Neither of those could be considered poor acting performances. Both Billie Piper and Karen Gillian turned in great performances. You could make an argument for them being poorly written characters but not bad acting. For worst acting performance I'd nominate Gavin and Andrew Conrad (Romulus and...

Given the significant continuity errors in Attack of the Cybermen, he obviously didn't do a great job.

Nope not seeing it. Isn't it a little late for April Fools?

It was a bit hit and miss for me. Clara's characterisation was all over the place from episode to episode. I enjoyed it but felt series 9 was better.

What's not to love. He helped create an incredible character that's still loved more than 40 years after his death. And his delight in playing the character (which was very much "against type" for him at the time) was obvious.

Horror of Fang Rock, with its huge death toll (everyone except the Doctor and Leela) wouldn't have been out of place in the Eric Saward era. But it had a level of ongoing horror/thriller that wasn't evident during the Saward years.

It demonstrated (mostly) the value of 2 part stories, giving the stories a chance to breathe without rushing too much. That's not to say that there's not a place for single episode stories. There have been some exceptionally good single episode stories. But allowing the time for a story to...

Peter Davison is "my" Doctor. I started watching regularly just in time to see Tom regenerate into Peter and became a firm fan during his era. I think he did a great job with what he was given (including the challenge of taking over from the incredibly popular Tom Baker). Any flaws in the show...

Don't be stupid. They're not Silurians. More likely Eocenes (I was advised by a certain Scientific Advisor).

Hate is probably a bit strong, but she'd easily be at the bottom of my list of companion choices.

Well it's largely thanks to him (through his many, many novelisations) that I learned the history of the Doctor and grew to love all his incarnations. Although a recent reread of the entire classic series demonstrated that his novelisations were pretty much a bare bones rehash of the script. As...

The problem is I'm not convinced he thought that The Curse of Fatal Death was comedy. There are times when I think that he believes its an accurate representation of the classic series. (Although given the way that Rowan Atkinson performed the role I'd have had absolutely no objection to seeing...

I'm equally a fan of Arthur Darvill. He often doesn't have the highest quality material to work with in Legends of Tomorrow but he always sells it.

I seem to remember that it had been pretty firmly debunked as a genuine relic back in the 90's. Carbon dating showed it was from around the 13th-14th century I think.

I quite enjoy her as a character but like @chainsaw_metal1 I wish they'd stuck with a more "evil" characterisation than crazy. Unfortunately that's been Stephen Moffat's understanding of the character from way back. Looking at interviews from around the time of Curse of Fatal Death, he explains...

A great introduction to the Matt Smith Doctor (I feel weird calling him the 11th Doctor since he turned out to be the 13th). It actually follows the standard format of the RTD era to a large degree. I enjoyed all of the episodes (yes including the Daleks and I'm disappointed that they haven't...

Kes was quite bland at first but by the time they decided to get rid of her she'd developed quite nicely into an extremely interesting character. It's a shame they didn't keep her because by the end of the series she'd have been into old age (her people only lived 9 years?). Although they did...

Despite never having seen Jamie until much later in life, he quickly became one of my favourite companions through the novelisations.

One of the things I like to do sometimes is imagine how different Doctors would work in various stories. It's an interesting thought experiment. Sometimes its an easy fit, with just a change in voice. Other times it would make for quite a different story. For example, the end of Tom Baker's run...

So ... not a fan of Harry Kim then?
