The wonderful thing about ranking articles is that they’re a safe space where everyone feels confident and happy in sharing their favourites without fear of unexamined bilious ejaculations, in the understanding that everyone’s tastes are different, and it’s only Doctor Who for God’s sake. It’s not like someone dies if we don’t like ‘Inferno’.
Similarly, fandom responded to Russell T. Davies’ innovations and expansions to Doctor Who with calm and measured articulations of their likes and dislikes, and no shrill hyperbole written in blinkered rage and 2am on Outpost Gallifrey. This author definitely didn’t.
It wasn’t always going to be this way. Most pitches and attempts at continuing Doctor Who after its 1989 cancellation were aiming for a cult BBC Two or post-watershed BBC One audience because it was considered Science-Fiction first and a family show second,...

Using the new Doctor Who Limited Edition Gift Set, your noble author will make his way through as much of the modern series as he can before the Christmas episode,The Snowmen.
If Lars von Trier had thought of it, it would have been one of the Five Obstructions. Make a Doctor Who episode, but don’t use The Doctor. It rather limits the drama, doesn’t it? far from it, it gives you a chance to do a story about friends and mystery, and…

Pramface is a new 6-part comedy series, about two teenagers trying, and often failing, to come to terms with impending parenthood, coming to BBC Three.
Laura, 18, and Jamie, 16, meet at a sixth form party after completing their respective A-Level and Gcse exams. But little can prepare them for the result of their brief, drunken hook-up.

Scarlett Alice Johnson (represented by United Agents), who played Vicki Fowler in EastEnders back in 2003, stars as Laura Derbyshire, an 18 year old who has everything going for her. After years of conscientious study she excelled in her exams and in a few weeks she’ll be escaping home for university and independence. This is all coming at the right time for Laura,...

Good grief. What have we here? Stories have come and stories have gone, but few have polarised opinion to such an extent as Love And Monsters.
Love And Monsters is what's now known as the Doctor-Lite story of the season, an annual occurrence in the David Tennant years. Because this one was filmed back to back with the Impossible Pit two-parter, The Doctor and Rose only make fleeting cameo appearances. The trick would be re-used with Blink and Turn Left (although Catherine Tate's Donna would carry the action after chilling out in a spa and missing out on the crazy ride to Midnight).
So Love And Monsters is largely known as the Experimental One of NuWho's second season – or more precisely, the Experiment That Failed, since a sizeable number of fans don't like it. The episode's been attacked for a number of reasons: The cartoony humour. The rather inappropriate adult humour at the end.
