What’s that one Doctor Who episode you’re always in the mood to rewatch?
City of Death.
The Claws of Axos
@@neptune04 That’s a story, not an episode.
@@williammorton6633 As is that.
@@DrWhoFanJ Maybe but it's still a part of Doctor Who I can always rewatch.
I would add Vincent and the Doctor. The episode is great and the final scene always makes me tear a little.
My number one favorite. Makes me cry EVERY time,
Absolutely! No matter how many times I watch it, I always get teary eyed!
This a hundred times over. Reminds me of the beauty of the world conflicting with the realities of depression. It shows both sides of the coin.
Definately the best of all time. Before this one aired, my favorite was Logopolis. As you can see, I've seen them all.
Definitely agree!
Gotta be Vincent and The Doctor. That episode triggered all of the feels for me. I'll watch it all of the time, every time.
For me, Girl In The Fireplace is a rewatchable episode.
For sure. One of my favorite episodes. And one of the saddest endings of the entire series.
Oh yes!
I love that episode!
doctor to self
i keep telling people dont wonder off, anything can happen, see horse
@@philiprice7875 "Always take a banana to a party. Banana's are good!" 😂
Heaven Sent is perfection.
Also, I choose to believe that Agatha Christie actually disappeared because she lost her memory while battling a giant alien wasp. ☺️
The Series 9 finale trilogy as a whole is some of the best of the show imo
I'm reading a biography about that period of Christie's life and they haven't mentioned the wasp once! I'm a little disappointed. 😉
"School Reunion" has one of my favorite lines from the show. Micky says to the Doctor as they watch Rose and Sara Jane talking, "Every man's worst nightmare, the girlfriend and the Ex."
Might be the funniest line in the show ever
Love this episode 💖💖
And K-9 to Mickey: "We are in a car".
Or Mickey realization that he is the groups pet.
@@charlessmith31 then sara jane pets him
Blink is the one to get your friends hooked! 😀
Stolen Earth/Journey's End is a great one to rewatch. 🙂
Blink is one my all-time favorites!
I would watch Blink every Halloween season for a few years.
The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances should certainly make this list! It aligned itself perfectly to the "makes the kids hide behind the sofa" phenomenon!
I could watch The Husbands of River Song every day for the rest of my life. For me it is a perfect episode (although I wouldn't complain if it were longer 🤗).
I totally agree. The Husbands of River Song always hits me in the feels.
Blink is one of my favorite episodes - I'm hoping that there's more horror Who in the future. The Weeping Angels were absolutely frightening in their debut.
Eleventh Hour is one of my absolute favorites, post-regeneration or not.
A Christmas Carol is a wonderful Christmas special, and that little twist and the end with the ghost of Christmas future is... well... when I saw it for the first time, it hit me hard.
And, while I don't think it's a particularly great episode, "Power of the Doctor" was easily the best of the Chibnall/Whittaker era, and Sacha Dawan's Rasputin dance made me laugh.
Blink is also one of my favorite episodes. I'm always reminded how good it was on a rewatch, while trying to supress to the back of my mind how diluted as a villain the wheeling angels became everytime they were used after that episode.
For me, it is definitely David Tennant's era (of course!), and strangely, Peter Capaldi! He just...works!
EXACTLY
Agreed , Tennant has the best one off adventures by far. I love capaldi too but his single episodes are not that memorable to me.
Tennant's eras, to me, was the best because there were "IN-LAWS" and "RELATIVES" that he had to interact with and often it was really funny... especially Jackie. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Peter Capaldi is great though, probably one of my favourite doctors!
I started watching in 1983 and Peter Capaldi is my favorite Doctor. 🥰
Arthur Weasley playing Arthur Darvill's dad....epic.
Erm, in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" it's Mark Williams playing Rory's dad. Mark was Petersen on "Red Dwarf." (Additional: I didn't know Arthur Weasley was a Harry Potter character, my bad!)
Father Brown!!
@@just_kos99WeLl AcKsHuAlLy.
I’m very surprised that there wasn’t a River Song story in there, there are loads of stories with River that are rewatchable, just to see River
Most River stories are two-parters and we wanted to limit this to standalone episodes! A Good Man Goes To War was considered at one point.
Yes once a week I have a river Song night. I hope to see her again soon. We have the same hair.
Surprisingly, River's final appearance with Capaldi was my favorite of hers. The most emotional episodes always make a deep impression on me.
