The new issue of Doctor Who magazine reveals the results of their reader's poll and fans have crowned the 50th anniversary episode, The Day Of The Doctor, as their favourite Doctor Who adventure of the past 50 years!
The celebratory tale brought together the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith and the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant It also saw Billie Piper return though not as Rose, but as the mysterious 'The Entity'. We were introduced to the War Doctor, John Hurt and a surprise cameo from Tom Baker.
The story, which was broadcast on 23rd November 2013, triumphed over every other Doctor Who story, beating other fan-favourites Blink (2007) and Genesis of the Daleks (1975) into second and third place respectively.
In fourth place was 1984's The Caves of Androzani, the final story of Peter Davison's era as the Fifth Doctor, which topped DWM's poll the last time it was held back in 2009, while 1979's City of Death – co-written by Douglas Adams – was in fifth place.
Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's current showrunner, and the writer of both The Day of the Doctor and Blink, addressed the readers in his regular DWM column saying: "Thank you. Thank you so very much. I am an ageing Doctor Who fan, and I promise you, no other award has meant half as much to me as this one."
