Help Wanted!
I happened to come across this book on one of the display tables as I was wandering the bookstore, and I picked it up on a whim. Well, to be honest, I picked it up because I was struck by the cover and the bright red page edges. With that being said, I was also excited by the humorous way that the book description was written on the back cover. I hoped–and had my fingers crossed–that this was going to be a good read. I wasn’t disappointed!

Best Christopher Eccelston Episodes
The first of the New Who Doctors only got 1 season. That remains one of the saddest things in the Doctor Who universe because Christopher Eccelston was a seriously incredible Doctor. And he was the perfect bridge between the old and the new. The reality here is that there is only 1 episode of this season that you could possibly skip. Because it is British television the seasons are so much shorter so when I say we did not get enough time with Christopher Eccelston I really really mean it. I’m gonna go ahead and say that you should absolutely watch the entire season because it is so beautifully written. That said, here is my list of the best Eccelston episodes.

Ranking Doctors
Before we go into Ncuti’s run as the Doctor and before I make my first journey to Gallifrey One I wanted to go ahead and make a ranking list of the Doctors. Now obviously this is entirely based on my preferences and what I have seen. I haven’t watched all of everyone’s seasons because the writing just didn’t connect with me as well and that's okay. I am excited for the new season and I can’t wait to see Ncuti really step into the role. We will go from most awesome to least awesome.
