In the words of the Tenth Doctor... WHAT?!
BY MILLIE HINCHLIFFE
NOVEMBER 14TH, 2022
We never know what we’re going to get when we tune in for a new episode of Doctor Who. Sometimes, it can be your simple monster-of-the-week story. Other times, we get a history lesson, or a high-concept thrillride. Sometimes, it's everything at once!
Every now and then though, an episode comes along that is so good, so surprising, or so... well, nutty, that it catches you completely off guard.
We aren’t focusing on plot twists or cliffhangers in this list (though some will be mentioned), but rather those overall episodes that were unique, subversive, shocking, or took fans by surprise in one way or another.
For a show that’s been going for nearly 60 years, it’s wonderful that it’s still able to grip the attention of fans and come up with new and refreshing ideas. Doctor Who has always played by its own rules, which is one of the reasons why it's able to pull such unique episodes out of the bag in the first place.
You almost certainly weren't prepared for these episodes for one reason or another, and if you say you were, then you're misremembering. Or lying.
