The Peter Capaldi Era has been my personal favourite era of the show, reinvigorating my love for the show after slowly losing my interest towards the end of Matt Smith's era with both Series 6 and 7, as well as helping me at a time when I lost both my grandparents so closely together. Series 8-10 held up on their own thanks to the great characters, the darker edge, more character-based stories, and an arguably more cinematic feel than before and now. But most of all, this was all down to the legendary Peter Capaldi who is my personal favourite Doctor to this day, and I'm still sad that he's gone. I think as time goes on, this era will be looked back on as a misunderstood golden age for the show. Special mention also goes Steven Moffat, who is an underrated talent that has cast excellent Doctors and written so many outstanding stories; from 'Blink' to the 'Silence in the Library' two-parter, 'The Eleventh Hour' to 'Day of the Doctor'. Plus, 'Heaven Sent' is probably my favourite story of the show's history. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his era as showrunner (despite Series 6 and 7, and 'Hell Bent'). Having met both Capaldi and Moffat at a convention, it was clear that these two are awesome people with kindness in their hearts that cared so much about the show they grew up with. My top 12 Twelfth Doctor stories are: 1. Heaven Sent 2. The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar 3. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 4. Twice Upon a Time 5. Face the Raven 6. Mummy on the Orient Express 7. Listen 8. Flatline 9. The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion 10. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 11. Extremis 12. Oxygen
Oh man. That bit where the scientist at CERN was telling Bill and Nardole to pick numbers at random...I guessed one of them at the same time they did and freaked out a little bit.

Twelve is flat out my favourite of the modern Doctors. He won my heart early on, and kept it as he grew. I was upset when I heard Tennant was leaving the role, but I was devastated when I heard Capaldi was leaving. I cosplay a couple of his looks (so far), and despite cosplaying multiple classic and modern Doctors, he's the one I am known for here. He's given me courage, and strength to push back against my anxiety disorders, and do more. All that emotion aside, I am so happy Mummy on the Orient Express is on your list. I adore that episode, even as melodramatic and silly as some people find it. I hope to cosplay that look as well someday.
I am happy that Capaldi era gave us a lot of material to think through and discuss about the Doctor as a character and the show in general. Great video, thank you for your content.
10. Mummy on the Orient Express: An instant classic. 9. Into the Dalek: So much character work that I love, for both the Doctor and the Daleks 8. The Pilot: My favorite introduction of the doctor and a companion, but I do have some issues with the puddle. Still great. 7. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent: While Heaven sent is a good metaphor for grief, Hell Bent’s story and character work elevates this to great. 6. Eaters of Light: Kar is possibly my favorite one-off character of all time 5. Flatline: Two great ideas beautifully meshed together. 4. Last Christmas: Possibly my favorite christmas special ever. 3. Dark Water/Death in Heaven: While part 2 has a lot of nitpicks, it’s still an incredible story. I have never satisfactorily understood why people don’t embrace it more. 2. Sleep No More: Yes, seriously. This just really fits with my personal tastes, and that’s the shortest way I can defend it without sounding arrogant. 1. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls: Yes to everything you said, and more.
I say this every video now but truly, Capaldi was perfect for the role. His portrayal, and everything around him created some brilliant TV and I'll eternally miss him.

