Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Mar 10, 2020
4.8/5
There are some really great things happening in Doctor Who Season 7, and the addition of Clara Oswin Oswald could turn out to be one of the most monumental characters in the show's history. Go to Full Review Patrick Mulkern Radio Times Mar 25, 2019
5/5
It's clever, fast, funny, eerie, surprising and tearjerking - all in one spectacularly polished package. And Steven Moffat steps over 49 years of Dalek baggage to make them fresh and menacing again. Go to Full Review Mark Snow IGN Movies Dec 12, 2018
7.9/10
50 years in, we're happy to take a season that - while conceptually, sporadically wonky - succeeded in keeping us just as excited for what happens next as ever. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine Dec 12, 2018
5/5
Matt Smith continues to refine his infinitely charismatic take on the Time Lord. He's still capable of channeling a giddy, boyish sweetness, of course, but he seems newly ancient and suspicious. Go to Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media Dec 2, 2013
4/5
Though the low budget can show in the CG effects at times, the entertaining stories and iconic protagonist has inspired a cult following that has lasted for years. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Nov 15, 2013
3.5/4
In the penultimate batch of episodes before Doctor Who's jubilee year, executive producer Steven Moffat continues to marvel with his ability to keep the time-and-space-travelling Doctor in ever-so-complicated trouble. [Blu-ray] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Emi M @anxiouswholockian Jan 31, 2026 First half was good, Amy and Rory's departure broke my heart. Second half was lowkey mid af, even tho Clara is my fave companion. Her story was all over the place during her time from season 7-9, like wtf? See more Rick D @RIckD468 Sep 13, 2025 Moffat careened totally off the rails, and the result was some of the worst Doctor Who in the new era. The Amy/Rory departure is nonsensical and the last story for Eleven is ridiculous. See more Fan O @RT73657206 Apr 20, 2025 Every episode this season had major complaints but some, and while I don't share all of them, you feel that when watching. That doesn't stop it from having it's many good moments, The Angels Take Manhattan is heartbreaking and The Rings of Akhaten beautiful. The Day of the Doctor wouldn't work a quarter as well without it, but it's one of the weakest seasons. Clara is at least an enjoyable new character, in the episodes where she actually has a personality. See more James M @RT53838474 Feb 13, 2025 Some great moments and some bad moments. Clara is a great addition as the new companion and her 2nd appearance is the best version of her character. The new tardis is amazing, and I love the doctors new outfit. The rings of Akhaten is a brilliant episode especially with that speech and Murray gold music. See more Kyle W @RT60929368 Dec 10, 2024 OK, so Matt Smith is a quirky take on the Doctor, but bring Jenna Coleman along for the ride and this is a winning formula for me. See more Xp A @RT92106022 Dec 10, 2023 Enjoyed it. Most episodes were great. Angels in Manhattan was a bit useless and badly written. See more Read all reviews
