This one is quieter, more thoughtful, more about legacy than spectacle, and for me, that works really well...

It is time to give my ranking for every episode of series 9 of Doctor Who. Will there be any surprises? Any dark horses for the title? Or will it obviously be Heaven Sent at the top?

Davros, Daleks, The Fisher King, Time Lords, Ashildr, Zygons, Sandmen, Gallifrey, Confession Dials and a whole lot more...

The Capaldi era was the perfect storm for me. I was older, gone were my days of binge drinking, I was alone, tucked up cosy on autumn and winter evenings. I had an actor I had loved anyway, playing a Doctor who I related to, in stories that I adored. I had gone deep into Doctor Who by this time, I was obsessed!

Boring review ahead warning - I love this episode. I'm not going against the general consensus on this. I'm not going to be the guy that slates it...

Clara Oswald will always be a character that will split the fandom. What I think Clara needs, is a second watch. Not just the odd episode either. Clara Oswin Oswald from Asylum of the Daleks through to Twice Upon a Time...

After a run of some pretty character driven two-parters, Sleep No More arrives as something of an oddity in this ninth series of Doctor Who. It is a single episode, a more standard base under siege episodes complete with corridors to run down...

There's always a lot of chatter that Capaldi is a great Doctor who got shit scripts, and I don't buy that shit for one minute...

Series 9 just keeps delivering, and The Zygon Invasion is yet another strong entry. As is Doctor Who's beautiful way, we have gone from a talking lion-man thing and immortals to a more grounded thriller about war. I love this show so much...

I really loved this series format. Perhaps two-parters with a series-long thread linking them all together could be a way forward for the show now?

After four darker, more intense episodes, The Girl Who Died takes Doctor Who on a detour into something a bit sillier, but even this episode has a darker undercurrent...

Series 9 of Doctor Who is so good, there's a lot of talk about Heaven Sent, but there's some strong stuff that comes before it, and Under the Lake and Before the Flood are very much part of that...

Weirdly, I don’t often travel back to Series 9. Maybe it’s because of the two-parter structure...

Following the intrigue of The Magician’s Apprentice, The Witch’s Familiar delivers more Doctor Who with teeth! It is confident and compelling, and surprisingly full of emotion...

Where is the Doctor? Did he really leave a child to die? Admittedly, that child is an awful person, but still. How is Missy back? And Skaro for that matter? There is a lot to unpack here...

I don’t think you always choose your Doctor. It doesn't have to be your first. Sometimes, your Doctor chooses you. They worm their way into your brain, quietly at first, before they take you over completely...

I love this series, I think it gets a bad wrap. When I was doing this list I felt bad for putting a few near the bottom...

Series 8 of Doctor Who is seriously underrated, and I am going to try and prove that in this review...

Last Christmas is everything I want a Doctor Who Christmas to be. It was clever, emotional, magical, and just a little bit frightening...

Oh yes. Now this is how you end a series. The Series 8 finale is bold, shocking, and soaked in atmosphere...