Thank you , I have just recently subscribed, so glad i stumbled across the channel, as a long time who fan, since way back as pertwee, I look forward to watching & catching up with all the content
1. *World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls [Twice Upon a Time*- not technically part of the same story but thematically kinda is]- Already said why I loved this. If I had to point to what I think of when I think 'Dr Who', here my finger would point. 2. *Under the Lake/Before the Flood*- heteronormative as it is it’s still an exciting base under siege, taking ideas we’ve seen before but giving them just enough lick and polish. And the emotional cards were hilarious. 3. *Oxygen*- The thing that converted me to a Mathieson fan. Its subject matter has not gotten any less relevant. 4. *Thin Ice*- Pretty much for the reasons you said. Able to take an unflinching look at the past and societal issues whilst still having fun. 5. *Extremis*- I’ll never quite recapture the feeling of watching it for the first time but it holds up pretty well. 6. *Face the Raven/Heaven Sent/Hell Bent*- Sorry Vera, this is all one story to me. I like almost the entire internet have very conflicting thoughts on this trilogy, but there’s plenty of good here, some lessons worth learning and hey, we’re still talking about it, aren’t we? 7. *Smile*- Remember when we mocked the emoji robots in the S10? And when we found out it was the same writer as into the Forest of the Night? How did this end up so bizarrely intriguing? 8. *Mummy on the Orient Express*- A good introduction for any newcomer to what Capaldi is like, shows his abrasiveness while making you understand where he’s coming from. S8 could have started here tbh. 9. *Time Heist*- I think it’s underrated. I like the characters, the monster, the setting, and the reveals. Only problem is I wanted more. 10. *Robot of Sherwood/Return of Doctor Mysterio*- I like these for similar reasons and couldn’t decide between each one. Fluff that manages to make me laugh on occasion.
To be honest? To me? Rory was everything Danny was, done a million times better. He feels (to me) like a pale imitation of something that worked perfectly the first time around

Yess, finally some Dark Water/Death In Heaven appreciation! Its not without its flaws (perhaps the concept is a little too dark for some people when it comes to what people want from Doctor Who, which is valid) but I find it criminally underrated as a whole
I’m not as big as fan of this era as ik others are but here’s my top 10; 10: the zygon invasion/inversion 9: deep breath 8: oxygen 7:flatline 6: under the lake/before the flood 5: listen 4:mummy on the orient express 3: the doctor falls 2: heaven sent 1:world enough and time
I like your list. 😀 My 10 favorite Capaldi episodes, from last to first, are... 10) The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion 9) Twice Upon a Time 8) Thin Ice 7) Flatline 6) The Husbands of River Song 5) The Pilot 4) Deep Breath 3) World Enough & Time/The Doctor Falls 2) Oxygen 1) Heaven Sent
The ending speech before regeneration, is what hits it home for me. I struggle with being to serious and so come off rude and uncaring. On the flip side I'm sometimes so silly that the same thing happens. But that monologue actually instilled in me the you don't have to be nice but always be kind and make amends for mistakes. Carried with me forever in life now because an actor and his performance
10- deep breath 9- listen 8- zygon 2 parter 7-pilot 6-husbands of river rong 5-hell bent 4-Dark Water 2 parter 3- doctor falls 2 parter 2- heaven sent 1- twice upon a time
There are some Doctor Who stories in which the Doctor is interchangeable - any incarnation would have worked just as well. Its very telling that so many stories in this list are _not_ that - they are very specifically 12th stories.
Capaldi is also my favourite doctor and while his stories didn't always live up to his immense talent, I still feel like I enjoy his run very much. My top ten would be: 1. Heaven Sent 2. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 3. Flatline 4. Face the Raven 5. Listen 6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 7. Extremis 8. Mummy on the Orient Express 9. Dark Water/Death in Heaven 10. The Pilot and Last Christmas (TIE)
Lovely to see so such love for the era and the character, in the video and in these comments. I think my top 10 would have to be: 10. In the Forest of the Night 9. Listen 8. The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion 7. Extremis 6. Flatline 5. Oxygen 4. Robot of Sherwood 3. The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar 2.World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 1. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent
So glad that extremis got a mention, it's such a brilliant story, unfortunately it gets dragged down by the rest of it's parts but, standalone, it's an absolutely genius episode of doctor who.
After my recent re-watch of series 8 and 9 and my first time watching series 10, Peter Capaldi is quickly becoming one of my favorite Doctors, if not my favorite. I grew up on David Tennant so he has a soft spot in my heart, and he had some great material, but I think I like the material Peter was given just as much. It just took me some time and getting a bit older to appreciate the ways in which it's different (as I'm 24 now compared to being 19 or so when I first watched s8 and 9). I think my favorite episode (two-parter) of his is actually Dark Water/Death in Heaven, because other than just being creative and enjoyable, those episode are like the culmination of the Twelfth Doctor settling into who he is and getting his confidence back after getting shaken up by the regeneration.
