In my view Hell Bent is the last of a three parter; Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, it's a classic three part narrative. Similar to Utopia, Sound of Drums and Last of the Timelords.

"When David Tennant becomes space Jesus" could be used a lot for Tennant's run

Honestly World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls might be my favourite dr who story ever so it's def my favourite finale lol

If World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls isn't at the top I will cause an international incident

I adore S6 and the S6 finale lol. I really don't understand why it's so low for people. I must be blinded by my love for River haha. Anything involving her is right at the top. I think S6 is so high for me due to River's speech to the Doctor, "I can't let you die, without knowing you are loved. By so many and so much... and by no one more than me." Idk, just that one sentiment, especially with all the Doc's self-loathing, "I can't let you die without knowing you are loved" oof, gut punch.

13: The Timeless Children 12: The Vanquishers 11: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos 10: The Wedding of River Song 9: The Last of the Time Lords 8: Death in Heaven 7: The Big Bang 6: The Name of the Doctor 5: The Doctor Falls 4: Hell Bent 3: Journey’s End 2: Parting of the Ways 1: Doomsday

The best series finale is obviously Series 5 - pretty flawless! It's the kind of story that's so crazy it just shouldn't work (especially after that cliffhanger), and yet Moffat knocks it out of the park Then Series 1. People always call it the end of the Bad Wolf storyline though - it's not about that. This is The 9th Doctor finding himself in basically the same situation he was in during The Time War, and completing his character arc by choosing a different outcome; The 9th Doctor in episode 6 wouldnt've done that but, with help from Rose, he is now a changed man - and then he LITERALLY becomes a changed man. It's poetry! That series was so well thought out and the finale ties EVERYTHING together, not just the Bad Wolf thing And then sure, Series 10's was great too...

Interesting how there are mid-series finales in there but not any of the regeneration specials

No Attack of the Graske? It's the zenith of all Doctor Who!

Utopia and Heaven Sent are the best single episodes that are part of a finale.

Agree with most, except hell bent, would put that as great in my book. Also, I don't even remember the vanquisher finale 😅!

Season 4 was peak for me! Not surprising, cant wait till 60th and altso Ncuti!

Counting _A Good Man Goes to War_ and not _End of Time_ as a finale? Hmmm.

Moffat's two cybermen based finales were perfect to me

I will die on the hill that The Unqiet Dead is the 9th Doctor's Christmas Special as it takes place on Christmas

Personally I think RTD broke the numbering. He had the Doctor regenerate in Series 4 with no consequence at all to it. So either someone was going to count that as a regeneration or come up with some contrived explanation for why the Master, who sought more lives, didn't just do that if it's a loophole around the thirteen life limit. Plus it makes Ten more sympathetic in TEOT if he's on his penultimate life. 1/9/10 4/5/8 3/7(A+B) 2/6(A+B) 11/13 12

Next up, ranking video for every Doctor Who "Christmas" Special!😜 My favorite there is definitely Twice Upon A Time

If there's one thing I've learnt from this is that two parter finales are usually the best ones.

S - 1, 10, 7B A - 4, 6A, 7A, 5 B - 2, 3, 9, 12, 8 & 13 C - 6B, 11 D - none as of yet

I agree with most of the placements, but I would move Name of the Doctor to middling and A Good Man Goes to War a tier up. Heaven Sent should’ve been included just because it is the greatest episode of all time.

Agreed, World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls is the best finale

6:01 a good man goes to war isn’t a finale it’s a episode number 7 of series 6 to be precise so it shouldn’t be on there

My Ranking: 13. The Army of Ghosts/Doomsday 12. The Stolen Earth/Journey's End 11. Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways 10. The Name of the Doctor 9. The Wedding of River Song 8. The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos 7. Dark Water/Death in Heaven 6. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 5. Hell Bent 4. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 3. Utopia/The Sound of Drums/The Last of the Time Lords 2. Flux 1. Ascension of the cybermen/The Timeless Children

pretty good ranking, I agree with most of the points although I would put series 3 down to middling, as I wasn't the biggest fan of it. everything else is pretty spot on tho.

