The Happiness Patrol, that 1988 Doctor Who story that features Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor facing the Kandy Man. Oh boy... Is this episode really that bad or maybe, just maybe there are some good points to it. Maybe.

The third season of the new Doctor Who series has a lot of excellent episodes. Was The Shakespeare Code one of those episodes? The Doctor and Martha team up with Shakespeare himself to fight witches.

In 2014 the Doctor meets Robin of Sherwood. This does not seem possible since Robin of Sherwood is not real. Could he be a robot? Maybe. Our group watched this Peter Capaldi episode and found it quite enjoyable but was there too much humor in it?

Starting in 1972 the Doctor meets up with the Daleks in The Day of the Daleks. This Jon Pertwee era story sees the Daleks using time travel technology on Earth.

In 1966 Doctor Who hit a milestone with the final William Hartnell episode. Not only was this his last episode and the Cybermen's first, it was the first time we would experience a regeneration. Without this the show would have probably not endured decades of success. With one episode missing and only available in animated format, what do we think of this one?

Back in 2005 when Doctor Who returned to our television screens there were a few episodes that really demonstrated that the show had potential to be amazing. Written by Steven Moffatt, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances were two episodes that really gave us a glimpse at the potential this show had. Does it still hold up though?

In 1987 the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) visited Paradise Towers. For him and Mel it was a harrowing experience with cannibals, girl gangs and killer roving trash machines.

In 2005 Doctor Who returned to our screens and the first episode, Rose, introduced us to Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose. The Autons were back as well.

Back in 1996 a TV movie was made in hopes of bringing back Doctor Who. The movie didn't do so well in America but what did the fans think of it? Paul McGann portrayed the Doctor in this very controversial story that featured among other things, "The Kiss" which seems to have become a staple for the new series.

From the Classic Era of Doctor Who, 1984 we see the final story of the 5th Doctor played by Peter Davison. The story is considered by many to be one of his best. The Doctor must sacrifice his life to save his companion. Is this episode rally that good?

Before Steven Moffat produced the show he wrote a few half way decent episodes. The Girl in the Fireplace might be considered by many to be one of the best episodes of the season but does our group agree? Originally airing in 2006, this Doctor Who episode has the Doctor investigating a futuristic spaceship that is sending clockwork robots to the 18th Century. Notes Music by PJM25595/Dalekium https...
