the obvious reason why his eyebrows left is that he was saving eyebrow energy for 12

Matt Smith uttered the best line in television history in the doctors wife.Answering houses comment about killing time lords Matt replied "fear me I killed them all" epic

My Favourite smith stories 10. Hide 9. Vincent and the dr 8. The dr’s wife 7. The lodger 6. Day of the dr 5. A good man goes to war 4. The god complex 3. The eleventh hour 2. impossible astronaut/day of the moon 1 Amy’s choice

I love Matt Smith. He's just so good, he can go from great joy, to pent up rage, to bottled sadness.

Rebel Flesh & Almost People are brilliant imo. Loved them. Smith is my favourite Doctor, he’s such a complex character, he’s kind, loving, has a child like mind but can switch in to an angry, vengeful man in an instant. It’s like he’s scared of his own rage because if he lets himself slip, he has no clue of what he could truly be capable of. Absolutely brilliant.

Oh got, I never noticed his lack of eyebrows. :D I'll never be able to unsee that. Tha being said, I liked Matt Smith. Even though his time as the Doctor has the least amount of episodes that I really enjoy it's not his fault. He was actually really good at portraying the "weird old man trapped in a young man's body" part.

Hmm. You say "I could have taken an entire series of Trenzalore" and I wonder if that is one of the main issues people have with the episode. It tries to cram an entire season's worth of story/concept into one 60 minute episode. I don't hate the episode, but I don't love it either and I suspect that's why - it had some cool ideas but ultimately felt superficial because none of it was really given enough time to resonate. I could probably take an entire season of just Smith talking to Handles... xD

Town called Mercy was series 7.

At least the speech in Akhaten and the music was pretty great in isolation. The rest of the episode is forgettable though. Plus literally everything up to the new paradigm daleks was great in Victory of the Daleks.

I completely agree with your opinions of Time of the Doctor. It always makes me emotional knowing it’s Matt Smith’s last-hurrah, and is quite possibly his best performance as the Doctor. He is in his element as the Grandad-guardian of Trensalore. Honestly just thinking about it is making me want to go and watch it right now Edit: How can they make a disembodied Cyberman head a more compelling companion than Martha?

11th hour is one of the strongest 1st episodes for any dr.

My favourite is the god complex

I actually really love the akhaten speech and it is the only reason I even remember the episode. If it isn't my favorite doctor speech then it is atleast top 3. I just love the emotion and how it truly gives an insight into the doctor's true struggles. But hey that's just my opinion.

I know it's all subjective but man do I strongly disagree with your list. The Crimson Horror is brilliant, Rings of akhaten is under appreciated and has one of 11s best speeches, A christmas carol number 1? really? and you out time of the doctor on there???? The Eleventh Hour is one of the best as well as Amy's Choice and The Girl That Waited

11’s final speech is my favourite speech in all of who

The girl who waited is literally the best episode ever,I’m serious it’s a rlly good contained story that always gets overlooked as average and I think it’s the most overlooked ever. Also I’d say Christmas coral is as well I do agree with u there.

I feel like the whole River Song story arc was reeeeally edgy and they need to give it a rest with the whole "everyone's a psychopath and it's so sexy to be a psychopath and everything has to be sexy"

My favourite doctor was Matt Smith

The speech in the Rings of Ahkaten is my favourite 11th Doctor moment. He has so range in that scene it's unbelievable

Why did i like all the "worst episodes"

To each their own, but I thought The Crimson Horror was a fun romp.

The Crimson Horror is my favorite Gatiss episode. My main issue with Victory isn't the redesign but was the ending where he just thought really heart warming humany thoughts and was no longer a bomb as if that made any kind of sense. I know there have been similar plot elements in other episodes but this and Hide are love conquers all just not working. I liked that the daleks got away. I think The Time of the Doctor is horribly underrated. The only thing I'd change would be not bothering to call the town Christmas but that's just a nitpick. I would have preferred it as a multi part story but it's still a great episode.

Oh man, I love the Rebel Flesh and the Crimson Horror. Lots of rewatches there. Dx

I didn't ever like a NEW Doctor. But each one became the best. And I end up loving them all.

