Season 14 is number 1. It has to be, it has my two all time favorite stories, Robots and Talons.

Silver Nemesis isn't a masterpiece but it deserves better than 11 i think its enjoyable and a great supporting cast.

I would only exchange season 19 for 22, otherwise this list is spot on in my opinion.

Does anyone know which second doctor episode is the one with the duplicate?

Whew! Finally got through them all. Great job! I enjoyed your perspective.

I'm not sure what it is, maybe something to do with the adapting we all have to do to enjoy 60's TV in the first place, but with the exception of a few popular ones like the Aztecs, the Dalek and Cyberman stories, and the Time Meddler, everyone I've seen ranks First Doctor stories wildly differently. Any one story is loved by some and hated by others and thought okay by others still. It's strange. For me, Space Museum is actually one of my favorites, and the weird comedy of the Romans doesn't appeal.

I think Lala Ward was over dressed in City of Death

A very good ranking, agree 100% with your #1 episode Villa Diodati. I don't think this era is as bad as it's reputation would suggest. I prefer Chibnall's writing style to Moffat's because it',s not trying to be clevrr

Great ranking. The top 10 are all superb. Can't argue with any of them.

Apologies for privating this video, I had to edit out a couple of seconds of footage that was unedited. Hope you all enjoyed this series. :-)

I see chibnall as a diet Moffat in Terms of quality, never getting as low as Moffat’s low, but never getting as high as moffat’s high. Although saying that will get me hate.

Nice

I’m tied between the 1st and 3rd doctor for my favorite doctor,because on one hand all my favorite classic who stories are in Pertwee’s era,but Hartnell has the best doctor performance

My own personal favourite is Day of the Daleks. The thing about classic Doctor Who is that there are always flaws, whether they are in the script , the production, the direction, the acting, the sets, the design etc and your enjoyment of a story often depends on how much the good aspects outweigh the flaws. In the case of Day of the Daleks I find that the flaws don't really bother me. The Daleks aren't written into the story that well and they aren't portrayed or directed well. But I don't mind. The story is really good, the pacing is good, the acting is good - in particular I loved Aubrey Woods. He is great as a slimy, self-serving, cruel controller of the human workers acting as a middleman for the Daleks but he also convinces as a man who, in his own twisted way, is trying to do the best for those humans who are being worked to death and his transformation when the Doctor convinces him to switch sides and help destroy the Daleks, which leads to his own self-sacrifice, is very moving. That aspect of the story is mirrored by the guerrillas who are genuinely trying to save the human race by killing Reginald Styles but through their interactions with the Doctor eventually realise that they are actually helping to bring about its destruction. It's that element of tragedy in those two parts of the story that gives this story an amount of depth that, for me, make it one of the most emotionally satisfying stories of Doctor Who that I have watched.

You say what you like, the cliffhanger at the end of episode 4 of The Invasion of Time, when the Doctor thinks he's won and the Sontarons appear from nowhere, was one of the most thrilling things I've ever seen in my life. I was 8 and in heaven.

Im still getting through the entirety of classic who although I do have a few favourites not in any particular order. Seasons 7, 5, 2, 14, 6, and 10. Im currently on season 17, and I am so exhausted watching Tom Baker's era. I've been binge watching cos I really want to move into Peter Davison's era. Btw your list is amazing and totally agreed with.

Swap Planet of Evil with The Deadly Assassin and that would be a list hard to argue with.

For me The Aztecs is my favourite First Doctor story, but the Massacre is a very good episode too, if they find new episodes again it would be The Massacre or Marco Polo that I'd like to them to find

Minor controversial opinion, but s24 is THE worst season of any doctor who show. Yes even the chibnall era, which i think is over hated. I call it minor, because I think a lot of people are gonna agree with me, but a lot of people are also gonna hate me for saying that.

Good list - agree for most part. Resurrection of the Daleks have fond memories for just how big they were going with all the sets and action pieces. Have fond memories of it and I'd love to see a redone effects version. CofA is classic. Didn't like it as a kid however...boring politics and such :P

I'm looking forward to rewatching these again since they aired. I don't think I gave these stories enough credit and Peter Capaldi was a fantastic Doctor. I do remember being blown away (in a good way) by Heaven Sent - it was done so well on so many levels.

I can't remember these stories well enough to rate them but I do remember the Space Museum Eps. 1 being fantastic. The rest of it...well, you kinda said it true lol.

Pertwee for me doesn't pick up until Three Doctors. Exile didn't work wonders. Inferno is my least favorite story. McCoy the last eight stories i have seen at most twice, the one that stuck was Greatest Show of the Galaxy.. 20 and 21 are way low. I don't share the love that many folks have about Caves of Androzani.

Funny - Mutants and the Time Monster are some of my fave Pertwee stories. Inferno is indeed a masterpiece however. But I enjoyed listening to different opinion :)

Dinosaurs in outer spaces, was the worst one he had

Really enjoyed that, mate! Good work.

I reject anything 2018 onwards, so this is where it ends for me. I love Capaldi’s performance, he’s superb.

Classic Doctor Who- no substitute ⭐️

Revelation holds back the Doctor who is barely in. Which was on purpose by Eric Saward. It also holds back the Daleks who are just guards.

