10 Best Doctor Who Episodes According To YOU

[@RosLanta]

The Girl in the Fireplace ranking so high isn't remotely surprising to me - it's one of my all-time favourite episodes. Exquisitely written and acted.

[@rjjcms1]

It's the only episode in this list that I think I've seen.

[@itsblackseph]

Vincent and The Doctor gave me and my wife the music we walked back down the aisle to at the end of our wedding ceremony, it makes me tear up everytime I hear it

[@OperationBlueprint]

So just to be clear, Blink and Heaven Sent are the best. You can't just exclude them, if they are the best then they are the best 🤣

[@jessehammer123]

Agreed. It seems like they just wanted to remove Moffat stuff in order not to seem biased towards him (even though he totally deserves it and so it winds up being biased *against* him) because the list already has five Moffat-written episodes.

[@grace-the-poet]

Objectively Heaven Sent is the best and they know it!😂

[@abenerice]

Not only that, but also 5 of the episodes in this top 10 are Moffat anyways. Day of the doctor, angels take manhattan, name of the doctor, girl in the fireplace, good man goes to war... So 7 of the 12 best, including the top 5, are Moffat. Yep, there is an issue about the bias here...

[@robsquared2]

Yep

[@vidhikavidhaan]

One day I was randomly scrolling KZbin and stumbled upon this scene from doctor who where Doctor takes Vincent to his Paris Gallery. I had no idea what this show was but that 2 minutes clip of Vincent crying seeing people loving his work made me watch the whole show. I am a die hard fan of this show now.

[@renateverhoeven5679]

Even thinking of that scene makes me tear up, fantastic!

[@Th3Rad10D3m0m]

I was drawn in by the mtg and Doctor who crossover set, specifically because of the flood, because I was curious what that was about, so I looked it up on KZbin, and then got drawn in by the waters of mars

[@islandmat]

I'm shocked i'm not seeing Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead more here. Brilliant visuals, and the beginning of River Song as a character prewriting over 5 seasons of her character and the adventures she would go on (mentioning certain things in her diary that then became episodes) to eventually finally come full circle to her final night on Darillium 2 doctors later with Capaldi's second season where the Doctor does just as she said he did all those years ago. Like cmon, it may be the greatest piece of writing in not only who but in any series. So complex and to have actually been followed through.

[@pollyalexander9188]

Well they did say they weren't including 2 parters so these 2 were really in the running

[@islandmat]

​@pollyalexander9188 Oh I must have missed that, and it would clearly make sense seeing as Heaven Sent wasn't on the list.

[@Magrijack]

A percentage of people didn’t like the Vashta Nerada (not including myself) since they were basically low-budget, one-off villains. I understand the rational, they were basically just afraid of shadows, but I personally think the atmosphere and story sold them as antagonists anyway. And “Hey! Who turned out the lights?” will always bring chills to my spine.

[@islandmat]

@@Magrijack I can almost agree, while I'd still say it was one of the better villains of the time period, it was definitely mostly just the writing that made it for me. Like River mentioning the Byzantium almost right away, which would be their next (onscreen) adventure together with the return of the weeping angels. It's the episode(s) that got better season after season.

[@foolonthehill8410]

I really hope Moffat comes back to Doctor Who at least as a guest writer. The fact that the two episodes that were disqualified because of how good they are both being Moffat episodes says a lot. And even with his two most popular episodes being disqualified, the majority of episodes on this list are still his anyway.

[@NottherealLucifer]

They were disqualified because they're on every list, ever. It's like making best gaming lists, you'd get tired of putting Ocarina of Time and Half-Life 2 on every single video where they fit, so you'd start leaving them out.

[@WhoCulture]

@@NottherealLucifer Basically this - they weren't disqualified because of how good they are, they were disqualified to make the list more interesting! Another example would be ranking the best comic-book movies, you already know before starting that The Dark Knight is going to be #1.

[@drewcampbell8555]

A word here for Tony Curran as Vincent. Deserves more credit for an absolutely outstanding performance that gives the piece its heart. For my money the finest guest appearance of NuWho and certainly the best portrayal of Van Gogh I've ever seen on screen.

