Title: Ultimate Doctor Who Series
Post by: TheDoctorDonna on September 10, 2010, 09:08:16 pm
I just saw this elsewhere and thought it was a great idea, so here goes. Take your favourite chronological episode from each series to make the best series, like so...

1. The Eleventh Hour
2. The Fires of Pompeii
3. Gridlock
4. The Time of Angels
5. Flesh and Stone
6. Dalek
7. The Unicorn and the Wasp
8. Fathers Day
9. The Family of Blood
10. Vincent and the Doctor
11. Turn Left
12. The Pandorica Opens
13. Journeys End

Special: Voyage of the Damned

Its not as easy as you might think, but that is my choice of the ultimate Series :)

Whats yours?

3. The Unquiet Dead
4. The Girl in the Fireplace
5. Flesh and Stone

Surprised how little series 1 I put in there!

EDIT: forgot christmas specials. The Christmas Invasion was always my favourite of them.

Excuse me sir, I think you mis-spelled Dalek as 'The Doctors Daughter' - its an easy mistake to make!

You know what, as I was writing that I knew you would pull me up on it ;D

I love Dalek, above all other Dalek stories I think. But TDD gets such an unfair deal and I genuinly love it. Its a nice fun episode with an interesting new character and I love the bond that Donna and Martha have built up, and how protective Donna is over her. It has a few duff points, but as a one off episode it clinched it. By a hairs breadth :D

I actually can see where you are coming from, they were both very important in the development of the Doctor's character. And shame on me for not having any Season 4 stories in there as that was one of my favourite seasons!


Title: Re: Ultimate Doctor Who Series

Mine are mainly S4. My favourite so far

I think most of my second favourites would come from season 4. Really enjoyed the Sontaran two parter, loved Turn Left-Stolen Earth-Journey's End. Really liked Fires of Pompelli and Planet of the Ood was a disarmingly brilliant tale - all of those would be there or there about

Fun idea!  Here's my list:

1. The Eleventh Hour
2. The Shakespeare Code (hey, I thought it was hilarious!)
3. Victory of the Daleks
4. Time of the Angels
5. Flesh and Stone
6. Dalek
7. Unicorn and the Wasp
8. Father's Day
9. Cold Blood
10. Vincent and the Doctor
11. Turn Left
12. The Pandorica Opens
13. The Big Bang

Special: The Runaway Bride

Wow, you were right, some of them were tough!  There were times I had to choose among 3 or 4 that I really liked.  None of season 2 made my list as even a contender.  When in doubt I went with the Eleven cuteness factor (like #3, I thought all of them were pretty mediocre).  ;D

Yey for Victory of the Daleks :) Season 2 is a funny one. I did enjoy it and thought AOG/Doomsday was genuinely touching. But generally there was always something better to pick. I did manage to slot in TGIF though as I really loved that (It is not without its faults I accept but an irresistible tale).

3. School Reunion
4. The Sontaran Strategem
5. The Poison Sky
6. The Vampires of Venice
7. 42
8. Human Nature
9. The Family of Blood
10. The Empty Child
11. Turn Left

7. Amy's Choice
8. Human Nature
9. The Family of Blood

A few really easy choices but some very tough ones. The hardest was deciding between Human Nature/The Family of Blood and Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead - two stories that I absolutely love!

1. Asylum of the Daleks
2. The Fires of Pompeii
3. A Town Called Mercy
4. The Doctor's Wife
5. The Angels Take Manhattan
6. The Age Of Steel
7. A Good Man Goes To War
8. Father's Day
9. The Family of Blood
10. The Girl Who Waited
11. Turn Left
12. The Pandorica Opens
13. Journeys End

Special: Voyage of the Damned

Shows how much time changes opinion. I'd not have chosen half of those episodes had I done this today instead of 18 months ago.


Title: Re: Ultimate Doctor Who Series

Awesome idea! Here goes...

1. The Eleventh Hour
2. Day Of The Moon
3. Planet Of The Ood
4. The Doctor's Wife
5. Flesh and Stone
6. The Snowmen
7. The Unicorn And The Wasp
8. Silence In The Library
9. Forest Of The Dead
10. Blink
11. Turn Left
12. Army of Ghosts
13. Journey's End

Really tough choice between Blink, Midnight and The Girl Who Waited for 10. In the end I went for Blink but it was tough.

2 was tough too between Day Of The Moon and The End Of The World.

Surprised by some of the names I've got up there - a couple of duds.
