1. Wild Blue Yonder
2. The Devil's Chord (mainly for Jinkx)
3. The Giggle
4. The Church on Ruby Road
5. Space Babies
6. Boom
7. The Star Beast
WBY was the best by far because it was free of the burden of diversity hires and their terrible acting

I rate them equally.
The rank of "never bloody watching".

I rate them 3 kidney stones, and a prostate exam carried out by Mickey Mouse.

Updated list:
1. 73 Yards
2. Wild Blue Yonder
3. The Devil's Chord
4. The Giggle
5. The Church on Ruby Road
6. Space Babies
7. Boom
8. The Star Beast
73 Yards did something totally unique for Doctor Who over the past 6 years: it actually made me think. And on an episodic basis too, not just in terms of the season arc. By far the best of the new lot.

To be honest they all blend into one meaningless sea of mediocre, badly thought out, self indulgent wank from hacks who ran out of ideas 15 years ago.

For me the ones with dance routines and panto characters get fast-tracked to the bottom tier, but yes they're all rubbish in different ways.

1. The Legend of Ruby Sunday
2. 73 Yards
3. The Giggle
4. The Devil's Chord
5. Wild Blue Yonder
6. Church on Ruby Road
7. Dot and Bubble
8. The Star Beast
9. Rogue
10. Boom
11. Space Babies
First four I'd say are enjoyable and watchable. 5-8 are below average and 9-11 are clangers. Boom is the usual Moffat tripe, the kind he's been doing since the new series started. After Christmas I hope decides to move on from the show.

I've heard good things about 73 Yards, but Church just killed my enthusiasm so totally that I haven't bothered.

1. Wild Blue Yonder 2. The Star Beast 3. The Giggle 4. The Church on Ruby Road I've heard good things about 73 Yards, but Church just killed my enthusiasm so totally that I haven't bothered. The Giggle is my favourite of those four. I would have preferred the whole episode to be in the Toymaker's domain rather than have it be such a small part of the episode. They must think that UNIT operations room set is really impressive because more than half of the episode takes place in there. I'm mixed on the other two specials. Wild Blue Yonder is a fine mid series episode, but it fails as a "special." I mean, aren't specials supposed to be, erm, special? The Star Beast looks good and I always like when a new era starts, but the pandering gets a bit silly by the end. I own it and I might give it another watch nearer the anniversary date. |

Some people see The Giggle as a sort of ending to the series. Ncuti is off doing his own thing but seeing Tennant chilling out with Donna and her family feels like the show's denouement, for NuWho at least. I don't know why they couldn't have put more effort into the three specials and have them round off the entire show. More than likely the ending will be the Doctor and Rogue holding hands in front of a supernova or something.