Nine will always be my Clown Hobo

Best: 5. The Pandorica Opens - I'm counting two-part stories as two seperate episodes. This one is iconic, it's hard hitting, it's fun, and it's easily rewatchable. 4. Time Of Angels - The atmosphere of this epsiode is Phenomenal. It's spooky, it's exciting, it's liminal, it's everything. River Song is also at her best in this episode. At the same time, a lot happens in this epsiode without it feeling overbloated. Amazing epsiode all around. 3. Day Of The Doctor - What can I say that hasn't already been said? 2. The God Complex - This one is an underrated gem. It is exciting, spooky, and more. The characters are easy to connect with, and while you are watching you get a sense of mystery and excitement throughout. It's so underrated! 1. The Impossible Astronaut - This is possibly top 10 episodes in Doctor Who history, and I'm talking 1963 and up. This is amazing. The action is amazing, the romance is amazing, the mystery is amazing, and a beautiful showcase of my favorite Nu-Who Tardis team: River, 11, Amy, and Rory. Worst: 5. The Wedding Of River Song - This really feels like Moffat has a bunch of different ideas for a finale, you he just crammed them all into one. This is the most overflowed episode since the Keys of Marinus, and that's not an overstatement. 4. Let's Kill H*tler - A dumb concept with an even worse execution. They save Hitler's life, and then the writers forget that he was in this episode. Also, the idea of tiny humans controlling a life-sized human robot is so dumb. The stakes are also as low as they can possibly be, with floating octopus robots. They aslo ruined River, making her insanely annoying and unlikeable. 3. The Power Of Three - I guess Doctor Who is an underdeveloped sitcom now. This episode just feels boring, and this is coming from somebody with a pretty good attention span. The worst part about this episode is the end, where The Doctor just waves around his Sonic and the day is saved. This episode also feels way to tryhard, with ultimately Forgettable speeches. 2. Nightmare In Silver - This is the textbook example of what not to do in a Doctor Who episode. The rules are simple: Don't overstuff it, don't be to childish, don't be to dark, don't use unlikeable characters, and don't use stupid concepts. This one manages to break all of these rules, as it constantly goes back and Fourth on whether it should be a childish episode for little kids or a dark and depressing epsiode for older audiences. I might also sound like an NPC for this, but it should've been a two-parter. 1. Dinosaurs On A Spaceship - It's as stupid as it sounds. This episode feels like it was made for genuine toddlers. With comic relief villians that won't shut up, and historical figures being there for litterly no reason, this episode is absolutely horrid.

I agree with this so much, I'm happy to find someone else who loves Time of the Doctor as much as I do, but I'm not gonna lie, I love Rings of Akhettan. It's not my favourite ever, but as far as the episodes where the doctor saves the day by just "Saying his name", I find it's the best that's been done. I also love Closing Time so much, it's the funniest episode ever and a nice break from the series 6 story arch.

All the best episodes were great pics, A Christmas Carol was always my favourite Christmas episode

11 is my favourite doctor because I only really got into doctor who when 10 finished and 11 started and for a similar reason basically all of my favourite episodes are Amy and Rory ones 😅 because I started with 11 I found it really hard to go back and watch all the old episodes but after months of work I finally did it

Gotta say, I loved Deep Breath. I actually hoped (and still do) that 12 would have kept his raggedy, victorian, propably stolen outfit from that episode, instead of getting The navy red-lined suitjacket.

With that chart of yours about the doctors, my eyes widened when I saw "Dandy Scientist" as "Daddy Scientist"

Why was the Doctor's daughter there when describing Moffat's characters?

What about A Good Man Goes To War?

I agree with most of your best list but I'd replace a town called mercy with the doctor's wife. The tardis being put into a human form and the dynamic she has with mat smith was amazing.

Every person has their doctor and eleven was mine. He was the first doctor whose first episode I saw when it first aired. I watched the odd episode before, like silence in the library, but I remember the day after the eleventh hour, at an after school club in year seven at my secondary school, two girls saying they preferred Tennant, and me just stood near, silently seething. Just the thought of his regeneration always makes my well up.

i'm not sure if it's in my top five, but a nightmare in silver i always felt was a rather fantastic episode. it has flaws, but it's one of the few episodes for me where the cybermen actually felt bone-chillingly threatening. i felt like it paid omage to the scifi trope of the 'the horror of the unstoppable, exponential growth of technology' brilliantly as it always reminded me of the scifi concept that i'm perhaps most scared of: grey goo. tiny robots that spread out among the stars with to produce more tiny robots. never slowing, never faltering, just consuming galaxy after galaxy and turning the available resources into more of itself. everything from cyber doctor (smith plays a great villain), to the cybers patching weaknesses on the fly, to the threat level being so high that the sacrifice of an entire planet for even one of them is justified. god it's just.. so good.

I got time of the doctor on DVD for Christmas one year and loved it I cried when I saw Matt Smith go but little did I know I'd end up loving 12 so much! I still have the DVD to I agree with you on that one :)

Honestly i loved the season 6 finale. I’d like to see what RTD would do but imo moffat did it awesomely. Maybe its just me but i love the whole moffat mysteries.

