Series 2
Favourite episode: The idiots Lantern
Now, I can't fully explain why this epsiode is my favourite from series 2. Maybe it was the first episode of the new series that I saw or maybe its because Mark Gatiss is a great writer. But what I think makes this my favourite story of series 2 is just that its down right fun!
From the Doctor and Rose pretending to be Royal inspectors right down to the creepiness of a human with a featureless face, this episode has many stand out moments. I also love the setting of the 50's and even the Doctor and Rose's outfits! The coronation of Queen Elizabeth is such an excellent event to base the story around that I am suprised no one has thought of it before. The way everyone comes together at the end in a massive street party to celebrate such a historic moment is both touching and a prime example of the sense of community that we are missing today. Not forgetting the delicious Maureen Lipman as the villainous Wire! Her motherly tones and kind gestures give way the cunning and cockiness to a devious lifeform who wants nothing more than to satisfy her "hunger". She is both chilling and gloriously watchable.
So there you have it, a random choice I know but it's good to mix things up a bit ;)

Honorable mention: Doomsday.
The season finale of series two answers the question that geeks around the World always wanted to know.... who would win in a battle? The Daleks or the Cybermen?
Answer: Well the Daleks really but it did even out a bit near the end ;)
The confidence and over blown ego of the Daleks is a joy to watch, and they get all the best lines i.e
Cyberman: You have declared war on the Cybermen
Dalek Sec: This is not war, this is pest control!
Cyberman: We have five million cybermen, how many are you?!
Dalek Sec:..... 4
Cyberman: You would destory the cybermen with 4 Daleks?!
Dalek Sec: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek!
The "war" is brilliant to watch and the fx department have done a bang up job with the battle sequences. The ending of the partnesrhip of Rose and the Doctor is heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. The part where Rose comes back to the Doctor to be with him over her family is all the more sad when she the gets taken back to the parallel world less than 10 minutes later with no way back to the man she loves and is totally devoted to. Billie Piper and David Tennant totally sell the love between the two characters and the final goodbye on Bad Wolf bay is a stand out moment due to its sadness and sense of loss. Obviously this all changes a little bit in series 4, but I will get to that on Thursday lol. And the first apperance of Donna is a great suprise moment at the end of the episode, with Davids Doctor speaking his now famous "What? What?? What?!" line :D
