'Radio Times' TV Review 0f 2020


That venerable publishing colossus, 
Christmas perennial, and loyal Doctor 
Who supporter, the Radio Times, has revealed the results of their annual,
multi-channel survey. Their top forty shows of the year have again been
elected by the magazine's critics, and Jodie Whittaker's second season
has been placed at a respectable number thirty-four. RT writer Huw
Fullerton comments:

34. Doctor Who

After Jodie Whittaker's first series put an emphasis on all-new monsters and stories, her second run did an abrupt volte-face, bringing back a host of familiar villains and adding new twists as the Time Lord faced a deeply personal challenge.
If the shock return of the Master (played by a scenery-chewing Sacha Dhawan) in the very first episode and a comeback for the Judoon and the Cybermen weren’t enough, series 12’s fifth episode – which saw a surprise new incarnation of the Doctor, played by Jo Martin, unmasked – blew us all away. We can only imagine how they’re going to top it in the (now-filming) series 13.
