth, fan-service of the bad kind, and lots of wasted potential. Each series has great ideas but not executed well nor thought out properly. Chibnall goes out of his way to FORCE his mark on the show (not EARN it) with the whole Timeless Child nonsense. I would rank the series as follows: Series 13 - 6/10 Series 12 - 5.5/10 Series 11 - 5/10
you must be some sort of clone becuase you match me almost perfectly to how i rate them. i could never understand how someone could watch series 11, 12, and 13 and put them any higher than previous series cos even on a surface level i feel its obvious how much more care went into series 1-10. plus chibnall deffo used the timeless child so he could stand out rather than create amazing stories
S: 4, 9 A: 1, 3, 5, 8 B: 2, 6, 10, Flux C: 7, 11 D: 12 Most normie ratings except Series 9 being in S. I can't understand why people dislike it, 10 of the episodes were the best of Doctor Who, 1 acceptable and 1 awful. How is that not an S in my opinion?
I feel that Rose was a better companion with 9 than 10. I just think they tried to hard to push the romance story line and it destroyed season 2. The only episodes I really enjoyed were Doomsday, School Reunion, and The Girl In The Fire Place.
I agree which is why I prefer Martha and Donna over Rose when ranking my favourite 10 companions. It could have worked if they built it more gradually over time like Rose getting used to the new doctor struggling to fall for him like she did with 9, but the fact it was so forced and quickly happened ruined it.
@@goat_sama8239Totally agree. I was almost relieved when Rose and 10 was over, cause it felt so weird and forced compared to 9 and Rose. I mean her just accepting hes like a whole different person rn and just going on just doesnt feel natural. And 9 and Rose was just more than awesome. Rose as 9s Companion is maybe my fav one of all of them, but with 10 never
@@kyuubeychan for me 10s best companion is Donna only cause it was only companion that wasn’t written to be forcefully in love with the doctor. Martha could’ve been special especially with the way she had some the best episodes out 10s companions but her being hung up on the doctor and rose ruined what could’ve been tenants era best companion
I've always thought that Jodie's first season was her absolute best.... In fact, it's her only good series, with only a couple episodes from her second and third (mostly her second) being good.
I mostly agree? I think I'd go: S Tier: Series 4, Series 3, Series 9, and probably Series 5 A Tier: Series 1, Series 10, Series 8 B Tier: Series 2, Series 13, Series 6 C Tier: Series 7, Series 12 D Tier: Series 11 Tiers C and D are the only ones I find it more difficult to rewatch.
Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi and Christopher Eccleston Era is my favourite Modern Doctor Who Era better than David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa Era
I get that it's your opinion but also at some point once they get too extreme i don't think opinions can be objective anymore and putting Flux over season 6 is one of those times
Poor Jodie, she was great as the Doctor, if only Chibnall wasn't a hack writer. He had some fantastic ideas, but lacked the skill to develop them properly. If he hadn't written so much of the era, it could have been so good. He should have given the kernel of an idea and co-wrote with someone more skilled, and we could have had one of the greatest eras of all time. Instead, he tried to write too much himself and didn't have the skill to back it up.
I realised i never got the 13th doctor specials steelbook so i got it on ebay and watched power of the doctor and i had the best time. Probably the best episode of doctor who and the thirteenth doctor is just so funny to me. So ive since started a rewatch and im 3 eps in and absolutely loving series 11. Even the characters which before i thought were lacking like everyone says im really enjoying. Its a lot more getting the character from the performance instead of loading up on family drama, which it does enough of and then cracks on. Mandip, Toisin and Bradley are all brilliant and when im watching it without scrutinising it so hard and comparing it to all doctor who and squeezing my stupid brain then of course im going to just engage with whats actually there and whats there is great. The music, which before i thought was dull, im loving. It adds a great atmosphere and intensity and really heightens the emotional scenes. Ep 2, the one i thought was super boring is just great writing for actors. It really stays with those supports and you get to know them as people and its very very not what the other series have done but its new (or was) and great.
