Season 13 has never really been high on my list. It really should be because there's a lot of gothic horror in there and I love that kind of thing, but apart from the excellent Camfield double there's not an awful lot that I enjoy. Pyramids is OK, but I've never thought it was even close to being one of the best stories. I prefer Season 14.

Caroline Bliss is my favourite Moneypenny.

Nah Naomie Harris. Even though I don't like the Craig movies at all, Harris is not only an amazing actress but jaw droppingly gorgeous too (and really nice. I used to comment on her facebook page before she really hit the big time and she was always so sweet to her fans.)

Her and Samantha Bond I find quite bland myself. Maxwell is obviously the greatest for a number of reasons, but Bliss is the best looking for me and the one I'd much rather date.

Maxwell is the only worthwhile Moneypenny imho. Bliss is too girly, and both Bond and Harris are an attempt to subvert the dynamic when it doesn't have to be.

My unpopular opinion is that Ralph Fiennes is the best M. He has the presence of Bernard Lee, but the fact that he's still in shape makes it more believable that he was once an agent like Bond. I also loved that he refused to let Bond belittle him for making a mistake whilst trying to defend his country.

I love Season 19.

Season 21 is Davison's best season.

Yaz is the most attractive NuWho companion

While the Whittaker era largely sucks, Series 13 (if you're including Eve and Power with Flux) is actually quite enjoyable. Flux is an absolute mess of a story, but quite enjoyable and honestly I appreciate the ambition of the writing. Chibnall isn't a great writer, but he has some good ideas for the series. Time loops with Daleks, Sontarans in the Crimean War.. it's all rather entertaining. Series 11 is still the worst series of the show and from what I have seen from Series 12 it isn't much better, but Series 13 isn't as bad as you would expect.

I enjoy series 12 of Jodie's run quite a bit, Spyfall is a brilliant Master story, Praxeus had a good message to it and some strong performances but was in need of a memorable villain, Haunting of Villa Dio Date gives Jodie a commanding role and a difficult dilemma. Ascension and Timeless Children, seperate from the controversies, is a great Cyberman two-parter. Fugitive of the Judoon isn't a great 13 story and a lot of it just set-up for later shite, and certainly hasn't aged well with Barrowman's inclusion, but it's a great introduction to the Fugitive Doctor and it's just nice to see other Gallifreyans getting involved

I'm afraid I can't take 30 seconds of Jodie's "acting" (and I use the word advisedly) without falling into a catatonic cringe state.

Power of the Doctor shits all over Day of the Doctor. That's the 50th we should have gotten.

Agree, never expected the saviour of the Chibnell era would be Sophie Aldred

Davros should never have lived past Genesis. No one has ever done anything interesting with him afterwards, except maybe for Moffat briefly toying with the idea of him finally being on his deathbed. But that went nowhere.

Same with that statue carry on Moffat kept reviving
