Doctor Who: Every Festive Special Ranked From Worst To Best

13. Eve Of The Daleks

Eve of the Daleks is the most recent episode on this list, airing on New Year's Day 2022. The Doctor and her companions Yaz and Dan find themselves trapped in a time loop with yet another Dalek! These guys really hate New Year's, don't they?

The Doctor must figure out a way to escape the loop, which has conveniently tied itself in with the countdown to the New Year. Of course, she manages to do this, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Well, except the Dalek.

With a creative premise and some standout character moments for Yaz, Eve of the Daleks is a perfectly alright, if ultimately forgettable episode of the show.
