There is exactly one month to go until the 10th anniversary of the revived series – or ‘NuWho’, as it has come to be known – and we want to celebrate the landmark in style.

Yes, it’s not 50 years (and we’re well aware that the show is actually half a century old, before you point it out in the comments!) but it’s still a milestone worth commemorating. After all, the series has gone from strength to strength since its 2005 return and statistically it’s now more popular than it’s ever been. Not too shabby for something that all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard, eh?

And oh, how amazing has the last decade been?! We’ve had four Doctors who have each encountered a plethora of enemies both old and new, countless companions have each left their unique mark on the mythology and let’s not forget all of the surprises and timey-wimey twists that have shocked and left us on the edge of our seats along the way. It has been an unforgettable 10 years and with Series 9 in production, it’s only just beginning…

But which of the NuWho series has been the best one? They’ve all been completely different with new Doctors and a host of faithful friends and formidable foes to help keep the show feeling as exciting and fresh as it was on day one. Now is as good a time as any to find out which series from the last decade has been the greatest so far and it’s all down to you!

Vote in the poll below and we’ll reveal the results on Wednesday 26th March 2015, the 10th anniversary of NuWho. This poll is only for the full series – we’ll be opening another poll for the NuWho Specials, as well as many more related festivities, in the run up to the big day.

    Series 7 for me!

    HAD to be Series 4 for me.

    Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner in charge. David Tennant at his most settled and established as the 10th Doctor and Catherine Tate as one of the most memorable of the modern companions with a finale that featured all of the modern companions + Davros, though I know others hate it and that’s ok.

    In addition, Murray Gold was on the up, creating iconic pieces of music that I liked so much that I remembered them and their names, which has been very much in decline since Series 7. The S4 theme hasn’t been surpassed for me, Donna’s music perfectly reflected her personality and the Doctor’s Theme and Song of Freedom are also particular highlights.

    So yeah, Series 4 is easily the best series of the Revived Series, hardly had to think about it.

    Kind of a tie between 4, 5 and 8 for me. Nice to see those on the top three at the moment, though it’ll most likely change before the end.

    I agree with JC but also think for me, Season 1 is superior. Only because Chris E did such a fantastic job that the BBC were persuaded to keep going…..

    I’m really surprised there aren’t more votes for season 3. That had Blink and Human Nature/Family of Blood. You’d think it would count for something. But then, I didn’t vote for it as my favorite either, so my point is pointless. :)

    Series 5 by a long shot the episodes were very exciting & enjoyable. The chemistry between The Doctor, Amy, Rory (and sometimes River) was fantastic.

    Great to see positive comments so far.

    You have a point Steve, the 9th Doctor brought the Doctor back strongly and if anything, his performance has only been strengthened by seeing some of his immediate history in the War Doctor.

    I saw the great “Dalek” episode again the other day and with the added history of John Hurt’s Doctor, you understand much more about how he felt when he electrocuted the Dalek and also when he was standing with a massive gun about to kill it and Rose had to stop him.

    Yep, fourth season. I love fifth as well, but as JC stated, nothing beats the Tardis Family in the season finale.

    I’m amazed to see Series 3 so low. Best Doctor, Best Companion, and hardly any bad episodes. Plus, I don’t think we’ve had a more epic finale. Truly underrated.

    No Questions asked.. ITS SEASON 4 To me that will be the best of the new series. As much as I love season six season 4 wins in my book

    It would’ve been series 8 had Missy not turned out to be the Master, utterly ruined the series for me, so series 7 wins my vote.

    @Greg Campbell

    I don’t understand how Missy’s identity could ruin the whole season, especially since it was obvious from the beginning. The Master has always been such a campy villain since the 70s, Missy is actually a bit frightening for once, so good on them. Besides, we had the Master as a translucent goo snake with an American accent in the past, so, honestly, he can be anything! :P

    It’s surprising isn’t it, the best voted season is as close to the original series as they could get. The Doctor and his companion having fun and adventures…. instead of the Doctor and his love sick human pet! The 4th Doctor and Sarah summed Doctor Who Up perfectly in Pyramid of Mars –
    Sarah, “Sometimes you don’t seem hu……”
    Doctor “Human, I am not”
    It is something lost on Moffatt!!
