Doctor Who - 20th Anniversary For The Revived Series
It feels like only yesterday after a nine year absence that Doctor Who had returned to BBC1. Twenty years later, we're only a few weeks away from a new series.
On March 26th 2005, Doctor Who returned to the screens with it's first episode, simply titled Rose. The episode introduced both the 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion, Rose Tyler (Billie Piper). In their first adventure together, they found themselves saving London from an Auton invasion. It was a simple introduction for the characters and the start of proving that a show that ran for twenty six seasons between 1963 to 1989 could work yet again for a modern audience. Since that episode, it's been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for the show.
Then there's the Doctors themselves. Christopher Eccleston. David Tennant (x3). Matt Smith. John Hurt. Peter Capaldi. Jodie Whittaker. Jo Martin. Ncuti Gatwa. All of them have taken the character in different and fascinating directions and while I do have my favourites, all of these actors deserve equal praise for what they've done with the Doctor. The Lonely Traveller. Raggedy Man. The Timeless Child. The Last Of The Time Lords. They're proof as to why the Doctor remains one of the most fascinating and enduring characters of all time. Long live the Doctor.
Then there's the companions themselves. Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), Nardole (Matt Lucas), Graham O'Brien (Bradley Walsh), Ryan Sinclair (Tosin Cole), Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill), Dan Lewis (John Bishop), Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and now Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) as well as the various recurring allies and guest companions throughout the last twenty years.
Now it's time in my opinion for the Top 20 best stories in the revived series. In my opinion obviously, feel free to disagree.
