With another Doctor Who series under our belts, let's see how it stacks up to what came before...

Interested to see how you'd rank these - vastly different to ours? Let us know!

Once I heard Ellie’s voice, I knew that S5 and S6 would be ranked high for one reason and one reason alone: River Song. 😉

You will rip series 2 from my cold, dead hands. I love series 2.

[Lia-zwlstzo]

For series 9, I would deem Under the Lake/Before the Flood as a great two-parter! I personally love it and I always watch it every now and then.

I can't believe series 5 is 14 years old. I love the series as its what I grew up on...

[Lia-zwlstzo]

2:59 Ellie! No, never! I love that two-parter! It's one of the few times where we visit a parallel world in Doctor Who! I wish we had more episodes with that topic. Like Doctor Who's equivalent to His Dark Materials where we find ourselves in a world slightly similar yet slightly different to our own!

Should give an honorable mention to the 2009 "Specials" season that closed out David Tennant's run. The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead are a little forgettable, but the Waters of Mars and the End of Time 2-part finale was the perfect send off to arguably the best actor to play the Doctor. Nothing will ever top the emotion of "I don't want to go!"

I decided to gather the average rating for every episode of each series from IMDB and their ranking is as follows
14: series 12 (6.1)
13: series 11 (6.3)
12: flux (6.5)
11: season 1 (7.1)
10: series 8 (7.7)
9: series 10 (7.7)
8: series 7 (7.7)
7: series 2 (7.8)
6: series 1 (7.9)
5: series 9 (8)
4: series 3 (8)
3: series 6 (8)
2: series 5 (8.1)
1: series 4 (8.3)

series 9 was amazing. the two-part episodes were a treat.

[dracrorasco]

Series 1 was campy not childish and the camp worked thank you very much

[Corlwow]

Series 2 is easily in the top 3 series of all time. Our opinions differ on quality of the “meh” episodes. Putting it this low is crazy to me but each to their own.

[JoeSiegler]

12:35 = The Eaters of Light has the novelty of being the only episode of modern Who written by someone who wrote an episode of Classic Who (Rona Munro, Survival).

[vortexalliance]

Nah there's no way you say series 2 and 7 is worse than series 12 and 14, series 2 three 2 parters and series 7 with the ponds alone are better than them

Also doing this list proves how stupid it is calling series 14 season 1.

[HellfireComms]

I agree with the Series 8 comments. Very underrated.

[MatthewVlossak]

I always wish that The Ponds arc ended with The God Complex when The Doctor leaves them with a happy ending to save them. Having said that, I do enjoy the stories in s7a even if they overstayed their welcome. Sometimes I think The Doctor went back to visit them like at the end of The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe and or even the episodes in s7a (just out of order) after the events in The Angels Take Manhattan.

[MatthewVlossak]

Series 5 was simply magical. It’s the best introduction for people to get into DW. Matt Smith was electrifying and brought so much charisma to the character. I’d give anything to go back to is Golden Era of DW.

[MIDZYwhoONCEfoundanNSWERKISSY]

No matter what anyone says, series 4 will always remain my favourite. You just can’t compete with Donna and the doctor.

[RedDevil]

[StephenLeGresley]

For me, I honestly think series 9 and 10 are the best. Peter Capaldi was just amazing as was the final series with Clara and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is for me the best Two-Parter of the entire show. Please let us have Michelle Gomez back. And I think The Husbands of River Song was a true banger.

[EterPuralis]

Series 2 at the bottom? The 10/Rose dynamic was one of the best things about it, and it has RTDs best episodes, what's wrong with you? The only stinker was Love and Monsters, and i honestly don't understand why Fear Her gets so much flack.

And no, who forgets the Cybermen episodes, wtf

You seriously put Series 14 above it, yikes

Edit: The only thing this list got right was putting the 13th doctor at the bottom.
