50th Anniversary Polls – Your Favourite Stories
50th Anniversary Favourite Stories Polls
As we rapidly approach the 50th anniversary we thought we would run a series of polls for visitors to vote on their favourite stories from each Doctor.
Once all the votes are in we will produce a final poll with the top 2 or 3 stories from each Doctor.
You will then be able to vote for your top stories spanning the last 50 years which will give us one ultimate winner!

June 24th, 2013 - 6:45pmhow can the mutants be last!
The Greater Intelligence
June 27th, 2013 - 2:54amThere are several great stories that ate last or low numbers while mediocre or just plainly bad stories are in the top. It makes no sense to me how this can happen, but, it is everyone’s own oppinion and they are allowed to have it.

trenzalore
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:41pmwhat do you mean by ‘the only 3 i have completely watched’?
The Greater Intelligence
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:47pmIt means he has only seen those three stories of that particular Doctor.
trenzalore
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:51pmno but he says completely watched, did you not finish the other ones? I remember it took me 4 days to watch ‘the aztecs’ becuase i found it quite boring
The Greater Intelligence
June 22nd, 2013 - 6:56pmPossibly, it took me four tries to watch ‘Pyramids Of Mars’ fully and found it hard to watch ‘The Visitation’ until the third time.
Sam Bentley
June 22nd, 2013 - 7:01pmSome I have only seen clips or one episode of.
trenzalore
June 22nd, 2013 - 7:01pmi managed to get through visitation in a day and half, i don’t particularly like the classic format it looses my atttention realy quick, but i am trying to get them all. Remberance managed to keep my attention and so did inferno, ‘The five doctor’s’ took me a while, i thaught that was boring too.
76 Totters Lane
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:31pmI’ve found that the more you watch classic Who, the more you get into it.
trenzalore
June 22nd, 2013 - 9:40pmhope so, the first one I ever got was ‘ark in space SE’ and I found it so boring and the latest one I got was ‘vengeance on Varos SE’ and that was easier to watch. Just ordered 7 classic episodes from BBC shop so hope I like them

Love DoctorWho
June 22nd, 2013 - 8:09amPersonally, Rings of Akhaten is one of my least liked dr who stories ever.
I get why people like it, but to me, It was a great idea massively underused.
Name of the doctor is my favourite matt smith story though.
the astronaut of death
June 22nd, 2013 - 10:03ami under stand what you mean about the rings of akhaten but matt is brilliant in it
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
June 22nd, 2013 - 5:19pmI liked TROA, but I thought it was a bit of a let down. But TNOTD became an instant Doctor Who Classic, and I love that episode so much!
The Greater Intelligence
June 22nd, 2013 - 5:23pmIn my opinion, I found the last three stories (‘The Crimson Horror’, ‘Nightmare In Silver’, and ‘The Name Of The Doctor’) to be my three favorite Matt Smith stories to date. I think they all worked well and were executed amazingly whereas other stories in the season gave quick, hollow endings that left me sad and wondering if the show had lost what it had. But, again, that is my opinion.

The Greater Intelligence
June 21st, 2013 - 6:20pmI kind of never like these because if you do that it will only be the popular episodes that the majority like instead of some of the unknown and underappreciated gems that everyone over looks. I put my Peter Davison stories in and not one of mine was chosen yet, but it said hundreds had already voted and they were all for Androzani, Five Doctors, or Resurrection.
