10 Greatest Modern Doctor Who Episodes

[@SimonWitt]

Human Nature/Family of Blood will be up there at the top of my list, Tenant was absolutely superb in it as a 'non-Doctor' character but also showing that he can be vengeful when someone really crossed him.

[@darkshibe2267]

For me it was more about the acting of the family themselves. That 'something's very not right about them.' vibe. Good choice.

[@beezig]

Heaven Sent is absolutely the best episode since Doctor Who returned. Peter Capaldi shows us why he may be the best Actor to have been The Doctor, stunning TV.

[@harrybarker3441]

Doesn’t quite make my top 3 (girl in the fire place, silence in the library and human nature) but it is absolutely incredible. Best Capaldi episode by far.

[@GhostKingDeAngelo]

Day of the Doctor will always have a special place in my heart, but Heaven Sent was a close second.

[@floatinjellies]

As someone who fell off massively in the Capaldi era- I think that Heaven Sent is a good episode for the actor- but it just lacks that special sauce for what makes Doctor Who so appealing, to me personally. I tried watching it again after finding out how acclaimed it was, and I could barely finish it. All the episodes/stories in this list have that sauce- with regards to watchability- that makes them perfect introductions to this show, which Heaven Sent lacks imo

[@Ry64-18]

Couldn’t agree more my friend 🙏🙏

[@emiliovargas7673]

It's too bad the Capaldi series was fouled with the Woke-Dviersy Mob's ticking of their diversity 'boxes" with the abomination of a female Master, "Missy" (refuse to watch any episode with this Woke abomination trashing it). That goes for the last two "Doctors" the Woke creatures, that ugly, screeching, manic female "Doctor" (work-check!) and now that laughable gay (woke-check!), black (woke-check!) 14th doctor. They busy taking their woke wrecking ball to this fine series, just like Disney has done to Star Wars and their "woke" Snow White (utter disaster, but hey, the woke crowd doesn't seem to have the chops, the imagination or talent to create their own narratives, and go on the rampage destroying other established, venerable narratives to get "their licks in" ...despicable!)

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

Say what you will about the Moffat Era (I personally am a fan), but the fact that so many of these are his scripts and that five Doctors each have a story of his in this list really does show how well he can write.

[@mattthesilent777RED]

Moffat is a god compared to Chibnall

[@MrJ.Smith1234]

He is a really good writer but l think he was better at writing a story per season like in the RTD era.

[@IreneWY]

He's a great writer, just not a great show runner.

[@StreetNoise]

Moffat episodes are always my favorite

[@garywoolton1875]

about to say the same thing. Moffat has written most of the fan fav episodes

[@kushtakathenomad8385]

River Song gives us that tragic perspective of the doctor that we only really hear about. Her first episode is her death, and every single episode with her after it there's always that lingering thought tickling your head, "I watched you die".

[@bazzer124]

The Waters of Mars is probably the most chilling and poignant of the NuWho episodes. The tragedy of the Doctor's God complex being shattered by Capt Brooke's suicide is grim, stunning and sobering. Heaven Sent remains my favorite. Capaldi is brilliant. Cheers....

[@alyzu4755]

100% agree!

The jodie entry was merely a pity one, i can name at least 20 better doctor who episodes, it was only included cause all the other doctors got an episode here.

[@GranmargYGO]

Dalek a big miss in my book. But the choice is hugely difficult. Human Nature/Family of Blood, Impossible Planet/Satan Pit, Rose, Father's Day, Doomsday, Utopia, Partners in Crime, some other RTD stuff that I think is brilliant

[@purefoldnz3070]

yes! I made the same comment with Human Nature and Family of Blood!

[@wharfey9441]

Utopia is pants imo

[@milosradmilac8911]

Midnight. That episode is easily overlooked and to me had the most impact out of all of them. Veeeeery simple, packed into an almost bottle episode, and it kills it. Plus the Doctor faces something he never did or will understand and looses. Fires of Pompei deserves a mention, while the Journey's end and Stolen Earth are a fantastic sendoff to an era. Turn left is awesome (yes I'm a huge fan of series 4), but Vincent deserves to be in the top 10 for the sake of that scene in the end alone.

[@WhoCulture]

Vincent would be our #11. Brilliant episode.

[@rebeccamcdermott9259]

For me, Midnight is the scariest modern Who episode. Absolutely terrified me. Still find it scary now after god knows how many watches.

[@koralinawho]

I was looking for a comment like this. Midnight is so underrated and overlooked as you said, and I can't understand why. It's probably the most terrifying and shocking episode of NuWho and it's also the best example that the Doctor isn't invencible, that the universe is a really vast and creepy place full of great dangers and that the human nature by itself is, most of the time, what causes our own destruction. It is so simple, yet so meaningful and at the same time mysterious.