Man, as perfect as Heaven Sent is, (and is my absolute favorite episode of Doctor Who period), i was sure it would be your no. 1. But you make a good point as to why World Enough/Doctor Falls is your favorite Capaldi story. But i have to say that the Zygon speech he gave in series 9 is what made Capaldi my favorite, and a high hurdle any future iteration has to clear to be that good.
Great video! My top 10 is: 1. Heaven Sent 2. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 3. Oxygen 4. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 5. Extremis 6. Twice Upon a Time 7. Mummy on the Orient Express 8. Thin Ice 9. The Husbands of River Song 10. Flatline
For me: 10) The Pilot 09) Oxygen 08) The Husbands of River Song 07) Dark Water/Death in Heaven 06) Listen 05) Twice Upon a Time 04) Extremis 03) The Mummy on the Orient Express 02) World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls 01) Heaven Sent
Fantastic video & ranking! My top 10 is as follows: 10. Listen 9. The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion 8. Dark Water/Death in Heaven 7. The Return of Doctor Mysterio 6. Face the Raven 5. Last Christmas 4. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 3. Heaven Sent 2. Extremis 1. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
10. The Husbands of River Song 9. The Pilot 8. Flatline 7. Mummy on the Orient Express 6. Under the Lake / Before the Flood 5. Hell Bent 4. Heaven Sent 3. World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls 2. The Magician's Apprentice / The Witch's Familiar 1. Extremis
10. Time Heist. We realiseThe Doctor has set it all up, then find he saves his compatriots and is also redeeming the villain. Didn't see that coming. 9. Smile. Keep smiling, keeeep smiling..... 8. Extremis. Loses points for Evil = Ugly, when the set up should dictate the opposite (Axons anyone?). 7. Magicians Apprentice/ Witches Familiar. Very, very funny a lot of the time. Apart from Missy's murders, obviously. 6. Zygon Invasion/Zygon Inversion. Extrapolation of: 'Hatred is always stupid Kindness is always wise' idea. 5. Oxygen. What you said. And making us mourn for bit part characters in the first five minutes. 4. Deep Breath. Fantastic introduction of the latest Doctor, kind despite his self doubt. 3. Twice Upon a Time. Proper goodbyes and a Mission Statement (which should have been taken onboard). 2. Mummy on the Orient Express. More Holmes than Poirot; Doctor risks regeneration to solve the mystery having appeared callous. 1. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent. The first is almost flawless and the second angry and quirky enough to be interesting.
My top 10: capaldi episodes: 1. World enough and time 2. Heaven sent 3. The doctor falls 4. Hell Bent 5. Face the raven 6. Before the flood 7. The girl who died/woman who lived 8. Listen 9. The pilot 10. The husbands of river song
YES! World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is number 1! (Then remembers that Vera changes her mind all the time and will probably put Heaven Sent higher next time she does a list)
My favourite Doctor! This is going to be a tough list to make, but here it goes. 10. Into the Dalek 9. Last Christmas 8. Oxygen 7. Face the Raven 6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 5. Smile 4. World Enough And Time/The Doctor Falls 3. Flatline 2. Extremis 1. Heaven Sent
12th is THE doctor. But Clara fits his character more than Bill in my opinion. And nothing can beat twice upon a time. No big bad, just ending the moffat run in an amazing way
I think Capaldi is my favourite doctor. Its a close call with McGann, Big Finish has been so good to him. Pertwee was my first Doctor so he is coming up on third.
