YOUR Verdict on “Fugitive of the Judoon” – Jacking Up the Score
It’s time to reveal DWTV’s poll results for the fifth episode of Series 12, “Fugitive of the Judoon”, as voted for by you over the last week or so.
“Fugitive of the Judoon”: Score Breakdown
As always, we asked you to rate the episode on a scale from 1 to 10. We then took an average.
- A few thousand of you voted, and the average score was 8.01. According to the Doctor Who TV score guide, this indicates the episode was generally considered to be “Very Good”.
- This score leaves “Fugitive of the Judoon” as the 45th highest rated episode of the revival (according to the DWTV ranking polls taken in 2018). More specifically, it is situated between “Extremis” (8.04) and “Oxygen” (8.00).
- “Fugitive of the Judoon” not only marks the highest score of Series 12, but also the highest rated episode of the Chibnall era thus far. The previous highest score was “Rosa” (7.94).
- This is the first score of the entire Chibnall era to break an 8. It only took 16 episodes!
- In fact, this would be Chris Chibnall’s best rated episode yet as well, but as it was co-written with Vinay Patel, it would be unfair for Chibnall to take all the credit.
- The standard deviation – which is our measure for how divisive an episode is – was 2.63. While “Fugitive” is the highest rated episode of this run, unfortunately there was still significant divisiveness between voters.
- Overall: much, much better! No doubt, the fan-pleasing return of a certain Time Agent helped to Jack up the score (ahem!).
