Doctor Who: EVERY Steven Moffat Episode Ranked Worst To Best

16. The Beast Below

After the whimsical feel of the first episode of Series 5, the second episode The Beast Below took on a much darker tone.

This episode immediately proved that Steven Moffat and Matt Smith were capable of delivering a wide range of stories for this new era of Doctor Who, with a fascinating far-future mystery set aboard a starship version of the UK – minus Scotland.

It's a terrific setting for a powerful story, affording the Eleventh Doctor yet another defining moment right at the beginning of his journey:

"Nobody human has anything to say to me today!"

And anyone who didn't cry for the Star Whale is a Cyberman!