[@princembat]

midnight is my absolute favorite, though it also reaches so high not only based on its own successes, but the fact that i related to it in an admittedly very abstract way. also, i have to say it, i never cared for blink. the weeping angels are a cool concept, but i really didnt care for their actual portrayal.

Barring Heaven Sent and Blink is the absolute highest praise you could possibly give to Moffat. Two episodes so great that including them in the pool would make the list boringly predictable.

[@Flytrap]

"I like it when you call me...sexy." One of my favorite of all times.

[@Kissfan96dr]

"You never take me where I want to go!" "No...but I always took you where you needed to go." I think this is why so many times the Doctor is saved from death by a coincidence moment. When you see all of time, you know exactly where to land and at what time, for events to happen as they do. Bottomline, it's not the Doctor that's saving the universe...it's the Tardis. She's the main character. Doctor is just her agent.

A beautifully lyrical expression of The Starry Night : Try to see what I see. We’re so lucky we’re still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lights are blue. And blue in through the blueness, and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air… and then shining. Burning, bursting through! The stars, can you see how they roll their light? Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes. Nothing’s quite as wonderful as things he saw.

[@friendlyotaku9525]

No Eccleston, Capaldi (No Heaven Sent?!!) or Jodie stories on this list?! Genuinely baffled.

[@ZakhadWOW]

Eccleston is a fine actor - see his THOR DARK WORLD villain role; but he torpedoed his own Who legacy by being very vocal about hating things and wanting to leave.. and then not showing a great deal of respect for the actors who followed him. He has a giant mountain to climb to get back to even middle ground, opinionwise.

[@davidjames1389]

I think Jodi had a lot of underrated episodes, but there's nothing I would put in a Top 10.

[@torinju]

OK, am I the only person in the world that actually loved "Love and Monsters"? To me, it's pretty great. 1) It shows the effect of the Doctor on the people that he comes in contact with. It acknowledges that when the Doctor shows up, it usually means your life is about to rapidly turn to caca (Really, that is true for almost any fiction, no point in a story where nothing bad happens to anyone. But I loved that the show pointed out this fact) Especially since Doctor Who often doesn't save everyone, which is another thing I like about the show. It gives the show some stakes. 2) The monster is goofy and was designed by a child. Doctor Who is chock full of goofy monsters and for me that is part of the charm. And Doctor Who was always intended to be a children's show. It belongs to them. The writer's have been good about including much that is enjoyable to me as an adult, but the show belongs to the kids. 3) I think the episode is a metaphor for fandom, especially on-line fandom. I have often seen it happen. Someone starts a little community focused around some particular subject. At first they just talk about the subject, but eventually the people get to know each other and relationships form and eventually its more of a social group than a discussion about the subject. And everyone is having a good time. Then someone comes in and rants about how nobody is talking about the subject anymore and people give in because, well, it IS a forum about whatever. But it stops being fun and people start to disappear without a trace. 4) It featured ELO. Now, I liked ELO as a kid, but I got older and became far too sophisticated to like ELO anymore. But this episode convinced me to say, screw being so above it all, just enjoy what you like. It's not a contest. So I like ELO again. 5) The infamous paving stone girl. Yes, to suddenly find myself as nothing but a full conscious face on a piece of concrete would be a horrific nightmare. But I don't think she is human anymore, she is a human-paving stone hybrid and apparently the state feels natural to her. She explicitly states so. So, in a sense, she is one of the most alien beings on the show, whose view on the world we cannot hope to understand (although, apparently, she can still love). But even if we can't understand her, we can still accept her, which I think is a pretty good lesson for anyone (particularly in America right now). As far as their 'bit of a love life', well, it wouldn't be my cup of tea by any means, they are both consenting adults capable of giving consent, so whatever. Another good lesson I think, (particularly in America right now). 6) It's funny. OK, I await your universal condemnation.

[@veevs]

I like it. I have spoken.

[@ImmortalBroken]

I like it too! The lead actor was really charming. And my favorite part of the episode is Rose, even though she's barely in it. At the end, when she goes after the guy, saying "You hurt my mum!", but as soon as she sees how sad he is, she holds and comforts him. It really shows how compassionate she was.

