We all know how each of the classic Doctor Who companions left the show, be it by marriage or being smeared halfway across the northern hemisphere. But companions only leave the show when the actor does, so what are the nitty gritty, behind the scenes reasons for these departures?

How do you pick the best Doctor Who episode for each of the 15 Doctors? Well, you don't, for a start, because you can only really judge 14 of them. Paul McGann only has The TV Movie and Night of the Doctor for us to judge, and so it wouldn't feel fair to place either of those here -especially when we know how many far better examples of his portrayal of the Eighth Doctor are out there on audio.

It was during Patrick Troughton's second season that Doctor Who established itself as a monster show. Cybermen, Yetis, and Ice Warriors all menaced the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria in various bases under siege.

A wise man once observed that "we're all stories in the end", and this week's Doctor Who is a celebration of just how powerful those stories can be. It's also an episode that feels more magical and mythical than anything we've seen so far in Russell T Davies' pantheon of the gods era. But more importantly, it's a Doctor Who story that feels fresh and original, something that's been lacking in a series that has largely seemed content to play some of RTD's greatest hits.

In Aliens, James Cameron swaps the claustrophobic tension of Ridley Scott's original for a full-scale war movie set on a colony world.

During his first era as Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies established a template that would form a rigid backbone for each season. Opener on contemporary Earth, trip to space, meeting with famous historical figure, return of classic era monster, rinse, repeat. For his second era, he appeared to throw all of that away, delivering experimental, format-defying episodes like 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble.