Not as big a fan of RTD finales as you are. Series One was awesome. His other three seasons are not so great to me. Some worse than others. Really didn't like Series Two. I like the end of Series Twelve a lot too!

I mostly agree, i would put series 3 finale higher and series 1 and 2 finale (sorry not big fan of rose) lower but otherwise i agree.

My ranking finale new who is 13th The wedding of river song 12th hell bent 11th the battle of ranskoor av kolos 10th dark water and death in heaven 9th the stolen earth and journey’s end 8th the vanquishers 7th The sound of drums and the last of the time, lords 6th the timeless children 5th the pandorica opens and the big bang 4th the name of the doctor 3th Army of ghosts and doomsday 2th world enough and time and the doctor falls 1th bad wolf and the parting of the ways

Viewer age/introduction plays a role in it. I started when the show was rebooted so the top 2 are flipped, but mostly the same for this except maybe 2 other episodes.

can someone explain to me why World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is so beloved? for me it was a Heaven Sent/Hell Bent situation all over again where the premise and set up and execution of the first part was perfect, literally amazing and perfect, but the second half was just a bunch of messing about and nonsense that doesn't pay anything off. I was so painfully disappointed by The Doctor Falls and I don't get the hype behind it.

Love the channel Crispy Pro! Been here for 4 months now and love the way you do your content and personality really nice to have a doctor who channel to watch! 🟦❤️❤️

Can you do a tier list of all the doctors first episodes

I'm the complete oposite with Hell Bent. I have tried but I simpley just don't like the begginng scenes for various reasons, but I find myself enjoying the episode a lot more when Clara comes back to to the chemistry between her and 12. There are things I don't like after that point though, such as the constant cutbacks to the diner which completely ruin the pacing for me.

Broooo season 6 is my favorite how can you put it there

Christopher Ecclestone gets Unquiet Dead which is set at Christmas tbf

3:19 crispy did u know that it’s possible to get copyrighted for singing not just music on a video 😂😂😂😂😂

The only thing I liked about the series 10 finale is that Bill died

18. The End of Time 17. The Wedding Of River Song 16. Legend Of the Sea Devils 15. The Timeless Children 14. Hell Bent 13. The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos 12. The Last Of The Time Lords 11. The Vanquishers 10. The Angels Take Manhattan 9. The Big Bang 8. Death In Heaven 7. Name Of The Doctor 6. Time Of The Doctor 5. The Doctor Falls 4. A Good Man Goes To War 3. The Parting Of The Ways 2. Doomsday 1. Journey's End

I don’t hate the timeless child messed with the regeneration count I hate how the doctor was the reason behind everything to do with timelords, regeneration, and the stories that deal with regenerations. It ruined Matt Smiths last story and the 12th doctors hybrid being himself. I’m just hoping the master was the reason behind it and putting false memories into the doctors head.

My brother watched Hell Bent for the first time a while back and I was surprised he liked it

heaven sent, theee best episode of all, so if you had called it a two parter with hell bent would have aced the table i think jodie did a fantastic job with the material given. i think the timeless child will keep the doctor on the screen for many more decades, with no more wierd life granting

Series 1 and 5 are the best I think, don't have anything bad to say about them.

I totally agree with your Flux opinion. I really enjoyed overall, but the finale let it down, which is a shame!

I think you saying that people don't like Timeless Children because it messes up the incarnation numbering does a huge disservice to the *actual* reasons people hate it. It's obviously not something petty like it messing up some numbers.

Nine's 'Xmas' episode was The Unquiet Dead

Great list, can you do series openers too?

