5. Everybody Lives! (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, 2005)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53CPuFgBK7E The Ninth Doctor was a deeply broken man. He had, as the Eighth Doctor, fought in the Time War, and apparently had regenerated right at the end. He barely had time to deal with that before he had to go stop the Autons from invading Earth, where he met Rose. Things went from there with lots of death and destruction. But this one moment, the moment where he managed to bring a little boy back from death, save everyone on the world, save Captain Jack and even do a bit of dancing, well, this was the Ninth Doctor at his best. It was a very sweet moment, and the sort of thing we saw way too little of during this Doctors era.