11s speech in rings of akhatan is incredible one of my fav moments

He's my favourite Doctor.

my favorite episode with Matt Smith is the one where he plays chess with the Cyber Leader.

Honestly, the Daleks in the Victory Of The Daleks should’ve been coloured Gold, Black, Silver, White and Red. Then we should’ve got a kind of Cult of Skaro idea but reinvented, 5 remaining Daleks made to imagine and expand the Daleks in the Universe. With them all being unique in their own ways, it’d be quite extraordinary to see one die too, because there’s only 5. Then after several sequels, we have one left...

while I agree that his era was a mixed bag, ur also right about the fact that he nailed the 'old man who still acts like a child' bit. he was such a beautiful complex doctor, (some fans often try to limit him by labelling him as one thing and saying they don't like it, but he was very complex and possessed a lot of many aspects to his personality). also, he was kind and endearing, but wasn't PC, which I liked. but then, he could be angry, bitter, but he could change his persona at the drop of a hat. and I like that he tried to keep things light. He's one of my favorites. Smith played him to perfection. but, I admit that I like Rings of Ahkaten and Rebel Flesh/Almost People--a lot. I also really enjoy Crimson Horror. it's so beautifully weird and I thought the paternoster gang was amusing. I also like characters being witty sometimes. I know people believe that his female characters don't feel real, but b4 moffat took over, the first two years of new doctor who felt very soap opera-esque and there was such an overabundance of drama that got me down eventually. i love series 3, but the doctor caused drama himself. that may be a concept of 'real', but sometimes, I like to get away from reality. sometimes, moffat's characterization helped me get away and kind of live in a fantasy. still, great video!

I actually really love the crimson horror, I think it's a really unappreciated episode.

10th doctor will always be the most engaging doctor but 11th did a pretty okay job of taking up the mantel even with the few blips.

I watched this episode before watching most of this era but I thought Rings of Ahkaten looked awesome and Town Called Mercy did not seem interested. I still think The Doctors speech in the Rings of Ahkaten was one of the best Matt Smith moments in Doctor Who but it is ruined by Clara stepping in and undermining not just The 11th Doctor but The Doctor in general. Town Called Mercy is so powerful. Handling the idea of making up for past mistakes in such a unique and touching manner

I'm so relieved you loved Matt Smith as much as I did. I stopped watching when he first arrived because I thought he was a ridiculous choice as Doctor Who. Way too young - he just didn't look the part. How wrong could I be? An old man inside a young man's body, he carries it off perfectly - his chemistry with EVERYONE especially Amy (and River) is second to none. Those three seasons are a bizarre combination of Matt's eccentric talent with Moffat's erratic writing. Moffat's strength became his Achilles heel for sure. The Silence, and Clara (or Oswin Oswald) in Asylum were the highlights for me, but the writer's absolute failure was his inability to solve the incredible breathtaking mysteries he'd created and his failure to kill off characters once and for all. In the end I'd have to record every episode because each plot was so convoluted I had to rewatch a few times to try and work out what the hell was going on (didn't you get the feeling he was over it by season 7? Murdering weeping angels???). My children are watching these three seasons for the second time and I find I still have to help them understand the Amy and Clara time streams. I'm not even convincing myself when I explain it. Well done on this review - can't believe the western and the shark Xmas story are there and no mention of Tom Baker in Day which made me cry inconsolably for an hour. In hindsight, his successor may be the greatest Doctor of all.

My only complaint about "the Day of the Doctor" is the Peter Capaldi's doctor had to be horse-shoed in for fan service. He serves no purpose. His screwdriver couldn't be used to help save Galifrey so why was he there?

I actually loved every episode you said you didnt in this video except for the crimson horror and I absolutely hated a town called mercy. I loved the Moffat era and eleven used to be my favorite doctor (even though hes been bumped behind 12 and 9 over time) I love the dark mystery tragedy of doctor who and eleven had that for me before 12 came along. Mysterys are my favorite part of who. (maybe that's my I binged sherlock in a sitting)

Tbh as much as it’s hard to admit Matts Doctor is the best.

the crimson horror is an episode i absolutely and completely forgot existed, why did you have to remind me

i love the eleventh doctor. Even if his episodes are so hit or miss. He's my second favorite next to Patrick Troughton.

I honestly find Akhaten (and Eleventh's run with Clara) to be some of the best work of this era. Season 5 is probably the worst modern season I've watched so far, Season 6 is... okay, but falls flat in the end, and the Ponds random write off simply pissed me off.

