What's All This About?

I, like many British nerds, love Doctor Who. From Hartnell to Whittaker and all in between, it's probably my favourite show. I'm currently in the process of rewatching the whole show from the start, usually with my 3 year old daughter who is fascinated by the show (and absolutely loves the Daleks) and had been live tweeting the venture until, unfortunately, I had to delete my account due to bullying and harassment (unrelated to Who I hasten to add).

Still wanting an outlet for my Who related opinions I thought I might as well start another Who blog. I'll likely be posting rankings of story by Doctor. 

Just a caveat, for early Doctors there will be a few stories I haven't included. I have only watched stories that footage exists for. No recons, no audios. 

Will kick off back here with my ranking of Hartnell stories soon. I hope you enjoy.

The Time Meddler- Season 2 Clever, funny and full of surprises, The Time Meddler is the shows first historical to include Sci fi elements, dropping its twists and mystery early but then teasing...
