This is my personal ranking of every season of New Who. The specials do not factor into the ranking. Feel free to comment how you would rank things or any agreements or disagreements you have.

1. Series 5

2. Series 4 (Series 4 and 5 are the absolute peak of the revived series so far. Sure neither are perfect but they are both fun, emotionally impactful and well thought out season long stories.)

3. Series 6 (I'll admit The Wedding of River Song is a bit of a mess and The Curse of the Black Spot feels like filler but everything else is great and it has three of my favorite episode of the show ever in The Doctor's Wife, A Good Man Goes to War and The God Complex.)

4. Series 10 (There aren't really any bad episodes in series 10. The worst I can say is The Empress of Mars and The Eaters of Light are kind of boring but even they have strong elements. The Monk trilogy ends kind of poorly but was interesting enough to be a net positive. This series has three great companions in Bill, Nardole and Missy, the return of John Simm, Mondasian cybermen and a fresh and fun vibe.)

5. Series 1 (Series 1 and 10 would probably be switched if The Unquiet Dead wasn't so boring until the last five minutes and they didn't dedicate three episodes to farting aliens.)

6. Series 12 (Basically just really good besides Orphan 55 which I honestly enjoyed just as a fan of weird looking monsters and The Timeless Children which I think was a fine episode in and of itself. Some people don't like Praxeus but it was pretty average in my opinion. Everything else was either pretty good or fantastic. I know people want to bash it but I can't hate a series that has Captain Jack, The Master, scary cybermen, a new cool Doctor and Judoon.)

7. Series 8

8. Series 3 (This would probably be higher if Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks wasn't so bad)

9. Series 2 (Having Fear Her and The Idiots Lantern in one season wasn't great.)

10. Series 9 (Hell Bent and it what it retroactively does to the two episodes previous to it really drags series 9 down.)

11. Series 7 (It feels very disjointed and they basically threw away a Neil Gaiman script. Matt Smith is great as always. I think I'm the only person who loves The Crimson Horror)

12. Series 11 (It was honestly just so boring overall. There were highlights like It Takes You Away and Demons of the Punjab and The Woman Who Fell to Earth was strong but the vast majority of the season was very boring. The Finale is an okay episode but doesn't feel like a finale at all.)

This is a list of my personal favorite story per season/series/block of episodes. Feel free to comments your favorite or any disagreements you have.

1. Season 1: The Keys of Marinus (I know it's not the most iconic story of season 1 but it's just really scifi goodness)

2. Season 2: The Dalek Invasion of Earth

3. Season 3: The War Machines

4. Season 4:The Tenth Planet

5. Season 5: The Tomb of the Cybermen

6. Season 6: The Mind Robber

7. Season 7: Spearhead From Space

8. Season 8: Terror of the Autons

9. Season 9: The Sea Devils

10. Season 10: The Three Doctors

11. Season 11: The Time Warrior

12. Season 12: The Ark in Space (much better than Genesis)

13. Season 13: Pyramids of Mars

14. Season 14: The Deadly Assassin

15. Season 15: Horror of Fang Rock (I honestly wasn't too impressed with season 15 as a whole.)

16. Season 16: The Pirate Planet (Possibly my favorite Tom Baker story)

17. Season 17: City of Death (I count Shada as part of this season but still prefer City of Death)

18. Season 18: Logopolis

19. Season 19: Earthshock

20. Season 20: Enlightenment (probably my favorite Davison TV story)

21. Season 21: The Caves of Androzani

22. Season 22: The Two Doctors (Not as high in quality as Revelation of the Daleks, Attack of the Cybermen or Vengeance on Varos but I enjoy it more.)

23. Season 23: The Ultimate Foe

24. Season 24: Dragonfire

25. Season 25: Remembrance of the Daleks

26. Season 26: The Curse of Fenric

27. 1996: TV Movie

28. Series 1: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways (Weirdly is rarely people's favorite story form this series. That's likely because it's really dependant on what came before so the people who like the dalek storyline of series 1 or more likely to prefer dalek and some people don't like Bad Wold despite it being a really fun and creative episode that's dated in exactly the right way.)

29. Series 2: School Reunion (It has the return of Sarah Jane Smith and K9 and Anthony Head is great in it. Toby Whithouse is one of my all time favorite television writers)

30. Series 3:Human Nature/Family of Blood (much better than Blink)

31. Series 4: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (my favorite Tennant story and one of the most rewatchable)

32. Tennant Specials: The Waters of Mars (Some of the darkest and most cinematic Doctor Who that exists with really nothing that I can think of wrong with it.)

33. Series 5: The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone (A major improvement on Blink with a great atmospheric setting, the return of River Song, a strong guest cast and plenty of seeds planted for later on. My one criticism might be I'd like a slightly more nuanced depiction of religion in the future.)

34. Series 6: The Doctor's Wife (I love Neil Gaiman and I actually got into the show because I knew he'd be writing for it. The first Doctor Who Magazine I ever bought was focused around this episode.)

