Doctor Who: The Big Review (What's To Come)!

 Doctor Who: The Big Review


During my downtime, I have made the decision to watch every episode of Doctor Who right from the beginning. From 1963, to 2020, there are 39 seasons/series for me to watch. The ratings I provide will be in the form of grades and will come directly after watching the episode. Sadly, some serials will not receive a rating as they're missing. I found it unfair to treat episodes that, for example, have two episodes missing or just audio available to the same standard as the rest. As a result, I will include them in the tables I create, but they will not be given a grade. 

The following chart reveals the grading below:


The above criteria is what I will use for every episode I review. In each post, I will cover a full season. I will provide a brief synopsis of each episode (only ones I grade), some facts and statistics, and then a verdict of each. After, I will highlight my favourite serial of the season/series with a paragraph providing more details on my opinion.

To conclude each post, I will provide an overall response to the season including what I liked and what I felt needed improvement. I hope you enjoy reading these posts as it is something I'm excited to do. So, please, enjoy!