1 The mummy on the Orient express 2 World enough and time/ The doctors falls 3 Oxygen 4Thin ice 5After the flood /Before the flood 6 The husbands of River Song 7 Death in heaven 8 Pilot 9 Flatline 10 Time heist
I used to think I hated Capaldi’s doctor but after watching & loving all of his episodes with Billie I realized I just didn’t like the stories with Clara & this isn’t a sleight against her. I think she is a wonderful actress I just never felt the magic with her & the doctor the way I felt with Billie
Well, change The Pilot with Deep Breath, and I totally agree with you! The 12th Doctor's era was to me very solid. This far, the best era of modern Who.
Definitely appreciate the distinguishing between WEAT/Doctor Falls as a better 12th Doctor episode than Heaven Sent, which is a better episode of Doctor Who. Personally I'd go with this: 1. Heaven Sent (still would rather watch) 2. World Enough and Time/Doctor Falls 3. Mummy on the Orient Express 4. Face the Raven 5. Flatline 6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood 7. Pyramid at the End of the World 8. Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar 9. Zygon Invasion/Inversion 10. The Pilot
I don't miss the sonic screwdriver though...my heart belongs to the Eccleston-Tennant model. Partly because their names sound so good together...I'd probably buy an Eccleston-Tennant model anything.

@@dubbingsync isn't it? Right so any season 12 episodes i should avoid? And watch anyway cause i passionately hate midnight cause its the scariest thing in media and apparently a top 4 new who episode
@@212mochaman Spyfall, Fugitive of the Judoon, The Haunting of Villa, Timeless Children and Revolution of the Daleks are all needed to understand the story, everything else can be skipped if you can't be bothered.
I thought the Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar, and the Zygon Invasion/Inversion were exceptional stories. I did enjoy the Pyramid at the End of the World too.
What I also loved about Thin Ice is that it explored the "black companion in the past" anxieties WAY better than the Doctor's horrible treatment of Martha in the Shakespeare Code as well as the cartoonish space-racist approach to Ryan in Rosa. Still not perfect but it's really sad just how few actually thoughtful and well-written examples of those we get.
@@doctorllama8015 but then why would she check the floor for vibrations if she didn't know it was behind her and if she was just checking incase of something behind her, she should still just look around, it's a lot quicker
@@doctorllama8015 I know ,it is still great but they could of just have the 'ghost' get really close up instead of the vibration check but ur right is is a great scene and it is a great 2 parter.
There’s plenty of reasons the floor could be vibrating, not just that someone is behind her - an underwater current - some technology in the base malfunctioning She checks the floor and I assume she is able to tell that it’s coming from behind her (I can’t remember if she turns around and runs or if Clara saves her)
It's a shame my Sonic's busted. Then again, I lost my TARDIS in the local park, but I've been stranded on earth before. This is but a weekend to a time lord. 😎
I felt that while Capaldi himself had comedic moments a lot of the episodes went too dark for me. The only Capaldi episode as a whole that I really like is Robots of Sherwood.
Capaldi's first series (8) is his best. I hated the rocket Doctor change, and the switch from rocker to the Dracula coat Doctor was random and stupid in the later series. The hybrid RUINED his second series completely.
I'm so here for all the capaldi content, I could argue for days on why I think it's the best era
It's horrible. One word. From a 32 yr old whovian who LOVES hartnell. Clara. She completely fucked up the TRULY 2nd best doctor capaldi

With time, people will begin to see Capaldi as the definitive doctor. He’s just that great.

Under The Lake and Before The Flood are 2 of my most favorite episodes in New Who. Not the most favorite, but 2 of.
Mummy, Oxygen, and the excellent Flatline were all written by Jamie Mathieson.
Peter's tenure was my favourite by far. He brought a classic who feel to the show.

The ending speech before regeneration, is what hits it home for me. I struggle with being to serious and so come off rude and uncaring. On the flip side I'm sometimes so silly that the same thing happens. But that monologue actually instilled in me the you don't have to be nice but always be kind and make amends for mistakes. Carried with me forever in life now because an actor and his performance

There are some Doctor Who stories in which the Doctor is interchangeable - any incarnation would have worked just as well. Its very telling that so many stories in this list are _not_ that - they are very specifically 12th stories.