[@torinju]

[@axlefoley6330]

Vincent and the Doctor is a well deserved number one, I have seen the episode several times but it never fails to get a reaction from me, I don’t know if it’s because I feel I can relate to Van Gough (as a character) or if it’s the performance but I always shed a tear during the reveal to Vincent that his work wasn’t for nothing and that even though his art isn’t appreciated in his own time, he eventually becomes one of the most respected and celebrated artists to have lived, if only the real Van Gough could of had that.

[@kendrathompson5207]

My favourite Dr Who is Family of Blood, but it has two parts. I also liked the one where Derek Jacobi and John Simms are the Master. That might even be a three part.

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi's comic chops were front and centre, and the whole episode is a blast from start to finish, all while developing Clara & Danny's sweet (but doomed) relationship. And 12's "You've made a boyfriend error!" line manages to be both hilarious and heartbreaking in the sane breath.

[@jd_music23]

Ah. I always feel mixed about Vincent and the Doctor. I think it's an episode of great moments. Lovely character beats, especially in exploring amy's character and Vincent's and the final 10 mins is just peak doctor who; so emotional in a way that only this show could be and makes me cry. Also good (though i would argue under-developed) depiction of mental health though still great to see doctor who explore it. But the rest of the episode is kind of... meh. It feels rushed and prosaic almost and like they just want to get to the next bit they actually liked writing? Like the other episodes like Turn Left and Midnight and the Obvious Moffat ones are just masterpieces, every moment is in there for a reason and adds to the story. Where as Vincent and the doctor feels like you could just have the scenes or moments that everyone loves and take out the rest and you wouldn't be missing anything? Just my opinions OBVIOUSLY 😬 You can love it as an episode, that's fine and I definitely appreciate what it does and still enjoy it and the rest of the episode could be just a taste thing for me. I'm just surprised to see it top a "best episode" list when it, in my mind, is more of "best moment" list contender. (But like i say, that's just me and interested to know if people agree or disagree)

Angels Take Manhattan is an extremely average episode that is quite literally only remembered for its final scene (and the preceding rooftop plummet.)

I wish Moffat had come back instead of Russell T. Especially for the 60th. At least Moffat's stories aren't all stuck on earth. For the last 4 episodes we have with Russell T Davies, 3 of them are on earth. Again. What a surprise. Moffat's era was the best IMO. I was also shocked that no Peter Capaldi episodes were in that list. A highly underrated Doctor.

[@Masta_Diaz]

Definitely funny and satisfying to see that all fans agree with "Blink" and "Heaven Sent" being the best. I also agree with the entire list - Such brutal episodes and strong storylines. However, I will always be sad to see that Capaldi wasn't valued enough with his representation and his storylines. "Listen", "Deep Breath", "The Mummy of Orient Express", "Husbands Of River Song" and even arguable "Hell Bent" are masterpieces. PS. Vincent and The Doctor gets me every time. Definitely top 3 in my list.

[@mariamjimsheleishvili3080]

Every episode that features River Song, is my favorite ❤

[@bazzer124]

Pretty much agree with all the choices. To me, "The Waters of Mars" is the most poignant episode in the NuWho run, slapping 10 roundly in the face for his god complex and forgetting who the Doctor is. "Hell Bent," though not included because of two parts, remains my favorite NuWho episode. With a great script in hand, Capaldi simply kills it. Cheers....

I think waters of Mars might be the best episode. Absolutely love turn left, midnight, the stolen earth etc

[@danielwilliamson6180]

The Girl in the Fireplace is my favourite episode of New Who. A Good Man Goes to War is my 2nd favourite. Girl in the Fireplace was a brilliant episode. Good Man Goes to War was epic. Angels Take Manhattan really broke me. 👼🏻 👩‍🦰 ⛪ 😭 💔

[@denniscollin5209]

What about Classic Who? Pyramids of Mars, Tomb of the Cybermen, Inferno?? etc. Should be clear that this is just the new Who era post 2005. FWIW Blink is fantastic too

[@MrCarrera28]

Day of the Doctor is the episode that comes closet to Genesis of the Daleks at the Zenith of the Whoniverse.