@@michaelcowin6442 yes. 23 years🥲
@@WhoCulture The Husband's of River Song was a stand alone River story, and it is very rewatchable
I could watch A Christmas Carol all day long.. Matt Smith was in rare form and Katherine Jenkins is an absolute delight.
Wdym “rare form”?
Agreed, I watch it every Christmas.
The era of Christopher Eccleston, forever my Doctor! Eccleston said in an interview that he would like it if kids started watching Doctor Who for the first time in 2005, that he would always be Their Doctor just like Sean Connery will always be his Bond. 😭❤
My favourite part of “The Unicorn And The Wasp” was the amount of Agatha Christie novel titles they managed to sneak into the script. It felt like the creators were just having fun with that episode and that is why I enjoy watching it.
The Doctor's Wife answers a question that had been hanging around since 1982. When Tegan and Nyssa have to jettison a quarter of the TARDIS mass for thrust, the Doctor's too out of it to answer their desperate question of what happens if the console room is jettisoned. The Doctor's Wife shows the safeties kick in and relocate any bio forms to one of the other rooms. Loved it for that!
Heaven Sent was the reason I started watching Doctor Who. I saw clips from it on CZcams, and sought out a...ahem...free place to see the episode, albeit visually reversed, and I was blown away. It was, I think, the best hour of television I had seen since, maybe, the last episode of MASH. So, I immediately started watching from Eccleston's first episode and have caught up completely in short order. No regrets!
How "free" tell me please
@@ashishthampy9689 Not free. DVDs, BDs, or BritBox.
Ah, so you were instantly spoiled on Clara's death and how she dies? Good to know lol
My rewatchable episodes are Vincent and the Doctor, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, A Christmas Carol, and the one I’ve rewatched the most: The Stolen Earth/Journeys End.
the husbands of River Song gets the right kinds of tears out of me
I agree with majority of your list, but i would also add: Smith and Jones, Time Heist, The Caretaker, Mummy on the Orient Express, and series 10 with Bill Potts.
Mummy on the Orient express is one of my go to episodes fantastic episode and cast
personally i love blink so much. it’s so iconic to my childhood and just instant nostalgia from the start
I simply love to watch The girl in the fireplace.
Definitely gotta agree about 11th hour being one of the best new Doctor introduction episodes. They really needed it after the absolute gut punch of losing Tennant as the Doctor though. Smith's Doctor had me at fish fingers and custard. Truly masterful writing and performing.
Wilf was the absolute best!😢❤
Blink....What a great episode!!!! It introduced us to the Weeping Angels. The touching death of Billy. Seeing bits of the Easter Egg video and then getting to watch the video in full context. Very surprised this Doctor-Lite episode didn't make the cut.
The Doctor's hand starred in "Torchwood!"
'Biting's excellent. It's like kissing - only there is a winner.' The doctor's wife is probably my favorite episode.
Great video! Boom Town is a great episode! My ten most rewatchable episodes are:
The End of the World
The Idiot's Lantern
Smith and Jones
Partners in Crime
The Eleventh Hour
Closing Time
The Rings of Akhaten
Mummy on the Orient Express
The Return of Doctor Mysterio
The Pilot
These episodes might not be everyones cup of tea, but for me they are enjoyable episodes that I never get bored of watching! 😊😊
A nice varied list here! Closing Time over The Lodger? Interesting…
@@WhoCulture I did enjoy The Lodger, I think I just preferred the story of Closing Time. And seeing the doctor and craig try to look after a baby was rather funny! 😂😊
Three of the ones on your list are of the "new companion meets the doctor" variety (Smith and Jones, Eleventh Hour, The Pilot) which are generally my favorites to rewatch, with Smith and Jones being at the top for me.
So many great episodes but 11th hour is my go to rewatch. Also love big bang for its ending.
Mummy on the orient express definitely should have been on the list! Similar to the unicorn and the wasp with an exciting mystery, but it trades out the humor for good emotional beats and brilliant setup/pay-off. :)
The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. I've watched it so many times. But yes Heaven Sent is my most watched I think.
I'm not gonna lie, I have rewatched the entire Matt Smith era with ease several times.
Pretty much ALL of season 5 is rewatchable to me, takes me back to being a teenager when it was airing. But Eleventh Hour and Pandorica/Big Bang out of everything I can watch over and over. There's just something so comforting about it...Doctors Wife as well, as sad as it is. A good chunk of Donna's run too, especially the Doctor's Daughter and Silence/Forest.
