Top 5: Doctor Who Episodes


These are my top 5 episodes of the new series of doctor who.

1. Turn Left
Donna expriences her timeline if she had never have met the Doctor. A real showcase for Catherine Tate who delivers an amazing performance, interesting to see a different version of events over the previous four series. Rose's return is somewhat dull and dodgy accent. And the mother of all cliffhangers makes my hair stand on end everytime.....

2. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
This two parter sees the doc and rose land in London during the blitz and involves a spooky child in a gas mask, 'are you my mummy?' This erie two parter is one of the best stories of the new run. The introduction of Captain Jack adds a new fun element to the show.

3. School Reunion
The doc, rose and mickey bump into the doctors former companion Sarah Jane Smith. Its a resonable fun episode, but the reason i enjoyed was the return of Elizabeth Sladen. Great to see her character again and have some classic nostalgia.

4. Utopia
Captain Jacks returns and the return of an old foe. Not a great story, but it all cultimates in a great performance by Derek Jacobi. Some funny banter between Jack, Martha and the doctor.

5. The Stolen Earth/Journeys End
Allthough its a hectic episode its great to see all the characters making an appearance. On repeat viewing it makes more sense and is a good way to end the series.

Overall, i seem to enjoy episodes that have a good plot but some light hearted banter. Particuarly, i seem to find it better with more than 2 people in the Tardis, and this is my big hope for the new series......

Top 5: Music Albums of All Time

1. Kelly Clarkson: Breakaway
This is my definite favourite album, it flows brilliantly between styles and tempo, with some great songs, particuarly Since you've been gone and Because of You.









2. Stereophonics: Performances and Cocktails
A great album, except Roll up and Shine, subtle and powerful, particuarly Bartender and the Thief and She Takes her clothes off.







3. Hearsay: Popstars
Hang on!Hearsay, i hear you say, see what i did there! Ok, they weren't exactly musical gold but the album is pretty decent and i remember listening to it a lot when i was looking at University prospectus's so it represents a lot of looking forward to the future for me!









4. Girls Aloud: Tangled Up
Girls aloud are brilliant, the less said about Out of Control the better, however, tangled up is great. Some great releases backed up by some amazing album songs such as Blackjacks and Close to Love. Brilliant on tour as well!










5. Pink: I'm Not Dead
A classic album, and a totally underrated singer with some heartfelt mix of styles and tunes.

Top 5: TV Shows

1. ER (1994-2009)
The best TV show ever! No other show can have you laughing out loud and then reduce you to tears within 5 minutes. The glory days of the original stars were amazing, sure it dipped in quality occasionally but they still no how to deliver breathtaking television. Looking forward to a great final season.

2. Doctor Who, new series (2005-present)
The reinvention of Dr Who, was the best thing on the BBC in the last decade. David Tennant has taken the show into new levels of quality and i'm looking forward to what his replacement can do

3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999)
It's really hard to pinpoint one Star Trek series as Voyager was amazing when on form, naff when not. The Next Generation was a stand out, but Deep Space Nine, as a television series is surprisingly good. The story arch is used to great effect with the Dominion War and it really does flow very well and upon repeat viewing is brilliant.

4. Will and Grace (1998-2006)
It's arguably more mature than Friends, and although doesn't have the mass appeal, the comedy is quality. Megan Mullaneys character of Karen is probably one of the best modern female comedy creations ever!

5. Friends (1994-2004)
I was tempted to go for another Star Trek, or my love for X Factor, but there is no denying the groundbreaking Friends. The impact on modern culture is undeniable and i think will be the one show we all remember when we're on our deathbed