I find RTD writing a little overrated, the first series probably should be in A tier not S. But the rest of the ratings seemsfair. SM ratings on series are probably fair as well but I think that series 7 should probably be higher if we are including the 50th and Matt's send off, so that would be in A for me. However if we are doing that then are we counting the 4 specials that ended 10th Doctor era as a coda to series 4 or their own series? Same with the current 4 specials (would you count them as their own series)? I would count them as their own series, but the 50th and Christmas specials are usually appendages to their nearest prior series in my opinion. CC era, I didn't watch as I never liked his writing. Some scenes I have watched seem great, so will get round to watching them in the end, I cant say whether the rankings are fair or not yet.
Yes, another series 8 enjoyer! I was one of many people ready to drop the show after Matt Smith, but for the opposite reason than the majority. I never really enjoyed Amy Pond and her presence really brought down the Matt Smith era for me. Series 7B was not enough to rescue it. So I decided that if the show continued being like series 6 and 7 with Capaldi, that I was out. "Listen" and "Time Heist" were the episodes that really cemented me as a Capaldi fan, but it was the stupid joke where Strax beans Clara with a newspaper in "Deep Breath" that made me give the show another chance. It was the first time in a while that I had laughed at a joke the show made. Even though series 8 has In the Forest of the Shite (and Kill the Moon), it has many episodes that I enjoyed much more than most of series 6 and 7. I can forgive terrible episodes, because at least I can marvel at how terrible they are and skip over them. What really sours a series for me is mediocrity.
My rank: S - Series 4 and Series 10 A - Series 3, Series 5, Series 6 and Series 9 B - Series 1, Series 12 and Series 13 C - Series 2, Series 7, Series 8 and Series 11 D - None
For me it'd be pretty controversial to most, but it's: Series 4 - Tennant - 9.5/10 Series 5 - Smith - 9.5/10 Series 12 - Whittaker - 9/10 Series 6 - Smith - 9/10 Series 7 - Smith - 8.5/10 Series 1 - Ecclestone - 8/10 60th Anniversary Specials - Tennant - 7.5/10 Series 11 - Whittaker - 7.5/10 Series 10 - Capaldi - 7/10 Series 3 - Tennant - 7/10 Series 2 - Tennant - 7/10 Flux - Whittaker - 6.5/10 Series 8 - Capaldi - 6.5/10 Series 9 - Capaldi - 6/10 Whilst I've put Capaldi's seasons so low, he is my 2nd favourite Doctor I just feel personally that his era had a lot of very low lows for me, but he had several massive highs. The other Doctors I liked more consistently though. There's no Series that I don't enjoy re-watching though, and not a single episode that I skip during a rewatch.
My Personal Ranking would be: 1: Series 4 2: Series 3 3: Series 10 4: Series 9 5: Series 5 6: Series 1 7: Series 8 8: Series 2 9: Series 12 10: Series 13, Flux 11: Series 6 12: Series 7 13: Series 11
He was reviewing Series. And the 2009 specials are not considered to be a part of any series. Both Wikipedia and TheTVDB list them separately. Not even the BBC lists them as being a part of Series 4 or Series 5, but puts them in-between the two series. So for a review of actual series, the specials wouldn't have made the cut since according to even the BBC they weren't a part of ANY series of Doctor Who.
I actually think The Timeless Child story was the best part of Jodi's Era. It finally resolved some dangling plot threads that had been around since the Tom Baker and McCoy eras. There always had to be a pre-Hartnell history for the character - though my head canon was that pre-Hartnell was the Theta Sigma era and that Theta Sigma was given a new regeneration cycle that began his history as The Doctor.
@nathanielfarkas4431 Agreed. Which is why I think The Timeless Child was the best part of Jodi's run. Someone was always going to pick up those Classic Who plot threads and finally deal with them. Jodi's Doctor was the one who actually did it.
