This was a hell of a series of Doctor Who, so this may be tricky and it may cause a few controversial placings, but here are the series 4 episode rankings:
This is an easy one for me. The weakest episode by far in an otherwise stunning series. Click bait title and just a bit meh! Martha just didn't feel like Martha either, which is a massive downer for me.
I enjoyed these more than I thought I would. Was fun seeing UNIT, and always a pleasure to see the Noble's.
As above really, I usually rank the first parts ahead of the second, I enjoy a cliffhanger. It probably shows the strength of this series that these are pretty good but ranked so low.
Some iconic moments but not too much at stake. Cute monsters that don't offer a lot. Catherine Tate is amazing, and this is the beginning of a beautiful TARDIS team. A decent start.
A bold, loud Christmas special, RTD throwing the kitchen sink at us. It looked amazing, and Kylie was a surprisingly good guest. Her death is laughable though.
Capaldi and Gillan. Yes please! Catherine Tate showed she wasn't just in the show for a bit of comic relief and shouting. I enjoy seeing the Doctor cause things from our history, this is always a bonus point from me.
I mean this is a standard episode I grant you. Base under siege and all that jazz. This series is so good though, and this episode is proof of that. In other series this may have been a middling affair, but it is really quite brilliant. Some amazing lines in this as well - most memorably - who made your clothes.
Another episode that proves how good this series is. Slap bang in the middle of the series is where we usually find a weaker episode or two - especially when the tone changes. This is a fun adventure which shows off David and Catherine's comedy abilities.
I know, it will probably top a lot of peoples list, but this series is so strong. I think this being in the middle proves that. It is an amazing episode. David Tennant is superb in this!
Hey, who turned out the lights? Donna Noble has left the library. Donna Noble has been saved. Am I the only one who enjoys a cliffhanger with repeating sentences? Each time it gets spoken I get more excited.
Avengers assemble before the Avengers assembled!! A whole week of waiting and it was a trick!! Damn you RTD! The Stolen Earth was an amazing set up to this episode, I don't think this was quite as good, but it was thrilling seeing everyone together. The Doctor and Davros moments were epic. Why does Martha always have the shit jobs though?!
God this was good. Seeing the Doctor and River dynamic expand. Donna in the computer, the children disappearing, a romance that still hit home even though Lee barely says a word, River's speech, the Doctor saving her...! An episode spend the whole time grinning and kicking your feet as you watch it.
Epic!!!!! Nothing more to add!
Maybe a controversial one? I can't help it, Catherine Tate puts in such a good performance, I love seeing how the world copes (or doesn't cope) without the Doctor. Bernard Cribbins and Jacqueline King are magnificent also. Oh and the ending is one that makes me jump out of my seat!!!
