“The Doctor’s Finest”: The Slice of SciFi Edition Give us a list, we'll tell you why it's incorrect and run with it

BBC America announced their marathon of 8 episodes from the modern era Doctor Who series, to give people a brief introduction or recap before heading into the premiere of Season 9.

The episodes they chose as “modern classics” were (in order):

“Blink”
“The Waters of Mars”
“The End of Time”
“Vincent and the Doctor”
“The Doctor’s Wife”
“The Day of the Doctor”
“The Time of the Doctor”
“Deep Breath”

Now while those are sufficient selections of the 10th, 11th, and 12th Doctors, we disagreed mightily with the episode selection, and with the complete oversight of any 9th Doctor episodes.

Even the poll we’re running here, “The Doctor’s Finest: Yes or No? is running strongly in favor of a different selection of episodes than the ones BBC America chose.

So, to expand on the questions we talked about in the show, Tim’s choices are:

“Rose”
“The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances”
“Dalek”
“Blink”
“The Waters of Mars”
“Vincent and the Doctor”
“A Christmas Carol”
“Into The Dalek”
“Time Heist”

Liz’s choices are:

“The Eleventh Hour”
“The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances”
“The Fires of Pompeii”
“Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead”
“Human Nature/The Family of Blood”
“The Beast Below”
“Vincent and the Doctor”
“The Doctor’s Wife”

Summer’s choices are:

“Rose”
“The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances”
“The Girl in the Fireplace”
“Blink”
“The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords”
“The Waters of Mars”
“Vincent and The Doctor”
honorable mention: “Doomsday”