Am I the only one who thinks series 7 was the best with Matt smith 😅.. I feel we had a lot of good stories and tbh I really enjoyed the dynamic between Clara and the Doctor
Series 9,8 and 10 (in that order) are what made me a full on Whovian, even though I was fanboyish before then. And they have one clear, common denominator. Boy do I Miss those days! Yagetme? 😉☂️
@@dmmoctober yeh I get you absolutely for me Matt smith, Chris Ecelston and David Tennant made me a whovian Matt was my doctor though. So when he changed into Peter I found it hard then Peter just grew on me
@@LibertyBridgeProductions I getcha - but my main point (maybe too thinly hinted at) was that Michelle Gomez is the one that actualy made me fall in love with Peter ... well she and Clara as I loved that dynamic and, despite not being into the ladies, I did find Clara to be absurdly beautiful! (Also tend to go for my own age so I say "fal in love with" figuratively ofc! ;-)
@@dmmoctober hahahaha I get you but yes they’re both great mrs Gomez is my favourite master easily ngl she’s just got so much depth behind her performance. U should watch doom patrol she kills it in that
@@LibertyBridgeProductions I'll give it a shot - loved her since that hospital comedy yonks ago that I otherwise found dull, so sure i'll love anything she's in!
Not mad about your opinion of Flux, Crispy. I want to like that season more than I do. There's genuinely great stuff in it (War of the Sontarans, Village of the Angels), but overall, it's a hot mess. There's entirely too much going on, and most of the plot lines seem to go nowhere. It's almost like there's several deleted scenes that they just couldn't shoot that would've explained things better.
Ive seen some of Capaldi's final series being the first 2 episodes and the last 2 + the Christmas special, maybe I'm missing out but Bill Potts annoyed the hell out of me. I came back cause John Simm was announced to be coming back as the master so I was like okay I've gotta see this now. Jodie Whittaker's era it's not the worst of all, flux in my opinion was the best but I love John Bishop, yes we love an overarching storyline but.... It was the timeless child... For that payoff alone put it in D
Am I the odd one out? 😅 I've always hated series 10, I literally fell asleep during the monk arc lol I do enjoy Bill Potts as a character, I think her and the Doctor's dynamic work great, she's not my favorite companion but a good one nonetheless. But my issue with series 10 is just the episodes. Most of them were just bad and you could tell Moffat had his hands full writing Sherlock while making series 10 at the time
Watched doctor who since I was five scared the poop out of me and watched it up to Jodie Whitaker I gave her a chance of about ten episodes and said I don’t think this feels right. Anyway love doctor who to bits and am looking forward to the future and seeing if it gets better. Peter Capaldi is probs my favourite. I’m rewatching it all now and maybe I will give Jodie another chance I just felt she was a bit stale and stating things in an anoying manner also far too many side characters that where unnecessary.
i was fully prepared to get angry as hell watching this but this tier list ended up being unbelievably based. agreed with pretty much every single take except series 8. fk series 8 all my homies hate series 8 worst season of all time.
i respect your opinion, even when i disagree with it a lot, my ranking: 1. series 4 2. series 10 3. series 3 4. series 1 5. series 5 6. series 8 7. series 9 8. series 7 9. series 2 10. series 6 11. series 11 12. series 12 13. series 13

What series do you think is the scariest/darkest? On a recent rewatch i realised how dark seeies 6 was. Especially night terrors with those dolls. 💀👻
Ye, I was about to say season 6 was incredibly dark. However, every season had its dark moments, like The empty child two-parter in season 1.
Night terrors was terrifying as a kid! Same with impossible astronaut and gas mask zombies!
Im gonna say Series 10, It had the most scariest and darkest episodes

You can probably tell I how excited I was when it was announced RTD was replacing Chibnall...
Next time you need to include all 26 Classic Era with the 13 Modern Era Seasons.
That's alot to ask as loads can't be watched.
HUGE
@henrycoulterpepper 96 out 695 isn't that bad. Plus, all of the audio from those episodes exist in their entirety. You can listen to them.
Crispy: It's just my opinion guys, don't hate!