Really funny you mention the day of the doctor, because I found myself thinking about it quite recently and remembering how good it was. Not (only) for the great chemistry of 10th and 11th, the fan service and flood of cameos, the production vallue, all that... for me, it's because of what it rooted for the doctor : the fact that each new regeneration is a way to process and cope with guilt. John Hurt was his criminal self that the doctor himself tried to forgot out of shame ; Eccleston was a warrior, lonely and ruthless after the time war ; tennant was the Hero, that tried to embody greatness, to be loved again and make up for his crimes... to the point of turning time lord victorious, doing everything it takes to be the winner, the one that saves the day ; Smith was the runaway, the one who tried to forget about all his dirty deeds by being childish and sweet, hiding a much darker side... i always remember the conflict between 10 ans 11 : 10 is able to count every victim of the time war, while 11 forgot this number, and 10 is horrified of that. It's also why it is so great that it is the episode introducing Capaldi as 12, because much later Moffat made sense of this old face the doctor chose : it's the face of the only person he saved from Pompei, to always remember after all this coping with guilt, that he has to remain a Doctor : someone who SAVES people, and moves onward, instead of lingering on the past. 12 is the doctor of forgiveness : he forgives people because it's the only thing that allows history to move on (for example in his great speech during the Zygon invasion/inversion... very reminescent of Hannah Arendt's theories about rememberance and forgiveness) but also who forgave to himself. People say Capaldi is the grumpy old man but he is so much more than that, and 12 brings a coherence to the whole arc of the doctor in NuWho, that's why he is my favorite.

[@alyzu4755]

"Heaven Sent" is my favorite episode of any TV series. And I'm not exactly young, so I've seen quite a bit. 😊

[@clarissa3173]

I was 11 when the beast below came out and it literally wholly and permanently radicalised me, in just 45 minutes. I questioned the way the world works from a pretty young age, but I remember very clearly the fire fully igniting during this episode. Doctor who taught me so much more about empathy and not turning a blind eye than any Disney, Nickelodeon etc. show ever did.

AKA 10 Times Moffat's Writing Was Pure Brilliance. I'm just going to say it. I love RTD and I'm so glad he's back. But holy moly, Moffat remains probably THE most impactful and amazing Who writers that has eve existed. It's jaw dropping how many episodes of his are regarded as some of the best ever. For good reason! Most wouldn't have won a Hugo award for no reason.

The Girl Who Waited was probably one of the most mature and complex scripts in the entire show's history, and I'm saying this as fan since the early 80s. One of the best aspects of the new show vs. the classic is that they do a lot more interesting things with the time travel themes.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of Fires of Pompeii or Town Called Mercy being in people's top 10

[@silashellebrand462]

One interesting thing I liked about River's introduction is, at first, it kind of feels like we, as an audience, are supposed to know her. The way she was introduced, with her illuminating her helmet, then saying her catchphrase, felt like it was meant to make the audience go, "OMG, she's back!" Except, none of us knew who she was, at the time, almost as if her introduction was placed in the wrong order. Like, how someone would react to Yana, or Missy, revealing they're the Master, if they didn't know who the master was.

[@happychaosofthenorth]

Since Silence in the Library was literally the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw, I never really thought about it that way, as I had no context, but it's actually quite brilliant that she appeared in the 'wrong' order.

[@tommcbride2661]

The Impossible Planet / The Satan pit two parter is my personal favourite. Aside from Blink or any with the weeping angels, it's, in my opinion, the scariest episode we've had in a hot minute. It's got the perfect balance of lovecraftian horror, the typical sci-fi elements but also it's one that really stands out for me that humanises all the characters the best, not just the doctor and the companion in rose but the side characters. It's also imo the one that truly makes you think about how YOU as a viewer would react and act in that situation. Plus the introduction of the ood. Although the line "If I believe in one thing...I believe in her" may be corny as hell. The entire episode is mostly practical. Aside from the black hole and the beast and the glowing eyes of the ood. Everything is practical and it's also just a pretty episode. To say it's in the same season as Love&monsters and a season before the lazarus experiment. It's a testament to how good dr who can be when it's done mostly practical. Anyway, imma shut up rambling. The Impossible planet / The Satan pit imo is top 5 episodes of all time for Dr Who.

World enough and Time is probably my favorite modern ep

Family of Blood and Human Nature need to be on the list.

I never really rated The Girl who Waited. It commits the sin of repeating recently treaded paths that other episodes have been criticised for and it’s one of the episodes where you know exactly where it’s going from the moment the ‘twist’ was revealed. Just like in The Empire of Death you knew no one was going to stay dead, in TGWW you knew the Doctor was never going to save old Amy.
