We’ve had the past three Doctors, and this week step up Paul McGann as the Radio Times reveals the most voted for main range titles. The winner is no surprise, I’m pleased at the second and thought the fourth might have come second. Details below (spoiler — look at the picture!)

Seventh Doctor top titles from the Radio Times poll
The Radio Times poll of Seventh Doctor main range titles is out and I have to say the top two include two of my favourite ever, and they may even be my top two as well across all Doctors! The press release is below..
Fifth Doctor top titles from Radio Times poll
The Radio Times poll for the main range Fifth Doctor titles is closed, and the winners announced. Apart from the predicable Spare Parts, there were two of my personal favourites (both by Paul Magrs). Full details below. You can still vote in this week’s Sixth Doctor poll.
Other views on Fugitive of the Judoon
A quick look at other opinions on the excellent (IMHO) Doctor Who story Fugitive of the Judoon. I’m getting mostly very positive but then a few break ranks. It’s the curse of reviewing you feel you must find fault and pick holes. Here’s a selection…
More views on Orphan 55
I very much didn’t enjoy Orphan 55 and said as much in my review. Of course it’s a big world out in Doctor Who fandom, and I’m very much in a minority and the episode has sparked a lot of comment on various forums / social media. It’s a pit we waste so much time…
Jodie Whittaker talks Christmas to the Radio Times
In the UK there’s a tradition of buying the massive double edition Radio Times for all Christmas TV listings. The 2019 issue features a two page interview with Jodie Whittaker in which she talks about filming Doctor Who, Stephen Fry, St Trinians and how she spends Christmas. No big revelations but a decent read as…
Looking back at series 11
While we ponder the trailer for the New Years Day Doctor Who story Spyfall Pt 1, I thought it worth having a mull over series 11. I was generally more negative than positive (as I commented on here) so I’ve gone across to the Radio Times for their views (see here). I thought I was…
What did the Radio Times make of the Eleventh Doctor?
November. Eleventh month, Eleventh Doctor. Simple really. For me (and it’s boring I know) modern Doctor Who peaked with the Tenth Doctor. This doesn’t mean no other stories were worthwhile, far from it. It’s just my view. As you’ll see (if you carry on) I liked a lot of the Eleventh Doctor. Let’s dig a…
Colony in Space – some observations
Since I had a rewatch (after nearly 50 years) of season 7 of Doctor Who for The Doctor Who Companion, I’ve had a few Pertwee stories on my pile of DVDs to watch at some point. I’ve just finished Colony in Space and here are a few thoughts. I would have done a review, but…
What did the Radio Times make of the Tenth Doctor?
It’s October and it’s (to a lot of modern viewers myself included) the Doctor. David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor. Surely the Radio Times will have almost wall-to-wall five-star reviews of his time in the role? The truth may surprise, and let’s remember he did (by modern standards) appear in a lot of stories. They can’t all…
Radio Times shows rare Jon Pertwee Third Doctor photoe
I think the Radio Times does an excellent job with it’s on-line Doctor Who coverage, and the recent post Rare photos of Jon Pertwee filming his Doctor Who debut 50 years ago is another great example. It’s a set of black and white shots from the filming of Spearhead from Space and well worth looking…
What did the Radio Times make of the Ninth Doctor?
September means time to think Ninth Doctor. And yes, it’s been over fourteen years (!!) since the Doctor and Rose burst onto our screens. The collected Radio Times reviews are here, and I largely agree with the ratings if not the details therein. All are worth a read.
