9 Best 9th Doctor Episodes

9. The Unquiet Dead

Adventures hopping around space and time are all well and good, but let's face it, we all come to Doctor Who for one thing only: The Doctor dragging some poor sod through history and watching them fumble about the place.

For NuWho's first outing into this part of Doctor Who's world, we find our time travelling weirdo and Rose in 19th century Cardiff, where they come face to face with the one and only Charles Dickens - and wouldn't ya know it, he's dealing with ghosts. At Christmas.

The Davies run's relationship with subtlety is akin to a fleeting kiss as it drives off into the horizon, but it's still a fun time regardless. This is where we're first exposed to the horror element that would become far more prevalent in the Doctor Who reboot - especially after Moffat took over. We'd already seen the aliens of Doctor Who return as far more convincing creature costumes compared to the original serials, so seeing straight up ghosts must have been mind blowing to classic fans.
