Doctor Who: Every Tenth Doctor Episode Ranked From Worst To Best

20. The Doctor's Daughter

Doctor Who The End of Time
BBC Studios

This is an episode where the plot fails to live up to the intriguing concept.

While the character of Jenny is brilliantly played by Georgia Moffett, she is given so little to work with during such a short amount of time that the idea of the Doctor actually having a daughter feels somewhat undercooked.

Martha Jones also isn't given much to do here, spending most of the episode separated from the Doctor to the extent that she feels like an afterthought.

Still, it's not all bad. Jenny's "death" and the Doctor's subsequent rage towards General Cobb are powerful moments, and the mystery of the seven-day war is really intriguing.

Also... BRING JENNY BACK!

An avid cinephile, love Trainspotting (the film, not the hobby), like watching bad films ironically (The Room, Cats) and hate my over-reliance on brackets (they’re handy for a quick aside though).