Other people (not me): *dislikes it*
Definitely agree with everything you said about Eccleston, Tennant, Martha and Donna
Jodie Whitaker was way too light hearted after everything that happened maybe a good early doctor but no 13 truly an L run
Eccleston got me into Doctor Who… I hope he comes back one day… I still have faith…
my ranking would be completely diferend - season 1-4 : S ,,,season 5-7 : A ,,, season 8-9: B ,,, season 10: C,,, season 11-13: D
I personally think vincent and the doctor is a bit overrated. The final scene is beautiful but the rest of the episode is just ok for me
I've literally just finished rewatching modern Doctor Who, in time for November, and I rated the episodes as I went and hence ranked each series - and then came across this video! Good timing. Great video btw, and I largely agree! Here's how I would rank them:
Series 5 - 9.5/10
Series 4 - 9.5/10
You are entitled to your own opinion and can personally enjoy other series more. However, if series 4 and 5 aren't ‘critically’ your top 2 in either order - you are simply mistaken.
Series 1 - 9/10
Series 3 - 9/10
Series 6 - 8.5/10
Series 7 - 8.5/10
Series 2 - 8.5/10
Series 9 - 8.5/10
Series 10 - 8/10
Series 8 - 8/10
The 3 series of Chibnall's era are CLEARLY the worst ones, it’s not even close. If you enjoy them, great :). There’s some enjoyment to have. Just know that if they aren’t ‘critically’ your bottom 3, you are mistaken and it should be obvious. None of these series are terrible (overall), and there are definitely some highlights. But those highlights would be the weakest episodes in any other series of Doctor Who - or even The Sarah Jane Adventures. Overall, like children dressing up, it is an amateurish imitation of what it’s trying to copy - with poor dialogue, low production value, uninteresting characters with little depth, fan-service of the bad kind, and lots of wasted potential. Each series has great ideas but not executed well nor thought out properly. Chibnall goes out of his way to FORCE his mark on the show (not EARN it) with the whole Timeless Child nonsense. I would rank the series as follows:
Series 13 - 6/10
Series 12 - 5.5/10
Series 11 - 5/10
you must be some sort of clone becuase you match me almost perfectly to how i rate them. i could never understand how someone could watch series 11, 12, and 13 and put them any higher than previous series cos even on a surface level i feel its obvious how much more care went into series 1-10. plus chibnall deffo used the timeless child so he could stand out rather than create amazing stories
What a reasonable take. "You can have your opinion, but if it's different to mine then just know you are wrong". Jeez some people are insufferable.
bro put the flux over series 9
And he’s completely right
S: 4, 9
A: 1, 3, 5, 8
B: 2, 6, 10, Flux
C: 7, 11
D: 12
Most normie ratings except Series 9 being in S. I can't understand why people dislike it, 10 of the episodes were the best of Doctor Who, 1 acceptable and 1 awful. How is that not an S in my opinion?
Shouldn't the 10th doctors specials be included? I guess they are still part of season 4 which is already S tier without them.
*does the S Rank little dance*
I feel that Rose was a better companion with 9 than 10. I just think they tried to hard to push the romance story line and it destroyed season 2. The only episodes I really enjoyed were Doomsday, School Reunion, and The Girl In The Fire Place.
I agree which is why I prefer Martha and Donna over Rose when ranking my favourite 10 companions. It could have worked if they built it more gradually over time like Rose getting used to the new doctor struggling to fall for him like she did with 9, but the fact it was so forced and quickly happened ruined it.
@@goat_sama8239Totally agree. I was almost relieved when Rose and 10 was over, cause it felt so weird and forced compared to 9 and Rose. I mean her just accepting hes like a whole different person rn and just going on just doesnt feel natural. And 9 and Rose was just more than awesome. Rose as 9s Companion is maybe my fav one of all of them, but with 10 never
@@kyuubeychan for me 10s best companion is Donna only cause it was only companion that wasn’t written to be forcefully in love with the doctor. Martha could’ve been special especially with the way she had some the best episodes out 10s companions but her being hung up on the doctor and rose ruined what could’ve been tenants era best companion
nonsense
and you like grooming obviously
Crispy: *Puts Flux in A tier, over series freaking 10*
Me: "Pain........pain......pain.....pain...."
I've always thought that Jodie's first season was her absolute best.... In fact, it's her only good series, with only a couple episodes from her second and third (mostly her second) being good.
