From the tense landmine of Boom to uncovering the events of the night that Ruby was born in Empire of Death, this season of Doctor Who certainly had it all – but which episode was the best?

Well, we posed that exact question to RadioTimes.com readers, who have responded in their droves.

After more than 4,000+ votes in total, [redacted] was the winner of the best episode in our exclusive poll.

I can't rank 73 yards that high because too much was unexplained. That it was future Ruby was obvious, but how was she able to maintain exactly 73 yards? What was she saying to make people freak out so badly?

We'll never know I guess...

Rogue. Rogue is my #1 this season.

Different strokes, I guess. To me the discomfort of the unexplained in 73 yards is the source of (mild, child friendly) horror that drives the episode, and makes the story stick with you. 🤷

Rogue was a terrific throwback to fun, slightly bizarre period romps, but apart from introducing a new love interest for the Doctor I think it sits nicely in a third place? Now, if it had had full body holograms of all past Doctors gyrating to "Can't get you out of my head" along with 15 I'd rank it higher...