I dont get how you can say series 7 was so bad and then have 3/5 of the best episodes in the era from that season. Imo series 7 is vastly underrated despite some of its shortcomings in the form of a few bad episodes

Believe it or not: "The Day of the Doctor" was my first contact with Dr. Who. I was hooked and started with "New Who".

Smith "doesn't get outplayed" mainly because Tennant appeared to have completely forgotten his character in the 50th. Even a Tennant fanboy was unimpressecd

I love A Town Called Mercy! I'm glad someone else does too!

Jodie Whittaker (so far) is definitely the Dandy Scientist.

The Wedding of River Song is what killed the series for me. That was the moment I realised Moffat didn't have anywhere near the handle on things that I thought he did.

The Matt Smith era had the most underrated and overrated episodes of all time imo. Amazing episodes like Vincent and the Doctor and Amy's Choice are always forgotten but bad stories like A Good Man goes to War and Rings of Ahkaten are praised by most fans. I think Matt Smith is so forgettable because you can't remember how good his seasons were, and i think Jodie's facing the same issue. Season 6, 7 and 11 are just so forgettable because it's filled with so much "Meh" that everyone just forgets the good parts.

the end of season 5 and the beggining of season 6 are great

I watched the day of the doctor in the 3D cinema and was epic

I don't know why people hate series 7 so much. It's by far one of my favourites. The Crimson Horror is definitely in my top 10.

Rings of Ahkaten was one of Smith's best episodes. WTF.

Best: The Eleventh Hour The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone (Two parters count as one story) The Vampires of Venice Amy’s Choice Vincent and the Doctor The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang A Christmas Carol The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon The Doctor’s Wife A Good Man Goes to War The Girl who Waited The God Complex A Town Called Mercy The Angels Take Manhattan The Snowmen The Bells of Saint John The Name of the Doctor Worst: The Lodger Let’s Kill Hitler The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe Cold War- only because it’s ending feels rushed Closing Time That’s just my personal opinion- I’m much more of an Amy and Rory fan than a Clara fan

Aww I really loved the Akahten Speech. It's one of those speeches fans bring to older Doctors in conventions, and a speech recreated by fan impersonations. Also, I don't really understand the hate for the new Dalek designs. What's wrong with them? Is it the colors? I don' think the colors are bad...

Odd choice. I would have put Day of the Doctor as one of the worst episodes. Top 5 Smith stories for me are: 1. Pandorica Opens/Big Bang 2. Good Man Goes To War 3. Wedding of River Song 4. First story of Series 6 (Sorry, I forgot the names) It's the one in America 1969, with the Silents 5. The Weeping Angel 2-parter in Series 5

Spot on. Smith was a great actor, but be sometimes fell info the pitfalls of Moffatt's writing

My Moffat verdict. He’s a great writer as his stories stood out during Russell’s era. But there’s only so much you want from his mysterious stories.

I love the Time of The doctor and I have tales of trenzalore

The rebel flesh was good because it terrified the shit out of me. It gave me nightmares for a week until The Almost People Aired and the resolution calmed me.

The only episodes I dislike of 11s run was the entirety of Series 7 Part 2, besides Name of The Doctor which was great. Honestly, everything else, YES, including s6 finale was either brilliant, enjoyable filler or just perfect. The s6 finale, I thought it was brilliant in how it wrapped everything up but also opened new doors regarding new questions “Doctor... Who?”. My favourite about s6 is the plot development and build up. Similar with s5. s7 was good for the first half but ignore the second beside the finale and all’s good.

I watched every episode from Eccelston to mid Capaldi but remember nothing about the metal flash or whatever its called. So forgettable I don't even remember the title after staring at it in this video.

I was nodding with you but I liked the almost people. I liked the confusion and the jumps. It was around upper mid table for me

I will never quite understand how I can love Mark Gatiss, but not really care about most of the episodes he wrote. He has a love of Horror and Pertwee, that never quite translates properly to the screen. His audio 'Phantasmagoria' is alright though.

Best 5.day of the doctor 4.christmas carol 3.time of angles\flesh and stone 2.good man goes to war 1.eleventh hour Worst 5.asylum of the daleks 4.wedding of river song 3.curse of black spot 2.dinosaurs on a spaceship 1.power of three

11TH DOCTOR WAS THE BEST

Vincent and The Doctor is one of my favourite Doctor Who episodes ever

I would say the paradigm Daleks weren’t bad. They were a refreshing take on the Daleks taking away the bronze and old looking design for some newer colorful ones. Also I think it’s funny how some people forget that the Daleks were actually colored in the classic series and they immediately conclude that when New Who does it, it has to be a cheap marketing scheme. Also what a lot of people including DAVIS don’t want to mention is that the paradigm Daleks were brought back after this, specifically in the episode “Asylum of the Daleks.” But SCREW FACTS I just wanna complain, right?? Isn’t that how it goes? Lol. People just need to grow up sometimes. Liked the rest of the review!

