The Monster of Peladon is genuinely one of my favourite Pertwee stories, probably just behind Frontier in Space for, which is not so much generally hated but as far as I can tell considered middleish. I adore both.

If I had to pick one story, I would have to say '42', I really don't get the hate for this story as I personally love it Wait, it's hated? That's surprising to me, cause I certainly liked it! If this is any indication of the quality of stories we'll be seeing in Series 11, then we have a lot to look forward to - not intending to imply we don't already have a lot to look forward to in Series 10, of course!

I throw down my knightly gauntlet in defence of the honour of Robot of Sherwood
Gadzooks! ‘Tis Robin Hood– who doth not exist!
Perfectly done as comedy, not to be taken seriously for a nanosecond, a great laugh and only just fitting within the ‘Doctor Who’ Universe, but who cares for once? As Robin tells the Doctor: “I’m just as real as you are.” Touché!

None of them seem to get much praise, but I'll enjoy them everytime.

Judging by what I've read on the official Doctor Who page I seem to be in the minority in loving the Capaldi era (for the most part, You won't catch even me defending In The Forest Of The Night or Kill The Moon, no matter how enjoyable I find the 12th Doctor) including Robot Of Sherwood-broadly comic, dumb, hectic pacing and a ludicrous ending but hugely enjoyable and very funny, pure escapism.

I wouldn't take the comments on the official page as indicative of popular opinion. I've enjoyed the Capaldi era, even Kill the Moon. (it's just bonkers and I can't help but love it for that, though some of moral debating was a bit heavy-handed). The only episodes that have really bugged me are In the Forest of the Night (no plot), Sleep No More (utter confusion, though that last scene almost redeems the entire episode) and Hell Bent (Ditch great plot twenty minutes in to wax lyrical about Clara and undermine her death, which had been really well done in Face the Raven).

I liked (not loved) Hell Bent but I can see why others would hate it, Sleep No More wasn't executed very well but I like the experimental idea behind the episode and Reece Shearsmith was a lot of fun, Kill The Moon...well, it was shot very well... Some of the 'fans' on the facebook page seem to enjoy hating the show...

It's hard to gauge as social media is always so harsh on what's current wheras the minute you leave...they love you. I remember RTD getting all sorts of abuse, including some real homophobia, when FB was in its infancy and he was showrunning. And what was the battlecry back then? "In Moffat We Trust". You used to see that ALL the time on social media...then when he takes over he goes from hero to zero - and it'll go back again when he leaves, I've little doubt. Anyone else remember "In Moffat We Trust"? FWIW I adore the Capaldi era and have done since Deep Breath. It's the kind of Doctor Who storytelling I would picture in my head. I'll miss him and Moffat terribly.

Agree, I too have loved the Capaldi era and I'l be one of those saying "I don't want (him) to go" when the light bursts out and he starts to regenerate into... ... He has made the Doctor more alien than any since Tom Baker did (in his very different but brilliant way). Twelve's difficulty in connecting with humans and their emotions and his 'why am I wasting my time with this' attitude combine superbly with the Doctor's eternal heroism and the certainty that he will always do his best to help, even if he's impatient (to say the least!) with those he's helping. Now in his third season, he seems to be more at ease with himself and choosing companions to share his life and 'adventures'. And I'm pleased that for one last time the Doctor's earthly form is slightly older than me, as I still think he should always be!! Time for us humans goes strictly one-way, even for fans of the Doctor...

Time for us humans goes strictly one-way, even for fans of the Doctor... I love Capaldi, too. What he's done with his Doctor is what Colin Baker wanted to do but never had a chance on television. He's taken the character from the rough, hard to relate to, very alien Doctor and has him soften and become more relatable because of the experiences he's had and the people he's come to know. But that is us die-hard fans. My sister and brother-in-law, who have watched every series but are still casual fans, don't like him at all.

I think that's been the real strength of his era, even if there are stories like Time-Heist and In the Forest of the Night where you find yourself saying " Farscape/Space: 1999 did it better." We had the hotchpotch style of Season 19 for his first year, fan-driven Season 22 for his second and [insert where applicable] for his third and final. The experimental nature of each season means that there is always something to enjoy. It's divisive, just like his Doctor.

Love Capaldi, saddened he didn't do a fourth series because I'd love to see him with Chibnall rather than Moffatt.

Yeah. And let's see him go out in style then, if we don't have another series with him.

The Ark is a fun little yarn with little consequence for the First Doc. Bang-Bang-A-Boom gets my casual Trekkie side going for a very fun ride. 1963: The Space Race has the misfortune of having Fanfare for the Common Men on one side and The Assassination Games on the other so people forget that it has a fun little story to tell in an interesting location.

There aren't many I'd say I hate, so I probably like a number of hated episodes. :-) I wonder if I should say Trial of a Time Lord specifically? I think I've noticed that not everyone shares my enthusiasm for it, at least, but I do think very highly of it. I like Trial of a Time Lord. My spouse is not so keen on it.
