Doctor Who: EVERY Fifteenth Doctor Episode Ranked Worst To Best

11. The Church On Ruby Road

Janis Goblin is the true breakout star of Doctor Who, and we are extremely excited for her eventual rendition of Duga-Doo. 

That musical genius aside, The Church On Ruby Road was a very welcome return for the Christmas Special to Doctor Who. Ncuti Gatwa's first full episode as the Doctor gave us laughter, tears, and a full kaleidoscope of wardrobes to enjoy. Millie Gibson shines from the opening moments with Davina McCall (her first time on-camera in the franchise, but not the first time her voice has been heard). 

The mystery of Ruby is instantly engaging, even if the eventual reveal was underwhelming. Still, when one sets the stakes so high (there were goblins, airships, and falling snowmen!), it's hard not to be swept up into the excitement. 

This special serves as a mission statement, highlighting the upbeat energy that suits the Doctor so well, plus a companion who feels ready to hold her own. Both actors could sing (a pleasant surprise), and their duet reminded us all that sometimes - silly works just as well as serious.