THE RINGS OF AKHATEN WAS THE BEST WTF!

My unpopular top 5 best and worst Best: 1. Vincent and the Doctor 2. The eleventh hour 3. Amy's choice 4. the Pandorica opens and the big bang 5. The Doctor's wife Worst: 1. Asylum of the Daleks 2. The snowmen 3. Angels take Manhattan 4. Name of the Doctor 5. Rings of Akhaten

Best 5 (No particular order) 1. The Day of the Doctor 2. Vincent and the Doctor 3. The Rings of Akhaten 4. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 5. The Doctor's Wife Worst 5 1. The Bells of Saint John 2. The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People 3. The Crimson Horror 4. Victory of the Daleks 5. The Wedding of River Song

During the rebel flesh part did he just call a good man goes to war bad? A good man goes to war is like the best episode of 11's entire tenure!

I absolutely loved him

Doctor Who itself even did A Christmas Carol in 1986, with Colin Baker's Trial of A Timelord season.

Hi! I agree with most of your list (which is a relatively difficult challange) however I personally would have made number one journy to the center of the tardis will always be and has always been my favorite episode.

4:48 why are they all wering eyepatches

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more like I was in the bizarro world, because whilst I am terrible at ranking things, Davis’ entire worst list would almost certainly be in the running for my favourite Matt smith’s episodes.

i hate the seriousness of 11. it frustrates me when he tries to be all dark and cold. it ruins the levity of his character and makes me distrust him in a way that i wasn't sure was intended. basically all of series 7 except cold war is unwatchable

My lists: Favourites: 1)Day of The Doctor 2)Time of The Doctor 3)The Doctors Wife 4)Amy's Choice 5)Town Called Mercy Least Favourites: 1)The Power of Three 2)Wedding of River 3)The Angels take Manhattan 4)Journey to the Centre of the Tardis 5)Asylum of The Daleks Honourable Mentions Eleventh Hour The Beast Below Vincent and The Doctor The Lodger Closing Time Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon Curse of the Black Spot Good Man goes to War Pandorica Opens Dishonourable Mentions: Let's kill Hitler Hide Cold War

Of the bottom 5, I loved all of them except the Rebel Flesh/Almost Human

I thoroughly disagree with you on many, many aspects of what you said in this video for example, I think that The Wedding of Riversong was amazing - possibly the best episode of 11's run and I honestly didn't really like A Christmas Carol. Matt Smith is my doctor :p. Great video though, I love that you exist 'cause I really love hearing someone with such interesting opinions' views on my favourite show of all time.

I like the victory of the Daley’s, it’s a good story, with yes, a slightly disappointing ending but a fairly enjoyable watch, people seriously need to get over the Daleks looking different.

No writer is ever going to be as good as Russell T Davies. And Ten is always going to be my Doctor.

I miss the 11th HE WAS THE BEST DOCTOR IM CRYING THAT HE LEFT ;(

WORST: 5. The Wedding of River Song 4. Night Terrors 3. The Crimson Horror 2. Let's kill Hitler 1. The Curse of the Black Spot BEST: 5. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 4. The Day of the Doctor 3. A Good man goes to war 2. The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone 1. The Eleventh Hour

Controversial opinion, but I actually really like The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People, the CGI is a bit... interesting, but all that aside I actually think it’s a really interesting episode.

Top Worst. 10)Dinosaurs on a Spaceship(s7 e2). 9)Closing Time(s6 e12). 8)Asylum of the Daleks(s7 e1). 7)Hide(s7 e9). 6)The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe(Christmas Special 2011). 5)The Angels Take Manhattan(s7 e5). 4)Let's Kill Hitler(s6 e8). 3)Victory of the Daleks(s5 e3). 2)The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People(s6 e5-6). 1)The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood(s5 e8-9). Top Best. 10)The Doctor's Wife(s6 e4). 9)A Town Called Mercy(s7 e3). 8)The Power of Three(s7 e4). 7)The Snowmen(Christmas Special 2012). 6)A Good Man Goes to War(s6 e7). 5)The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang(s5 e12/13). 4)A Christmas Carol(Christmas Special 2010). 3)The Impossible Astronaut(s6 e1-2). 2)The Eleventh Hour(s5 e1). 1)Trilogy of the doctor(Name/Day/Time).

Power Rangers? No, no, no. The Paradigm Daleks are Skittles.

Crimson Horror is the scariest doctor who episode of the revival era... Change my mind
