Doctor Who: Every Festive Special Ranked From Worst To Best

15. Resolution

Poor Jodie Whittaker never got an actual Christmas special as the Doctor, as her first festive episode started the trend of episodes airing on New Year's Day rather than 25 December.

Resolution was a decent outing for Thirteen and her three chums, but again, it was fairly uninspired.

It was a fine one-off story about a scout Dalek running amok on Earth, but the episode never really got going, and leaves you wanting more. It also has one of the lamest endings in recent memory, with the Dalek being beaten by a microwave.

Considering that this was the only episode of the show that aired in 2019, it was very disappointing. That scrap metal Dalek casing was neat, though.