Capaldi is also my favourite doctor and while his stories didn't always live up to his immense talent, I still feel like I enjoy his run very much. My top ten would be:
1. Heaven Sent
2. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
3. Flatline
4. Face the Raven
5. Listen
6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood
7. Extremis
8. Mummy on the Orient Express
9. Dark Water/Death in Heaven
10. The Pilot and Last Christmas (TIE)
I loooove Under the Lake
It’s a really great pair of episodes - such a clever story and excellent cast of supporting characters.
I love Capaldi and Clara and their arc in series 8 is my favourite of any doctor/companion evolution.
Lovely to see so such love for the era and the character, in the video and in these comments. I think my top 10 would have to be:
10. In the Forest of the Night
9. Listen
8. The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion
7. Extremis
6. Flatline
5. Oxygen
4. Robot of Sherwood
3. The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar
2.World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
1. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent
So glad that extremis got a mention, it's such a brilliant story, unfortunately it gets dragged down by the rest of it's parts but, standalone, it's an absolutely genius episode of doctor who.
After my recent re-watch of series 8 and 9 and my first time watching series 10, Peter Capaldi is quickly becoming one of my favorite Doctors, if not my favorite. I grew up on David Tennant so he has a soft spot in my heart, and he had some great material, but I think I like the material Peter was given just as much. It just took me some time and getting a bit older to appreciate the ways in which it's different (as I'm 24 now compared to being 19 or so when I first watched s8 and 9). I think my favorite episode (two-parter) of his is actually Dark Water/Death in Heaven, because other than just being creative and enjoyable, those episode are like the culmination of the Twelfth Doctor settling into who he is and getting his confidence back after getting shaken up by the regeneration.
I’m so happy to see I’m not alone in my adoration of the 12th doctor.
Man, as perfect as Heaven Sent is, (and is my absolute favorite episode of Doctor Who period), i was sure it would be your no. 1. But you make a good point as to why World Enough/Doctor Falls is your favorite Capaldi story. But i have to say that the Zygon speech he gave in series 9 is what made Capaldi my favorite, and a high hurdle any future iteration has to clear to be that good.
Great video! My top 10 is:
1. Heaven Sent
2. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
3. Oxygen
4. Under the Lake/Before the Flood
5. Extremis
6. Twice Upon a Time
7. Mummy on the Orient Express
8. Thin Ice
9. The Husbands of River Song
10. Flatline
The 12th doctor is my doctor.
Mine too!
For me:
10) The Pilot
09) Oxygen
08) The Husbands of River Song
07) Dark Water/Death in Heaven
06) Listen
05) Twice Upon a Time
04) Extremis
03) The Mummy on the Orient Express

6. Face the Raven
5. Last Christmas

Peter Capaldi, Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy will always be my favourite three doctors :) comment on this with your top 3!
Tom Baker-Peter Capaldi (how I feel at the moemnt decides who is 1 and who is 1 LOL, Christopher Eccleston and John Pertwee.
Peter capaldi
Patrick troughton
Matt Smith
Peter Capaldi, Sylvester McCoy, & Patrick Troughton
I have a 12th Doctor tattoo on my left arm. Capaldi is my favorite.
Such an underrated Doctor! He has some genuinely great episodes. My personal favorite is Heaven Sent.
10. The Husbands of River Song
9. The Pilot
8. Flatline
7. Mummy on the Orient Express
6. Under the Lake / Before the Flood
5. Hell Bent
4. Heaven Sent
3. World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls
2. The Magician's Apprentice / The Witch's Familiar
1. Extremis
10. Time Heist. We realiseThe Doctor has set it all up, then find he saves his compatriots and is also redeeming the villain.
Didn't see that coming.
