Radio Times Review of 2024

That venerable publishing colossus, Christmas perennial, and loyal

Doctor Who supporter, the Radio Times, revealed the results of their

annual multi-channel TV survey this week.

Their top fifty shows of the year were elected by the magazine's TV

critics, and Ncuti Gatwa's first full season polled in twelfth place.

RT columnist Louise Griffin wrote:

"What a joy to have fallen more in love with Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor this year. Crashing onto our screens at Christmas 2023 as if he’d already spent a lifetime in the role, Gatwa continued to stun as he returned to us weekly in season 14 and there will be no forgetting his performance – just look at the final scenes of Dot and Bubble. He and co-star Millie Gibson won over fans globally, bringing something new to every single episode.

It’s an interesting time for Doctor Who, as the show’s future with Disney remains uncertain. But, perhaps more than any other series, it’'s built to survive. And, 61 years later, sitting in front of the telly on a Saturday night and knowing you’ve got a very big adventure ahead of you in the TARDIS is still one of the greatest joys in the world of TV."
