Doctor Who Review Index (2025)

My quest to review every episode of Doctor Who is one of the bigger projects I've undertaken on the blog, especially in recent years, and now (fortunately for those interested in other topics), the end is in sight. Only the six black-and-white seasons from the 1960s remain to be covered, and those seasons can be problematic to watch due to their volume of missing episodes, unwisely destroyed by the BBC in the 1970s for storage reasons.


That's a problem for another day, as I have now watched and reviewed most of the rest of the series on television. A full list follows, and will be updated once I've cracked those early seasons and the spin-off shows.

And yes, barring the anticipated announcement of a recovered missing episode, this should be the last Doctor Who article in a while.

Modern Doctor Who
