Your Verdict on Every 2024 Doctor Who Episode – Rated From Worst to Best
UPDATE: This post has been updated to include the 2024 Christmas Special, Joy to the World.
It’s time to reveal the results of our episodic polls for Series 14 of Doctor Who (aka the episodes that aired in 2024). As always, we asked you to rate the episodes on a scale from 1 to 10. We then took an average. After over 25,000 votes, here’s how things panned out, from the lowest rated to best.
9. Space Babies
Average voter score: 4.48
8. Empire of Death
Average voter score: 5.04
7. Rogue
Average voter score: 5.25
6. The Devil’s Chord
Average voter score: 5.57
5. Joy to the World
Average voter score: 5.66
4. Dot and Bubble
Average voter score: 6.06
3. 73 Yards
Average voter score: 6.94
2. The Legend of Ruby Sunday
Average voter score: 7.09
1. Boom
Average voter score: 7.10
It was close, but once again, a Steven Moffat-penned story ultimately rated higher than every other episode of the run. This trend, we saw during Russell T. Davies’ first era, continues into his second! However, while the result is respectable on its own, it still ranks among the lesser contributions when compared to Moffat’s other episodes.
2024 episodes Overall
With these results, the Series 14 average for all eight episodes is 5.94. If we include the Christmas special, the average is slightly lower at 5.91.
This is, sadly, another disappointing result for Doctor Who. The second Davies era showed some promise at the start with the 60th anniversary specials, but it has quickly dropped back down to a level where even the three series of the divisive Chibnall era scored higher series averages.
Comparing the post-air rating results, Series 11’s average was 6.70, Series 12’s was 6.62, and Series 13’s was 6.30. Therefore, according to DWTV voters, the show has been on a consistent decline since 2018. So RTD really needs to step up his game with Series 15.