I loved The Power of the Doctor. Some new Canon with the Master there. Also in the Unicorn and the Wasp, David Tennants father plays a butler but he's more in the background.
Bonus for me, the impossible Astronaut. IDK i always keep coming back to that episode and i like the way it was set up. Also River slap was legendary xD
The most rewatchable Doctor Who episode for me:
"No fairytale castles, no damsels in distress. No such thing as Robin Hood."
THUNK!!!!
"YOU CALLED?!"
“I am the Doctor, and this… is my spoon.”
@@WhoCulture "Robin Hood laughs in the face of all! HAHAHA"
"And do people ever punch you in the face when you do that?"
"Not as yet, no."
"Lucky I'm here, isn't it?"
Although there're other episodes from new who which are good to rewatch (Blink, Girl in the Fireplace, Flatline, some of the Christmas specials, etc), there're a couple of stories from the classic era I would say are worth rewatching. The Green Death, City of Death, The Time Warrior and a few others are great to rewatch.
My go-to Doctor who episode has got to be ""The God Complex". It can be scary, funny, and thought provoking.
And the antagonists having a slight connection to classic Doctor who makes me smile.
I'm into a Doctor Who marathon, rewatching and relistening to every single episode, audio, book, so I'm pretty much in the mood for everything...
I like to binge-watch the multi-incarnations stories & episodes.
Wow! Is that even possible? Respect...
My rewatchable episodes are (not limited to, there are others I go to) The Sontaran Strategem/Poison Sky, I think I like the Earth based plot, it proved to me as a NuWhovian that Doctor Who didn't have to be all Space and Time Travel
I love this list. I'd love to see you do the best old-Who storylines to binge watch.
The Waters of Mars is one I am always partial to. I could easily rewatch that one quite a bit.
I come back again and again to Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead, it's a two-parter so some may say it's two episodes, but I say it's one episode, but an extra long one. I just love Ten and Donna, and River is just such a compelling character from the get-go. The story is properly creepy and mysterious as well. To me, it never gets old.
The Girl In The Fireplace was my first Doctor Who episode and my most watched.
Shocked it didn't even get mentioned.
For my money, the most rewatchable episode of Dr. Who is "Blink". That was such a brilliant episode, I just don't think it's ever been exceeded.
I've re-watched Heaven Sent, but felt I had to be in the right mood for it, although the episodes immediately before and after ("Face the Raven", "Hell Bent") I found highly re-watchable. I definitely agree with "The Day of the Doctor" and "The Doctor's Wife"; those I have re-watched for many of the reasons discussed - largely the banter between characters.
"I'm not crying, you are"... How did you see me ?
Unicorn and the Wasp, Partners in Crime, Day of the Doctor, and most of the Christmas episodes are my favourite go-to episodes overall.
I'm shocked that "Blink" and "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" didn't rate this list! Tho I do agree wholeheartedly with including "The Doctor's Wife", "The Eleventh Hour" and "The Day of the Doctor"
1. Heaven Sent
2. The Girl in the Fireplace
3. Silence in the library/Forest of the Dead
4. School Reunion
5. Blink
6. The Doctors Wife
7. Extremis
8. Under the lake/before the flood
9. Planet of the Ood
10. Fires of Pompeii
Thank you! I'm so glad that people actually like The Power of Three, I always rewatch it!!!
I'm surprised nobody seems to be mentioning "The Big Bang". It's a bit bonkers, it's funny, it's moving, it's both epic and personal, and I just love how it ends with Amy full of joy as the Doctor and his friends dash off on a new adventure.
But clearly "The Twin Dilemma" is the best post-regeneration story. 😜
For me it's The Husbands of River Song. Delightful story, capaldi and Kingston are going out 110%, and I cry for the depth given to the River/Doctor relationship.
Rose, Blink, Girl in the Fireplace, Silence in the LIbrary/Forest of the Dead, The Empty Child/Doctor Dances
My most rewatched episode is The Husbands of River Song. It is so "feel good Who" with a fun, silly adventure, but with a background of sadness and grief. It has helped me to cope with my own grief and hard times
I absolutely agree on Heaven Sent and The Unicorn and the Wasp. For me The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang combo is one of my favorites. The Doctor zapping back and forth in time to set everything up to save Amy, himself, the world, and... well, it's like just another day for the Doctor. I also watch The Doctor Dances, New Earth, A Christmas Carol, Vincent and the Doctor, Voyage of the Damned, The Fires of Pompeii, and The Waters of Mars A LOT! There are soooo many I'd watch endlessly, but those are the ones I go for first. The Big Bang and The Doctor Dances are probably my favorites.