9. Smile. Keep smiling, keeeep smiling.....
8. Extremis. Loses points for Evil = Ugly, when the set up should dictate the opposite (Axons anyone?).
7. Magicians Apprentice/ Witches Familiar. Very, very funny a lot of the time. Apart from Missy's murders, obviously.
6. Zygon Invasion/Zygon Inversion. Extrapolation of: 'Hatred is always stupid Kindness is always wise' idea.
5. Oxygen. What you said. And making us mourn for bit part characters in the first five minutes.
4. Deep Breath. Fantastic introduction of the latest Doctor, kind despite his self doubt.
3. Twice Upon a Time. Proper goodbyes and a Mission Statement (which should have been taken onboard).
2. Mummy on the Orient Express. More Holmes than Poirot; Doctor risks regeneration to solve the mystery having appeared callous.
1. Heaven Sent/Hell Bent. The first is almost flawless and the second angry and quirky enough to be interesting.
Keep the Capaldi content coming!!
I can listen you talk about capaldi all day
The speech in The Doctor Falls is one of the best speech in the series and I use it as a guide on how to live my life.
Love this ranking!
My top 10: capaldi episodes:
1. World enough and time
2. Heaven sent
3. The doctor falls
4. Hell Bent
5. Face the raven
6. Before the flood
7. The girl who died/woman who lived
8. Listen
9. The pilot
10. The husbands of river song
YES! World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is number 1!
(Then remembers that Vera changes her mind all the time and will probably put Heaven Sent higher next time she does a list)
Curious what your opinion is on the cyberbrig
Not sure if you’ve done it yet. But would love to see a top 10 list for Moffat era episodes (I.e. Smith and Capaldi)
My favourite Doctor! This is going to be a tough list to make, but here it goes.
10. Into the Dalek
9. Last Christmas
8. Oxygen
7. Face the Raven
6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood
5. Smile
4. World Enough And Time/The Doctor Falls
3. Flatline
2. Extremis
1. Heaven Sent
been waiting for this!!
12th is THE doctor. But Clara fits his character more than Bill in my opinion. And nothing can beat twice upon a time. No big bad, just ending the moffat run in an amazing way
To be honest, I liked Dany more than Clara.
And 12 is absolutely my favourite Doctor.
What is it about enbies and our fascination with ravens? Why are we like this xD
I think Capaldi is my favourite doctor. Its a close call with McGann, Big Finish has been so good to him. Pertwee was my first Doctor so he is coming up on third.
Really gotta love when an era ends on such an overwhelming high.
1 The mummy on the Orient express
2 World enough and time/ The doctors falls

10 Time heist
I used to think I hated Capaldi’s doctor but after watching & loving all of his episodes with Billie I realized I just didn’t like the stories with Clara & this isn’t a sleight against her. I think she is a wonderful actress I just never felt the magic with her & the doctor the way I felt with Billie
What? No Kill the Moon or Robot of Sherwood? :P

Yeah, Dark Water/Death in Heaven is great.
Well, change The Pilot with Deep Breath, and I totally agree with you! The 12th Doctor's era was to me very solid. This far, the best era of modern Who.
I agree with the number 2 and 1 placements in this video
Definitely appreciate the distinguishing between WEAT/Doctor Falls as a better 12th Doctor episode than Heaven Sent, which is a better episode of Doctor Who. Personally I'd go with this:
1. Heaven Sent (still would rather watch)
2. World Enough and Time/Doctor Falls
3. Mummy on the Orient Express
4. Face the Raven
5. Flatline
6. Under the Lake/Before the Flood
7. Pyramid at the End of the World
8. Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar
9. Zygon Invasion/Inversion
10. The Pilot
I don't miss the sonic screwdriver though...my heart belongs to the Eccleston-Tennant model. Partly because their names sound so good together...I'd probably buy an Eccleston-Tennant model anything.
It's all in the sunglasses!
Don`t we usually get a ranking og the seasons episodes???? 😁❤️
My top 10
1 WEAT / TDF
2 heavens sent
3 under the lake / before the flood
4 time heist
5 face the raven
6 mummy on the orient express
7 flatline
8 knock knock
9 thin ice
10 Oxygen
Wow didn’t expect hell bent to be your number 1!