[@SK-gs8vs]

With very few exceptions, YES! I agree with almost all of them! And Vincent as number one... Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@ruekennedy3316]

You know that #1 was the best episode because I got choked up just seeing it at the #1 spot. Easily the best Doctor Who episode ever. I'm also very true to the TARDIS being my favorite character so I'm so glad I got to see the episode she turns human come in on this list. She's my favorite reoccurring character and Vincent is my favorite character ever.

[@twistedrealitys742]

The girl in the fireplace isnt a favourite of mine. However the day of the doctor is one of my absolute favourites.

[@Kittness1981]

The Day of The Doctor is my #1 favorite , #2 for me is The 11th Hour, #3 Vincent & The Doctor

[@kyskys.]

no dalek episodes is kind of crazy. i felt like the daleks brought out the best acting of anyone who was involved with them especially the doctor. seeing the doctor tap into his not so poppy side is always a joy to see.

[@DittoGTI]

The Stolen Earth and Journeys End should've been on this list. That would've been the Dalek story

[@kyskys.]

vincent and the doctor is so damn good. i js finished watching it. seeing vincent cry of joy hit me hard

[@iainmcculloch5807]

How is the rating for Vincent and the Doctor only 9.3/10?

[@ZakhadWOW]

because as these comments show, there's that element of viewers WITH NO SOUL APPARENTLY who drag the rating down.

[@justtwobrotherspokemon]

Suprise suprise Tenant and Smith dominate this list. Tenant gets his credit but dont feel smith does, unfortunately. Clara DEFINITELY deserves wayyyy more credit. They make modern doctor who what it is

[@christianschmitt2409]

Episodes that made me cry: - Vincent and the Doctor - The Rings of Akhaten

[@funsickus]

It's sad that when I watched it I actually was to young to really understand Midnight so I was never really a fan of it. Should definately give it a rewatch some time.

[@aliceinwonderland8178]

honestly blink is so good i still get excited every time i watch it

[@DittoGTI]

You should have made this a Top 12 and kept Blink and Heaven Sent

[@danielweinstein7080]

"Vincent and the Doctor" was the best, even beyond Blink or Heaven sent

[@hothemeep1219]

Matt Smith is dominating this list. Truly one of the best eras

[@RealCoolstriker64]

I really did not care for "the name of the doctor" outside of the surprise at the end. Shit, I forgot about the "I think I've been murdered." bit. That was really good.

[@jackthefrog80085]

The girl in the fireplace and heaven sent are my two favourite episodes ever.

[@angusmacdonald7187]

I'm an outlier. I'm not really a fan of Matt Smith's Doctor. Having said that, I agree that Vincent is about is good as it gets with Doctor Who. I love this episode; the first time I watched it, it had me in tears.

[@doctorwhat779]

3:48 I can't believe people think statue of liberty is an angel is a good idea. Like giant statue walked into city and nobody didn't look at it? seriously?

[@marshy2385]

Face the raven, Hells bent & heaven sent are without question the best 3 episodes of Who. Incredible

[@kryten1016]

The doctor who fandom did me proud today

[@frankharr9466]

Good to know.

[@chriscoombes6751]

Ok: I feel somewhat surprised here - NOTHING from Eccleston or Capaldi's stints as the Doc, seriously?? Admittedly I know this is the general publics list & I have some bias as Capaldi happens to be my favorite New Who Doctor, & I won't deny that Midnight & Vincent and the Doctor are among my personal favorite episodes - But for me, from Eccleston's time in the Tardis - 'Dalek' & 'The Empty Child' would be in any top ten, & as for Capaldi's run: as he's been my Dr, I could pick many - but like many I'd pick 'Heaven Scent' also 'The Zygon Inversion' just for THAT speech & also 'Listen' (just thought that one was all-round brilliant!). Realize that some may have been 'filtered out' what with WhoCulture having already done their own top 10, but still - the lack of either saddens!

[@veggiet2009]

So if you take out hell bent and blink, this really is the "3rd through 12th" favourite episode. But then you also took out two parters and hell bent is technically a part of a trilogy or two parter. So would you have taken that out anyway? Making the list 2 through 11? Anyway I think Midnight should have been #2 after Day of the Doctor

[@angrymac]

cant watch the angels take Manhattan again 2x and I was so sad. Its a top 10 based on the emotion it evoked
