This is just an episodes you don't hate list lol

Anything but Jodie really, and that's only because it made an active attempt to destroy canon so I thought I'd repay the favour and wipe it from existence

None of it, sorry. It's all too far removed.

I agree with Iank. None of it. That's okay though. Like I said a DW reboot, remake should and will happen eventually. New Who would have done itself a world of favors if it had been a remake from the start as it was always written that way. Ultimately that doesn't mean it is worse than the original (that's taste) but trying to link it is like trying to link Gary Oldman and Christopher Lee's Dracula's together. It can't happen.

If those are canon, my terrible fan fic I wrote ten years ago should be too.

How was it written that way?

[Monster X]

None.

I guess Manhattan for the shits and giggles. I really like Power, but I'd rather not make anything from that era canon in my eyes. I've gone off the whole modern era actually. Despite the odd episode, NuWho makes me feel cold. The classic series was intended for a different audience altogether. The new series is a completely different show for a completely different audience which just happens to share the same premise and title. Holmes geared Doctor Who towards the intelligent fourteen year old, but RTD and Moffat have geared it towards a different kind of person.

They're all canon, whether or not they're all part of the same timestream though is debatable after that Seventh Doctor Tale From The TARDIS.