Well we know what #1 is lol. Also, first, yay. Also, spoilers on season 13 please, season 13 is friggin region locked in australia ffs. By the way, nathaniel i absolute ADORE your new hair
Series 13 isn’t even out yet.
uh season 13 isnt out yet
@@dubbingsync isn't it? Right so any season 12 episodes i should avoid? And watch anyway cause i passionately hate midnight cause its the scariest thing in media and apparently a top 4 new who episode
I havent seen any season 12 episodes. Region locked out. Any of em worth it, besides the timeless child to see if the vitriol is worth it?
@@212mochaman Spyfall, Fugitive of the Judoon, The Haunting of Villa, Timeless Children and Revolution of the Daleks are all needed to understand the story, everything else can be skipped if you can't be bothered.
I don't think I have a Top 10 for the 12th Doctor. My Top 3 though would be Oxygen, The Pilot and The Husbands of River Song.
I thought the Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar, and the Zygon Invasion/Inversion were exceptional stories. I did enjoy the Pyramid at the End of the World too.
Can't argue with this list
Yea of course, take your time.
What I also loved about Thin Ice is that it explored the "black companion in the past" anxieties WAY better than the Doctor's horrible treatment of Martha in the Shakespeare Code as well as the cartoonish space-racist approach to Ryan in Rosa. Still not perfect but it's really sad just how few actually thoughtful and well-written examples of those we get.
How...HOW isn't twice upon a time and husbands of river song not here...
For under the lake, when the death woman went on the ground to check the vibration, why didn’t she just turn around
Because she didn't know it was behind her
@@doctorllama8015 but then why would she check the floor for vibrations if she didn't know it was behind her and if she was just checking incase of something behind her, she should still just look around, it's a lot quicker
@@cyberemperor1435 fair enough. Imo the scene is awesome and I like the vibration check rather than a quick turn around.
@@doctorllama8015 I know ,it is still great but they could of just have the 'ghost' get really close up instead of the vibration check but ur right is is a great scene and it is a great 2 parter.
There’s plenty of reasons the floor could be vibrating, not just that someone is behind her
- an underwater current
- some technology in the base malfunctioning
She checks the floor and I assume she is able to tell that it’s coming from behind her (I can’t remember if she turns around and runs or if Clara saves her)
How is Flatline not on this list?
It's a shame my Sonic's busted. Then again, I lost my TARDIS in the local park, but I've been stranded on earth before. This is but a weekend to a time lord. 😎
8:50 Oh you! Flattery will get you nowhere...
Name of episode: heaven sent
We already know Heaven Sent is number 1
Who is gonna tell them... 😨
Ok placeholder bc i wanna post MY top 10 but I gotta think about it first!!!
Thumbnail: "Top Twelfth Doctor 10 Episodes"
RIP Overdue/Take Two Reviews
Top Twelfth Doctor 10 Episodes
I felt that while Capaldi himself had comedic moments a lot of the episodes went too dark for me.
The only Capaldi episode as a whole that I really like is Robots of Sherwood.
I found Heaven Sent to be a tedious, repetitious bore on first viewing. Still do.
I love that episode but it really is a slow burn, I can 100 percent see how people wouldn't get into it
I totally agree, I can't stand that episode. Maybe if it was at 15 minutes thing? LoL Heaven Sent is awful.
Capaldi's first series (8) is his best. I hated the rocket Doctor change, and the switch from rocker to the Dracula coat Doctor was random and stupid in the later series. The hybrid RUINED his second series completely.
Can always do top ten worst
Yeah but... I'm really not in the mood to be negative.
@@CouncilofGeeks ah right. Fairs. How about top ten outfits?
@@roguebritgravy1 I second that thought. A top 10 outfits ranking would be great!
@@maxieprodmoore7822 I third!!
If Heaven Sent isn't number 1...
Edit: I thought you would have No.1 and No.2 swapped
Engage sarcasm mode: You found 10 - Well done you.
Mine would be a little shorter, closer to zero in fact.