Vincent and the Doctor is #1 for me
My most rewatched episode is the snowman episode, it has really everything, from genious moments like the one word test and eleven deducing things, to awesome comedy, wonder, action... everything. I also rewatched most of eleven and clara episodes, just because it has my two favourite characters, and among them I think the episode with "the long song" and the crimson horror are a pleasure to rewatch
The scenes with Stax and the memory worm were so good in that episode. Strax was a great character whenever he was part of the plot.
They need same kind of list for classic dr who too
I agree with all of these choices, but for me...I've watched "The Husbands Of River Song" more times than I can count, and I expect I'll watch it again in the near future. "How long is a night on Darillium?" "Twenty-four years." Brilliant.
Same here! I'll watch it all year round.
Glad that Unicorn and Wasp was on the list...that and The Shakespeare Code are probably my favourite episodes ever.
I rarely disagree with Ellie; her observations are normally spot on. However, Heaven Sent isn't an episode for a number six slot; it is by far, not just the best episode of Doctor Who ever, but one of the finest pieces of television ever. Capaldi carries the entire episode on his own with such ease, it is beautiful to watch.
Remember that this isn't a list of the "best" episodes, it's which ones we're most likely to rewatch! We put Heaven Sent lower down because it's such a dark episode, and we felt it's much easier to rewatch something lighter.
Heaven Sent is one of the best episodes overall.
The big reveal had me in tears. When it switched to cuts of The Doctor repeating the exact same actions, remembering the times he's repeated it and it's the count thing into billions of years, I was gone. That got me right in the feelings because.
The weird thing is, he didn't have the information the Time Lords wanted, only a hypothesis. And these hypothesis made it likely that the Time Lords would want to keep him in the Confession Dial.
Other than that, Blink, Human Nature and The Family of Blood are the only other ones I can watch any time. The Zygon Invasion and Inversion are good as well.
A pretty good list, I especially agree with Partners in Crime, Eleventh Hour, Heaven Sent and Day of the Doctor. I'd also add Blink, A Christmas Carol, Vincent and the Doctor and City of Death.
"Bells of St John" was the one missing for me from this list.
A Christmas Carol is just a completely rewatchable episode.
The "Bad Wolf" speech is a very rewatchable piece.
Had a scan down the comments, and was surprised that I didn't see Dark Water mentioned. Sudden shock death of a main season character, the lava stand off. Then everything that builds up to the Missy reveal.
An unusual list. A few spot on, but others....like Boom Town? Blech. Vincent and the Doctor, Blink, Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Silence in the Library and probably another 20 more lol
„Basically, run!“ is probably one of the most „threatening“ oneliners the Doctor ever said!
"The Doctors Daughter" works because Georgia Moffett is both "the Doctors daughter" (Peter Davison, her dad) and "the Doctor's wife".(David tenant, her husband).
9:23 i’M NoT cRyINg yOU aRE 😂😂😂😂😂
3:36 Yes, the window scene. You caught me, I often watch just that scene alone when I need to improve my mood.
Turn left is my go to episode. It’s an amazing story and Catherine Tate is fantastic in it.
Oh god yes, I love that one, I rewatched it just last night. I was actually going to go watch Midnight, but I saw Turn Left after it and I suddenly felt more like watching that instead! (Then the music at the end - after Donna passes on Rose's "Bad Wolf" warning - got me rewatching Utopia as well! XD )
Time of the Doctor is the most rewatchable episode out there imo, the vibes are immaculate and its emotional yet funny
How could you not include "Vincent and the Doctor"?! That final scene is brilliant!
Great list! "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and "School Reunion" are episodes I often return to as well!
My favorites to rewatch are The Doctor's Daughter, The Unicorn and the Wasp, and the Girl in the Fireplace. I absolutely love how fun they are. "love the running, yeah?" (:
If you've watched the Classic Series then anytime UNIT shows up in New Who feels like Third or early Fourth Doctor serials.
For me I love rewatching Tom Baker's serials because of his magnetic charisma. For New Who I like The Unquiet Dead, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, 42, Blink, Partners in Crime, Turn Left, Vincent & the Doctor, The Doctor's Wife, Asylum of the Daleks, Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, and The Day of the Doctor.
