Verdict: Doctor Who Series 8

Doctor Who Series 8 saw the show break new ground - with a new, grumpier Doctor at the helm, the BBC's flagship sci-fi show plunged into darker, and grimier territory across 12 stellar episodes. From a spider-infested Moon base to Robin Hood and his band of merry men, here is my verdict on Doctor Who Series 8. 

Top 5: Doctor Who Villains

The BBC's flagship show, Doctor Who, returns this weekend to much fanfare and fuss. And whilst the show is essentially about a man in a blue box that travels through time and space, it has arguably endured time (it's now in its 51st year) thanks to its iconic, terrifying and sometimes silly enemies.

From the Slitheen to the Silurians and the Sontarans, all sorts of weird and wonderful baddies have terrorised the Doctor and his friends over the years. To celebrate the return of Doctor Who, I wanted to run through my favourite foes from the show. (Note: mainly New Who, my knowledge of the classic series is poor at best).

Doctor Who: Who Should be the Twelfth Doctor?

So there's good news and there's bad news. The good news? The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special is one day closer to airing that it was yesterday. The bad news is that The Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, has announced his departure from the show. After three seasons at the helm of the show, Smith has decided to hang up the fez and bowtie and move on to Gallifreyan pastures new.
