== New Who rankings (2005-2023) == | |||
=== Series === | |||
The series are ranked according to their individual episodes and story quality. However, this goes beyond which ones simply have the most episodes in Tier 1 and Tier 2. The series each have their own arcs in terms of plot and character. Therefore, the series arcs and how the characters (principally the Doctor and their companions) grow or develop throughout also plays a significant part in how these series rank up. Furthermore, consistency within the series' episodes does play a factor, with series that contain more competently written and executed stories naturally outperforming series that lack these vital qualities. | |||
As a final caveat, while some series lower in the list could be judged at face value as being bad for being placed so low, this is not an honest reflection of their quality. Every series has at least one episode in Tier 2 and every series with numerous episodes in Tier 1 and Tier 2 still have some low quality episodes placed in either Tier 4 and 5 and even then these episodes are a rarity. As such, every series has something worth watching within it. | |||

Hey there. I'm Snivystorm. (^_^)
I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who and I have been watching it ever since it re aired in 2005. I have loads of knowledge of Doctor Who mainly from 2005 onwards and its spin offs Torchwood and SJA. You can usually find me hanging around The Last of Us Wiki doing my thing there.
871,000 + 873,000 + 916,000, 920,000, 989,000, 1,042,000, 1,876,000 <----- the seven times I got lucky.
I hope I can be a big help to the wiki. Remember: no spoilers... shhhh.
Thanks for reading. :D If you want, check out my rankings of all the NewWho series and my personal favourite quotes below!
New Who rankings (2005-2023)[[edit] | [edit source]]
Series[[edit] | [edit source]]
The series are ranked according to their individual episodes and story quality. However, this goes beyond which ones simply have the most episodes in Tier 1 and Tier 2. The series each have their own arcs in terms of plot and character. Therefore, the series arcs and how the characters (principally the Doctor and their companions) grow or develop throughout also plays a significant part in how these series rank up. Furthermore, consistency within the series' episodes does play a factor, with series that contain more competently written and executed stories naturally outperforming series that lack these vital qualities.
As a final caveat, while some series lower in the list could be judged at face value as being bad for being placed so low, this is not an honest reflection of their quality. Every series has at least one episode in Tier 2 and every series with numerous episodes in Tier 1 and Tier 2 still have some low quality episodes placed in either Tier 4 and 5 and even then these episodes are a rarity. As such, every series has something worth watching within it.

Some people live more in 10 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters. It's the person
Books. The greatest weapons in the universe
I do what I do because it's right, because it's decent...Where I stand is where I fall
Instinct is a lie told by a fearful body hoping to be wrong...You blind yourself
We are a generation of men raised by women. We work jobs we hate to buy [stuff] we don't need. Our 'Great Depression' is our lives.
The greatest sin of the 21st century is that we can talk to someone five thousand miles away but don't say hello to the person stood right beside us.
War is not murder, it is suicide
Never complain. Never explain.
One thing is certain. When you are in pain, there is no true desire for it to be worse, only for it to end.
When you can do the things that I can, but you don't and then the bad things happen...they happen because of you.