For me the angel take Manhattan could have been a great episode but the simple fact that the statue of liberty his a weeping angel in this episode but that episode really low

The regeneration episodes should've been here tbh

I agree with most everything aside from TTC being so high, even aside from the terrible twist it's still an atrocious finale and it is 100x worse than season 7As, 8s, 9s and 6s finales

I love Heaven Sent, my favourite Capaldi episode, and it annoys me that its associated with the God awful Hell Bent. Heaven Sent was the perfect way to end Series 9, and have a completely different story take place on Gallifrey for a Christmas special. But no, Moffatt couldn't leave it there and had to completely undo everything and make the Doctors imprisonment in his confession dial completely pointless

@dwfan91 should make a version of this

agree except hell bent ml but ur channel logo is worrying lol ik it stands for crispy pro but i dont think its a good choice as branding lol

I will

How to you make vanquishers the most current season finale you seem to have forgotten Jodi Whittakers last run of episodes ending with her finale the power of the doctor. Not that it should rate very high

My Finale Ranking, awesome video as always ❤ 13.) Timeless Children S12 12.) Vanquishers S13 11.) Hell Bent S9 10.) Husband of River Song S6 9.) Battle of Ranskor Av Kolos S11 8.) Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords S3 7.) Death In heaven/Dark Water S8 6.) Name of the Doctor S7 5.) Pandorica Opens/Big Bang S5 4.) Bad Wolf/Parting Of the Ways S1 3.) Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday S2 2.) Stolen Earth/Journeys End S4 1.) World enough and time/Doctor Falls S10

The Vanquishers didn't even finalise it's plot. It was left with two big plot threads that just weren't pick back up. What the fuck was Time? Why was that never once brought up in the Power of the Doctor?

Pretty much agree with the whole list aside from The Stolen Earth/Journey's End would be at the top with Capaldis's last finale, and the Timeless Children. Would be right at the bottom.

I dislike _The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos_ so much that I count _Resolution_ as the finale of that season (in my own personal head canon). It feels much more like a finale.

My personal thoughts on my worst and best Best: Series 10 2 parter. Just wow. An excellent companion exit, a phenomenal multi master concept, the cybermen regain a fair amount of their original horror elements, Capaldi is at his best in my opinion (I love grouchy Capaldi, but damn he sells all the emotion, that speech about doing what is right, him helping a small group of humans regardless of if it's just delaying the inevitable, I just love him here) I don't shut up about this episode it's just great. The concept of time moving differently for the different groups of the main cast is genius and using that to show the cybermen upgrade themselves over years while its only been hours for the survivors is so cool. The master's betrayal of not only the doctor but missy too, a full self sabotage out of spite for the doctor. He can't stand the idea of giving up his malice that he commits suicide the long way round because he hasn't experienced her growth and doesn't believe he ever will, while she lays dying in the dirt wondering if she actually could redeem herself, or if he was right. The questions this finale poses for the master's potential in the future of RTD2 are mind boggling, will a master redemption story ever be retried or can they actually never be redeemed. Was the master right or was missy? We'll have to see if they pick that back up in later series. It's the perfect balance in the main timelords. 12 is reitious and kind, missy is evil with a real compassionate heart burried under centuries of conflict with the doctor, and the master just being fully consumed and amused by his own evil. It's just a joy to watch, I have absolutely no issues besides the teasing lead into the underwhelming Christmas special, because if this was Capaldi's swan song this would possibly be the best Doctor exit of all of Doctor Who, not just the best finale. Worst: tied between series 11 and 12. 11 is like you said bland. It's just a below average Doctor Who episode that's lazy on all fronts, evident as it was literally a first draft. And 12 is just painful. Canon breaking aside, it borders on disrespectful to the long term audience as well as the short term. It offers up explainations of the doctor's origin that in the grand scheme of things are totally irrelevant and inherently damage their entire history with Galifrey and their whimsical nature. It makes it to where the doctor isn't special because they broke free of Galifreyan society and did good throughout the universe, but instead were special by birthright and created the timelords making the doctor the most important being in all of creation simply for existing, which again negates the whole point of the doctor being some nobody from their homeworld that BECAME important. And remove all implications of the timeless child aspects, which is the entire point of the story, absolutely nothing happens. It's a bland destruction of thw cybermen which is undone mere episodes later. No lasting impact from a story that promised earth shattering revelations, no short term impact as all its creative choices have since been either dismissed or outright ruined, and they destroyed Galifrey over this terrible idea that they've already forgotten about. So many story opportunities gone by the wayside over something that practically doesn't exist anymore. It's a boring episode with an even worse base concept. But it's still tied with the series 11 finale because allowing a first draft of any episode of television (unless it's an immediate masterpiece first try) is absolutely absurd, especially when the episode count was cut from 12 to 10, there's no good excuses to film a first draft when you can't even develop a single main character beyond the surface level apart from ONE episode. Less episodes to worry about yet less work was put into every single one. Those two finales are gonna be hard to beat for worst, unless RTD gets hammered in the writing room and just has a random side character narrating softcore doctor who smut or something stupid. It's going to be a tough challenge to write a worse finale than those ones and I pose that challenge to any writer that wants to take it lol

