Doctor Who: Every Post-Regeneration Episode Ranked Worst To Best

Infamously memorable for Sylvester McCoy donning a dodgy blonde wig for the regeneration from Colin Baker's in absentia Sixth Doctor to the first Scottish-accented incarnation.

Dodgy wigs were all the rage here, with the Rani also getting in on the act by impersonating Mel - although it's truly astonishing how she fooled the Doctor by being far less annoying than the perky - correction, pesky - computer programmer. Bad bubble trap!

Much like The Twin Dilemma, the storyline is nonexistent, until near the end when the Rani spouts her evil plan with exposition that wouldn't look out of place in the Chris Chibnall era. However, unlike the The Twin Dilemma, at least there's enough running around nonsense imbued with 1980s synth and random spoon playing to keep it zipping along. But the moral of the story is that you don't need to kidnap historical figures for dastardly purposes. Just ask Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan.

The Tetraps are notch up on Finster's monster creations with added scares of a murky pit and sounding like a sinister breathing Xenomorph.

The show was, of course, in its death throes so it's kudos to McCoy for keeping it going for another three seasons. So much so that readers of Doctor Who Magazine voted him the best Doctor in 1990.