I mostly agree? I think I'd go:
S Tier: Series 4, Series 3, Series 9, and probably Series 5
A Tier: Series 1, Series 10, Series 8
B Tier: Series 2, Series 13, Series 6
C Tier: Series 7, Series 12
D Tier: Series 11
Tiers C and D are the only ones I find it more difficult to rewatch.
Does not even remotely resemble my rankings, but to each their own.
with the new sonic reveal you should do a sonic tier list (even if you haven't seen the classic stories, purely just based on looks)
Ooooh thats a good idea haha!
Series 9 up in A, series 11 in C and series 13 in B, then I agree mostly.
I cannot understand the love people have with the first season, i really don´t
Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi and Christopher Eccleston Era is my favourite Modern Doctor Who Era better than David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa Era
my order is 9, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 10, 7, 11 -- haven't watched 12, 13
I get that it's your opinion but also at some point once they get too extreme i don't think opinions can be objective anymore and putting Flux over season 6 is one of those times
Poor Jodie, she was great as the Doctor, if only Chibnall wasn't a hack writer. He had some fantastic ideas, but lacked the skill to develop them properly. If he hadn't written so much of the era, it could have been so good. He should have given the kernel of an idea and co-wrote with someone more skilled, and we could have had one of the greatest eras of all time. Instead, he tried to write too much himself and didn't have the skill to back it up.
Go to 7 minutes and 50 seconds and remember a good man goes to war.
BRO THE 10Th. DOCTORS NOT A STRANGE MAN 16:32
I realised i never got the 13th doctor specials steelbook so i got it on ebay and watched power of the doctor and i had the best time. Probably the best episode of doctor who and the thirteenth doctor is just so funny to me. So ive since started a rewatch and im 3 eps in and absolutely loving series 11. Even the characters which before i thought were lacking like everyone says im really enjoying. Its a lot more getting the character from the performance instead of loading up on family drama, which it does enough of and then cracks on. Mandip, Toisin and Bradley are all brilliant and when im watching it without scrutinising it so hard and comparing it to all doctor who and squeezing my stupid brain then of course im going to just engage with whats actually there and whats there is great. The music, which before i thought was dull, im loving. It adds a great atmosphere and intensity and really heightens the emotional scenes. Ep 2, the one i thought was super boring is just great writing for actors. It really stays with those supports and you get to know them as people and its very very not what the other series have done but its new (or was) and great.
Series 11 is under rated and indeed is all of 13s run. Mandip and Jodie are such a great pair
I find RTD writing a little overrated, the first series probably should be in A tier not S. But the rest of the ratings seemsfair. SM ratings on series are probably fair as well but I think that series 7 should probably be higher if we are including the 50th and Matt's send off, so that would be in A for me. However if we are doing that then are we counting the 4 specials that ended 10th Doctor era as a coda to series 4 or their own series? Same with the current 4 specials (would you count them as their own series)? I would count them as their own series, but the 50th and Christmas specials are usually appendages to their nearest prior series in my opinion.
CC era, I didn't watch as I never liked his writing. Some scenes I have watched seem great, so will get round to watching them in the end, I cant say whether the rankings are fair or not yet.
What the hell man, I thought we were friends 😢
For me it goes 4, 3, 5, 1, 6, 2, 10, 9, 13, 11, 8, 12, 7. All seasons have their merits for me but they ain’t created equal.
Series 1 Doctor A David tenant S, Matt Smith S l, Peter Capaldi D+, Jodie Walker C
Yes, another series 8 enjoyer! I was one of many people ready to drop the show after Matt Smith, but for the opposite reason than the majority. I never really enjoyed Amy Pond and her presence really brought down the Matt Smith era for me. Series 7B was not enough to rescue it. So I decided that if the show continued being like series 6 and 7 with Capaldi, that I was out. "Listen" and "Time Heist" were the episodes that really cemented me as a Capaldi fan, but it was the stupid joke where Strax beans Clara with a newspaper in "Deep Breath" that made me give the show another chance. It was the first time in a while that I had laughed at a joke the show made.