WRONG WRONG WRONG actually your kind of right but i dont resect peoples opinons for attention

Yup... Yup, a good ranking. Russell was consistent, but Moffat's peaks could be stellar. He was being distracted by some other show... Has anyone heard of... I think it was called 'Sherlock'. Sadly, I've found very little in Chris Chibnall's tenure that holds my attention, or warrants a second viewing. It makes me reticent to give a damning judgement, but it just feels like there's no subtle by-plays to watch for, not much nuance to any of the characters. In Jodie's first season it felt like Graham delivered the most doctory style lines. The other companions were just interchangeable info dumps to prime the viewer for the Doctor's next actions. Nothing seemed to flow.

My favorite finales are series 1, 4, and 10. These three stand out the most in my mind for their performances, plot, and concepts. As a fan of the daleks and Davros, the series 1 and 4 finales were really great. I've always been a fan of the original cybermen, so to see a story that brought back the Mondasian versions was great and scary. As for Series 8 and 7, they were great and enjoyable, but not as much as the other three. The same thing can be said about series 5's finale. As for series 3 and 2, while fun to watch and enjoy, I'm not a fan of the 10 and Rose romance story, and of course, the whole space Jesus part in "Last of the Time Lords". Series 9, while having some really great parts like the first half and the Doctor stepping back into the TARDIS and getting his new Sonic, was not that great. Series 6 was very forgettable for me, there were some great moments, but nothing groundbreaking. As for series 11, 12, and 13, I have very mixxed feelings about. I'm the kind of person who enjoys the experience of watching any show or movie, even if it's bad, so the thought of it being bad most of the time won't click until a second viewing. Series 11, and 13's finales were very boring and/or convoluted. As for "the Timeless Children", this is the first Doctor Who episode that actually got me angry. As someone who grew up with the show, I just felt that the Doctor being the Timeless Child makes no sense given the established lore for over the past 50 (I'm going off of when the episode aired) years. I just think it's disrespectful and undermining the Doctor as a character and what their story had been..

1. The Big Bang 2. The Doctor Falls 3. Last of the Time Lords 4. Doomsday 5. Journey's End 6. The Name of the Doctor 7. The Parting of the Ways 8. Death in Heaven 9. The Wedding of River Song 10. Hell Bent 11. The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos 12. The Timeless Children 13. The Vanquishers

I reckon the Series 4 finale was overrated - there was too many cast members, too much going on, and generally too loud and bombastic. Series 5 however, is an underrated. Really enjoyed the pared back nature. Totally agree Moffat knocked it out of the park with the Series 10 finale - amazing stuff. Also agree that the Series 11 finale was incredibly dull. Nearly five years later, and I can't remember a single thing about it... except that it was dull.

We do blame chibnall

Not gonna lie, finales have rarely been good. Personally I feel they focus too much on world ending stakes and it has to be bigger than the last.

11:35 Don't you dare blame Moffat for Chibs stupid writing Ceispy alwaya being a shill for 13s era

1. Hell Bent was great. Not the best, but great. 2. The Timeless Children... Yeah, on its own, completely removed from anything and everything else, it's only kinda shit. More or less just not worth the time. But in the context of the rest of the show, this is the WORST story ever told in Doctor Who, and that includes things like "Kill the Moon", "Kerblam", and other hilariously horrible stories. It actively burns canon to the ground. No other story had ever managed to destroy the Doctor Who canon so much.
