Doctor Who: EVERY Steven Moffat Episode Ranked Worst To Best

Steven Moffat has a knack for putting sci-fi spins on common fears, and Listen is another one to add to that list.

We've all had the fear that something is hiding under the bed – some of us still refuse to swing our legs over the side, or leave our limbs dangling outside the duvet – and this episode fuels that fear ever further, but also tells us that the fear makes us stronger.

This focus on fear makes it a rare episode exploring the vulnerabilities of the Doctor, which gives it an unsettling feeling throughout. The perfect story for Capaldi's more delirious incarnation, it's gripping and highly atmospheric, though for me, not quite special enough to bump it higher up the list.

But undoubtedly one of the stronger episodes in the Series 8 lineup!