I think War Machines has my all time favorite 1st Doctor Moment. At the end of Episode 3 where the War Machine attacks the soldiers, and Hartnell steps forward, staring down the machine as the credits role. It’s a pitch perfect visual summary of Hartnell’s Doctor.

Great video. Our rankings are very similar; just a handful of episodes that I’d place differently. Also, I can never get too much of the Shepherd Boy music😂. Thanks for your hard work.

I would rank "Delta" lower (not enough plot for three parts, an oddity for Cartmel) and "Paradise" higher (some interesting social commentary).

The Twelfth Doctor. I'm sorry, but I truly hated this Doctor. Peter Capaldi was probably the biggest fanboy to take the role, and he played the role as if he was anything but. I admit that I saw very few of Capaldi's stories since I never had access to the channel in the States, but I've seen enough on KZfaq to really color my dislike of the character. As I noted in your Sixth Doctor ranking video, Capaldi pretty much got what Colin Baker truly wanted for HIS Doctor: a callback to the Hartnell Doctor in that you could never truly trust his motives and by how unlikeable he started out. Baker said he wanted his Doctor to earn respect and gradually, over the course of three or more seasons, learn how to be a hero again. That's pretty much the story arc Capaldi got, and Baker never did. But Baker was able to leaven his characterization thanks to Big Finish, which proved he could still be off-putting, narcissistic, and nasty, but, in the end, darkly loveable. Capaldi never really GOT that leavening, and, to me, he remained this unlikeable creature throughout. And I never really appreciated any of his companions. When they weren't trying to ascribe ulterior motives and introduce needlessly complicated origin stories, we never really got a true companion to assist the Doctor. I never liked Clara (except her body /snark), and Twelve's other companions weren't so much assisting the Doctor as awaiting their own storyline to take them away. The approach simply didn't work. Now, I know some will disagree, calling Capaldi's Doctor underrated, but I never felt that. Even in his final story, Twice Upon a Time, he never really won any appreciation from me. Even Hartnell won a lot of appreciation by the end of his term, and Colin was very much reprieved by his Big Finish stories. Capaldi's "twenty-minute" speech right before regenerating left me cold. It was one of a handful of episodes I did see - mostly because of the First Doctor's appearance - and I was just screaming "SHUT UP AND CHANGE ALREADY!!" It really is too bad. After years of the young-ish "Madmen in a Box," we really wanted a more mature Doctor to lead the way, but it just failed miserably for me since I never warmed up to this Doctor. It was what we needed, and it simply wasn't enough.

Android invasion deserved more love, far better than rated and certainly more/scarier than others further ahead.

Also, the Vervoids look too... phallic.

I’d place Pyramid at the End of the World much much MUCH higher, personally. I really enjoy that one a lot- watching the Doctor scramble to save the world from a threat he can’t even source. How does the Doctor save the day when he doesn’t know what he’s saving it “from”?

Hate Donna. Hate Catherine Tate. She's terrible and annoying. Even more so in the "specials". IMO

Listen at 3 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

0:14 postman pat in black and white

I'm not that far into the video yet, but the caretaker is criminally low! It's a great comedy!

Good ranking video for a very underrated Doctor. He's the closest we got to a classic Dr in modern Who 👍

Apologies for the sound mixing, I will remember this for the next video!

Same as the others , great video but the mixdown is out . Definitely turning out to be a great channel 🎉

World Enough and Time is a great episode, but I feel the Doctor Falls lets it down as a two-parter. I'm also in the Listen is overrated camp. Heaven Sent, Mummy, and Flatline are good episodes though. I think I'm surprised to see looking at this that not only was Capaldi a better Doctor than Smith, but his era was slightly better too.

can you say that again, i couldn’t quite hear you

great video! But I wouldve personally put Dark Water / DIH a bit higher

your music is too loud in the mix; can barely hear what you are saying

For the first time in 30 years of being a fan, the Smith era is where I got to the point where I enjoyed it so little, I rarely rewatched it after transmission, so I struggle to remember stories names and which season they were in, etc, and many merge into one for me. Sadly, it's only got worse since. Looking at this list is like re-living trauma. 39 stories and I like 3 (Vincent, Amy's Choice & Doctor's Wife). It strikes me that Moffat is a great ideas man who lacks discipline and self-control. RTD has overall great vision, but is a bit of a hack when it comes to writing individual episodes and didn't really give us a great story until his 4th year on the job. Imagine, if RTD was the producer and Moffat his script editor? Working together, these two could have tempered each others worse traits... but unfortunately, we get "showrunners" - and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Good list, I agree with the top six, but not necessarily in that order. Human Nature is top for me. Also, I would class Utopia as a single story. Just because they both feature the Master and run concurrently - so do Logopolis and Castrovalva. Just a note on Christmas Invasion, you mark it down for not featuring the Doctor much, and I get it, it's Tennent's debut, but it's kind of the point of the story. Seven million humans bought to their knees and the Doctor wakes up, post regeneration and single-handedly beats the Sycorax with ease. It shows how much we need the Doctor and makes this new incarnation look damned heroic, certainly compared to the last Doctor (seriously - how many times did someone else or chance save the day in Ecclestone's run? I think it was every story!).

Season 13 is the pinnacle for me, but agree with the top 3. Key to Time would be lower, as would the infamously bad season 17. But apart from a few other tweaks, that's not a million miles off my list.
