10 Best Doctor Who Episodes According To YOU
9. The Doctor’s Wife
Rating: 8.9/10
Remember when Neil Gaiman wrote for Doctor Who? Not that naff one with the Cybermen and the world’s most annoying children. This one.
It took until 2011 for Doctor Who to do something that, quite frankly, it was a little shocking it took 48 years to think of. It gave the TARDIS a body and a voice and let it run around with the Doctor, and oh boy was it fun.
With an incredible script that is funny, exciting, and emotional all at once, The Doctor's Wife hits the beats you’d want from a conversation between the Doctor and his loyal ship. Suranne Jones takes a role that could've easily slipped into cringe territory and toes the line perfectly, and an unrecognisable Michael Sheen is fantastic as the sadistic House.
That scene where Amy and Rory are tormented in the TARDIS corridors. Chef's kiss!
The Doctor's Wife narrowly missed out on our own top ten list so it's great to see it here. A worthy contender indeed, and it's about time Gaiman was given another bite at the apple.
