Celebrating New Who
March 20th: Favourite Series
In my personal opinion series 4 had everything but as it has most of my favourite episodes in it I am definitely a bit biased. It dealt with themes of making choices and love and forgiveness and death and second chances and what humanity is capable of. It had the first appearance of the absolutely wonderful Peter Capaldi (okay so he wasn’t the Doctor here so technically it doesn’t count as his “first” appearance but Caecilius was too fantastic to ignore). It had the introduction of Jenny (who I think is a little ray of sunshine) and also introduced River Song (I will probably gush more about her later as I absolutely love her). It brought back pretty much all my favourite characters that appeared in series 1 to 4 of the revival. Finally it was funny and heartwarming while also being upsetting and terrifying and dark and just yeah. I love series 4.