My favourites to rewatch in no special order are Blink, Vincent and the Doctor, the Power of Three, Amy's Choice, Eleventh Hour, Heaven Sent, the Unicorn and the Wasp, the Doctor's Wife, the Day of the Doctor, The Husband's of River Song, A Good Man Goes to War, and the Woman Who Fell To Earth.
For me the most re watchable episode is the husbans of River song
My favorite moment is when the doctor go to the Tardis and react like it s the first time he enter in the Tardis 😂😂😂
I tried to introduce a friend to Who with The Unicorn and the Wasp. ...when the guy transformed into the Wasp...my friend burst out laughing at the CGI...and that was sort of it for him & Dr. Who.
I always start them with Vincent and the Doctor.
One I love rewatching is "the snowmen" it gives us even more mystery into the impossible girl. Brings characters that we know adding more to their characters,
And then one of the best god damn tardis reveals.
"That's no more a box than you are a governess"
"Oh spoken like a man. You know your same as all the rest. Sweet little clara, works at the rose and crown, ideas above her station. We'll for your information I'm not sweet and the inside and I'm certainly not"
BOOM!! Massive bass drop and the 11ths theme blasting, the tardis lights come on and clara losing it with the doctor just stood there with a super smug look.
And this episode always gets me with the end because of how gut reaching sad it is. But then gives us the joy of the doctor running off to find modern day clara.
Although I wonder how clara would have turned out if she was originally victorian clara to run away with the doctor rather than modern day
Opened this thinking "School Reunion should be on here, it's so good..." I was not disappointed
To add to school reunion, you could keep coming back to it for Anthony Head's performance alone.
I think the reason they never had the Doctor Cameo in Torchwood because of its rating. The Doctor is more than anything else an edgy yet child friendly character. No foul language, very pg when it comes to romance and other things of the same (especially Matt Smith's incarnation) I remember Torchwood being the more adult themed version spin off of DW. I think Writers and Producers didn't want the Doctor directly associated with Torchwood the show as it would mean that there would be content of the Doctor that children would not be able to access due to age.
School Reunion is personally my favorite episode of Doctor Who. I feel like it's a really well written episode and the use of Sarah Jane is so cool. Plus, Anthony Stewart Head as the main antagonist was rather interesting since around the same time I was first watching Doctor Who, I also was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer...
I believe Rich of Old WhoCulture would agree with me in saying that Sahsa Dawan's master is acted like someone who fancasts themselves as the Master. Not Dawan's fault! He and 13 deserved better stories
While there are a fair few episodes I always am up for re-watching, the one that always comes to mind is _'Blink'_ - It features the first appearance of the Weeping Angels. Although their repeated use has diluted them a bit, they're some of my favourite enemy types in the series. TBH, basically every new episode with Daleks, Cybermen, or (to a somewhat lesser degree) Sontarans tends to make me go _"Oh, another episode with those guys",_ I am usually down for some Weeping Angels, even if their abilities and speed are somewhat inconsistent.
Absolutely! I’ve re-watched Blink more than any other episode! It’s still my favorite. The Eleventh Hour comes in a close 2nd.
The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, still to this day two of my favourite episodes.
Blink, Vincent and the Doctor, and Silence in the Library are some of my personal favorites that were not mentioned.
You nailed a lot of those I would have picked but one I kind of hated until the end was "
The Zygon Inversion". The speech Peter Capaldi gave at the end about war was the most powerful speech I've seen since. The Dictator speech given by "Charlie Chaplain".
9:23 why you gotta call me out like that? I was sure nobody knew. Most of these I've watched countless times now, though it was Heaven Sent was the first one I really rewatched over and over. That and Blink. And Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit. Really I think there's just way more than 10 episodes that are massively rewatchable.
Fantastic list! Though I'd also say Turn Left, Blink and A Christmas Carol are all fantastic rewatches as well!
2011s The Girl Who Waited is in my rewatch list. Enough time travel shenanigans going from funny to tragic REAL quick when the Doctor makes that Doctor choice, or should but makes Rory choose at the end knowing full well what the answer is.
I’m floored that Blink, Midnight, & The Girl in the Fireplace aren’t on here.
Because of the Master's crazy dance to Boney M's Rasputin, I danced to it with my younger brother at his birthday party. 😁
Midnight ought to be on this list imo
The ones I personally rewatch are blink, the Pandorica box two-parter, turn left and The subsequent two-parter, day of the doctor and a Christmas carol