Even though series 8 has In the Forest of the Shite (and Kill the Moon), it has many episodes that I enjoyed much more than most of series 6 and 7. I can forgive terrible episodes, because at least I can marvel at how terrible they are and skip over them. What really sours a series for me is mediocrity.
I think it should have ended with Peter capaldi
I'm really bad at separating the rest but I'm certain that 10 is my favourite cos come on look at Capaldi's hair how can it not be
Series 1,3 and 4 solid S teir
My rank:
S - Series 4 and Series 10
A - Series 3, Series 5, Series 6 and Series 9
B - Series 1, Series 12 and Series 13
C - Series 2, Series 7, Series 8 and Series 11
D - None
For me it'd be pretty controversial to most, but it's:
Series 4 - Tennant - 9.5/10
Series 5 - Smith - 9.5/10
Series 12 - Whittaker - 9/10
Series 6 - Smith - 9/10
Series 7 - Smith - 8.5/10
Series 1 - Ecclestone - 8/10
60th Anniversary Specials - Tennant - 7.5/10
Series 11 - Whittaker - 7.5/10
Series 10 - Capaldi - 7/10
Series 3 - Tennant - 7/10
Series 2 - Tennant - 7/10
Flux - Whittaker - 6.5/10
Series 8 - Capaldi - 6.5/10
Series 9 - Capaldi - 6/10
Whilst I've put Capaldi's seasons so low, he is my 2nd favourite Doctor I just feel personally that his era had a lot of very low lows for me, but he had several massive highs. The other Doctors I liked more consistently though. There's no Series that I don't enjoy re-watching though, and not a single episode that I skip during a rewatch.
Could be worse my first episode was love and monsters 🙃🫥
Series 3 and the 11th Doctor era will always be my favorite parts of Doctor Who.
Flux is on the same tier as series 3... :I
My Personal Ranking would be:
1: Series 4
2: Series 3
3: Series 10
4: Series 9
5: Series 5
6: Series 1
7: Series 8
8: Series 2
9: Series 12
10: Series 13, Flux
11: Series 6
12: Series 7
13: Series 11
Series 11 is a generous C for me, and all Capaldi’s series’ are at least an A. Anything with Capaldi and Coleman is god tier.
To reference Saxon "You're insane!"
C is generous for season 7, not harsh lmao.
how could you not include the 09 specials
He was reviewing Series. And the 2009 specials are not considered to be a part of any series. Both Wikipedia and TheTVDB list them separately. Not even the BBC lists them as being a part of Series 4 or Series 5, but puts them in-between the two series.
So for a review of actual series, the specials wouldn't have made the cut since according to even the BBC they weren't a part of ANY series of Doctor Who.
I actually think The Timeless Child story was the best part of Jodi's Era. It finally resolved some dangling plot threads that had been around since the Tom Baker and McCoy eras. There always had to be a pre-Hartnell history for the character - though my head canon was that pre-Hartnell was the Theta Sigma era and that Theta Sigma was given a new regeneration cycle that began his history as The Doctor.
If Chibnall didn’t tell that story someone would of eventually
@nathanielfarkas4431 Agreed. Which is why I think The Timeless Child was the best part of Jodi's run. Someone was always going to pick up those Classic Who plot threads and finally deal with them. Jodi's Doctor was the one who actually did it.
My ranking would be:
S tier: 5, 4
A : 1, 10, 3, 8
B: 9, 6, 2
C: 7
D: 13
F: 11, 12
are you planning on doing a review of the new sonic since they showed us it or have i missed that video
Joey is my new favourite character with all his lil cheeky comments
Joey is the best!
Series 9
Series 6
Series 3
Are at least my top 3 but I'm not sure about the rest.
Series 11 is probably my least favourite.
Am I the only one who thinks series 7 was the best with Matt smith 😅.. I feel we had a lot of good stories and tbh I really enjoyed the dynamic between Clara and the Doctor
I really liked it (except for A Town Called Mercy and the Cybermen episode)
Ever since Votesaxon07 destroyed everything, you are now officially my new Doctor Who UA-camr!