35. Series 7: The Name of the Doctor

36. 2013 Specials: The Day of the Doctor

37. Series 8: Deep Breath

38. Series 9: Heaven Sent (This is only technically a two parter)

39. Series 10: World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls

40. Series 11: It Takes You Away

41. Series 12: Fugitive of the Judoon (Captain Jack and a new Doctor plus the Judoon makes for a fantastic episode,)

Does anyone now why the seasons being released on blu ray are so sporadic in terms of which Doctor it is and what season? Like why bot just release each Doctor's season in order instead of releasing Pertwee season 4 and then Pertwee season 2 a year or two later.

The following is a list of actors I think would be good in the role and who aren't so big that it's completely unimaginable they would take the role. I'm including parts that highlight why they'd be a good fit. Feel free to provide your own suggestions or either agree or disagree with these. I know some of these actors are pretty big but I'm just avoiding listing people who are so rich and famous that they them accepting the role would sound like an April Fools joke like Jude Law for example.

1.Paterson Joseph (Neverwhere and Peep Show. He also was in the finale of series 1 but that doesn’t really translate to why he’d be a good Doctor)

2. Harry Melling (was in Harry Potter but is better represented in The Queen’s Gambit and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. He’s also Patrick Troughton’s grandson.)

3. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones)

4. Suranne Jones (Idris/The TARDIS in the Doctor’s wife. Gentleman Jack)

5. Rhys Darby (The X-Files/Guns Akimbo and a million other things)

6. Charlotte Rampling (Dexter season 8 which she was good in despite it being bad)

7. Jamie Parker (Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child/ several roles in Big Finish)

8. Kelly Macdonald (Trainspotting/Traisnpotting 2/ Black Mirror)

9. Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9/ Psychoville/ the villain in the admittedly weak episode Sleep No More/ Patrick Troughton in An Adventure in Space and Time)

10. Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully in The X-Files/Media in American Gods/Bedelia in Hannibal)

11. Will Poulter (Bandersnatch/Midsommar)

12. Michael Sheen (Good Omens/Prodigal Son/ the voice of House in The Doctor’s Wife)

13. Ian McShane (Coraline/American Gods/John Wick/the new bad Hellboy movie)

14. Mark Sheppard ( Canton in Doctor Who/Crowley in Supernatural/ a million other things)

15.Damien Molony (Hal in Being Human)

I feel like season 11 has more in common with classic Who than the modern era, notwithstanding the increased attention given to identity politics. I noticed:

-cold opens are dispensed with

-there is a title sequence and theme more reminiscent of the 70s run than the other new who iterations

-a more two-dimensional doctor who is straightforwardly good and does not develop much as a character across the series

-a Tardis team that seem to represent the children viewers more explicitly than in previous new who series. To emphasise this the Doctor repeatedly infantilises them

- no series arc

As much as I can appreciate the nostalgic approach I do think it marks a regression for a show that had been building on its original concept since it was relaunched.

Sorry if this has been written about loads and I’m just repeating a widely shared idea. I’m relatively new to new Who and I’m still trying to work out where everything fits in the show’s history.

Since The Timeless Children aired earlier this year, fans have been in uproar about the twist that the Doctor is the Timeless Child. Me personally, I think this is a great idea, just with the wrong mind directing where it will go, but I digress. I do think, though, that there's more to this than we've been led to believe. Specifically, that the Timeless Child is not the Doctor, but rather the Master.

Let me explain: the Doctor and the Master have been fighting for millennia. Their relationship is vast and complex, and the Master almost always comes out as the loser of their battles. The Master is also a narcissist, believing himself above all other life, the one true, deserving ruler of the cosmos. This newest incarnation seems very angry, and would almost certainly take it out on others. Now, of course, when he said he was furious because his genetic code was the Doctor, I was confused. The Master has never straight-up HATED the Doctor, merely opposed them. It's a confusing, topsy-turvy relationship that goes beyond "good and evil", and while it may just be Chibnall's shitty writing, I have hope that there's something more. The Master also hates any deprication of their self-worth, and they posess a constant lust for power and admiration from the rest of the universe.

Based on ALL of that and the fact we haven't seen any proof ourselves, leaving us to trust the Master (if those the words "trust" and "Master" are in the same sentence, you're either lying or sick), this is the conclusion I've come to as to what REALLY happened: The corpse of the Master (Missy) was discovered by the Time Lords and brought back to Gallifrey. Knowing they couldn't lose the Master for some reason or another, they revived them with a new regeneration sequence, allowing the new Master to explore the Citadel, finding the information that THEY were the Timeless Child, the genetic code for all Time Lords, possibly the most important person in the universe, all along. So why not boast? The Master loves their secrets. Instead, they took their anger out on Gallifrey, acting as a one-person army and slaughtering them all. Still not satisfied, they traveled to Earth in 2020 and began tormenting the Doctor, later telling her that SHE was the Timeless Child. It's not hate, it's misdirected anger towards the Time Lords.

What do you think happened to the Master’s TARDIS after the events in Spyfall? As her TARDIS was in San Francisco, she probably would’ve taken it there, but I wonder if it was left there or someone took it. Thoughts?

I’d love a “Turn Left” novel, to see Donna’s world further explored.

Which Doctors would be in it and what enemy (or enemies) would they face?

doctor who has somewhat limited special effects because of the low budget, but let's imagine a hypothetical scenario in which the BBC invests a lot of money in the series in addition to using The Volume technology used in The Mandalorian, how do you think these new episodes would be?
