Doctor Who Magazine 413 has published a reader poll ranking Doctor Who episodes. The last time this was done was in 1998, well before the series made its triumphant return to our screens. Back then, the Tom Baker classic Genesis of the Daleks took the top spot… but what has 11 years done to public opinion?
Over a decade later, and over 4 new series of the revamped show, Classic Who still reigns as king (though dominates the low end, too) with Peter Davison’s swan song Caves of Androzani taking top prize. After all, who can blame the fans for voting it the best ever? Robert Holmes. Graeme Harper. Sharaz Jek. Stotzie. Morgus. The Magma Beast. Peri’s cleavage overshadowing the regeneration sequence. What’s not to love about it?
The Top 10 and Bottom 10 are as follow:
001. The Caves of Androzani
002. Blink
003. Genesis of the Daleks
004. The Talons of Weng-Chiang
