So many to choose from. The hardest decision was which one to pick as the worst. Coin flip for me between Rose and The Longest Game. Both just struck me as awkward and forced. The first episode I saw was the Dickens episode, so I got hooked before I had to deal with Rose. By then I didn't care; it was Doctor Who, so even the bad episodes were good.

Hate to say it, but Tooth & Claw should also be there. But I guess anyone wanting to vote for it as either best or worst is a) a wronghead and b) can indicate their view in comments.

Aside from the S2 Doctor/Rose love-in I really enjoyed 'Tooth and Claw'.

[surliminal]

actually I wanted to vote for it as worst - dullest anyway.

[iainjclark]

Dear me that's a stark list of mediocrity.

Best is between 'Midnight' and 'Parting of the Ways' for me. Worst is between 'Aliens of London' and 'New Earth'.

[iainjclark]

Checking the way voting is going I can agree with 'End of the World' as a "Best" as well. But 'Bad Wolf'? The one with deadly versions of crap light entertainment shows? That 'Bad Wolf'?

Amusingly, 'Love & Monsters' is proving as divisive as ever.

[grahamsleight]

You could make a case for "Bad Wolf" on the basis of the last ten minutes, especially Eccleston's climactic speech. I think it's outweighed by the parody fluff at the start, but it's not an unimaginable argument to put.

[iainjclark]

Yes, Eccleston's speech was good. I suppose it's getting votes for the same reason as 'Utopia' - that the good bits at the end outweigh the bad bits. But 'Utopia had far more, and better, good bits.

And now 'World War Three' has a "best" vote, an episode about which all I can say is that it wasn't as dreadful as 'Aliens of London'.

And come on, people, was 'Voyage of the Damned' really worse than 'The Runaway Bride'? Was it really? I think 'Bride' must be benefitting from Donna's reconstruction this season.

So long as we understand that 'best' means 'least mediocre'...

To clarify I have long thought the Christmas episode to be utter pap... and I really quite liked the crabs-and-motorway-thingy-one.