You are correct lol Tim Shaw is definitely forgettable 😂
Glad to see Heaven Sent love. My favorite episode
new sonic just got revealed
Cant find it, where

Series 9,8 and 10 (in that order) are what made me a full on Whovian, even though I was fanboyish before then. And they have one clear, common denominator. Boy do I Miss those days! Yagetme? 😉☂️
@@dmmoctober yeh I get you absolutely for me Matt smith, Chris Ecelston and David Tennant made me a whovian Matt was my doctor though. So when he changed into Peter I found it hard then Peter just grew on me
@@LibertyBridgeProductions I getcha - but my main point (maybe too thinly hinted at) was that Michelle Gomez is the one that actualy made me fall in love with Peter ... well she and Clara as I loved that dynamic and, despite not being into the ladies, I did find Clara to be absurdly beautiful! (Also tend to go for my own age so I say "fal in love with" figuratively ofc! ;-)
@@dmmoctober hahahaha I get you but yes they’re both great mrs Gomez is my favourite master easily ngl she’s just got so much depth behind her performance. U should watch doom patrol she kills it in that
@@LibertyBridgeProductions I'll give it a shot - loved her since that hospital comedy yonks ago that I otherwise found dull, so sure i'll love anything she's in!
I love series 3 too
Not mad about your opinion of Flux, Crispy. I want to like that season more than I do. There's genuinely great stuff in it (War of the Sontarans, Village of the Angels), but overall, it's a hot mess. There's entirely too much going on, and most of the plot lines seem to go nowhere. It's almost like there's several deleted scenes that they just couldn't shoot that would've explained things better.
It's hard to know how much to blame on the pandemic for that kind of stuff. But I loved it (even though it was definitely messy!)
Ive seen some of Capaldi's final series being the first 2 episodes and the last 2 + the Christmas special, maybe I'm missing out but Bill Potts annoyed the hell out of me. I came back cause John Simm was announced to be coming back as the master so I was like okay I've gotta see this now. Jodie Whittaker's era it's not the worst of all, flux in my opinion was the best but I love John Bishop, yes we love an overarching storyline but.... It was the timeless child... For that payoff alone put it in D
Am I the odd one out? 😅 I've always hated series 10, I literally fell asleep during the monk arc lol I do enjoy Bill Potts as a character, I think her and the Doctor's dynamic work great, she's not my favorite companion but a good one nonetheless. But my issue with series 10 is just the episodes. Most of them were just bad and you could tell Moffat had his hands full writing Sherlock while making series 10 at the time
plus i believe series 10 he was looking after his mum or loved one so was not properly invested
@@SergeantAveryJohnson that's true
The BBC is drying out doctor who fans lol
Watched doctor who since I was five scared the poop out of me and watched it up to Jodie Whitaker I gave her a chance of about ten episodes and said I don’t think this feels right.
Anyway love doctor who to bits and am looking forward to the future and seeing if it gets better.
Peter Capaldi is probs my favourite. I’m rewatching it all now and maybe I will give Jodie another chance I just felt she was a bit stale and stating things in an anoying manner also far too many side characters that where unnecessary.
i was fully prepared to get angry as hell watching this but this tier list ended up being unbelievably based. agreed with pretty much every single take
except series 8. fk series 8 all my homies hate series 8 worst season of all time.
i respect your opinion, even when i disagree with it a lot, my ranking:
1. series 4
2. series 10
3. series 3
4. series 1
5. series 5
6. series 8
7. series 9
8. series 7
9. series 2
10. series 6
11. series 11
12. series 12
13. series 13
Your rankings are so crazy...
That they might just work!
Series 8 and 5 ties for my favorite
I can’t lie Jodie Whittaker I hated 1st series and I watched 2nd if I was bored and series 3 I wanted it to be finish for the next doctor
CrispyPro has been sponsored by a therapy place because he needs therapy:-\
Would probably be around the same rankings for the first five series, I'd give series 10 a B probably, but the rest are most likely a C for me.
Your not the only one who loves Flux
