The Eruditorum Press Doctor Who Poll: 364-201

And with the introductory sections done we finally get to things that at least two people voted for. This’ll be the last day to be overwhelmingly non-televised material as well. 

363: Doctor Who and the Fangs of Time (2 Point, 2 Non-Televised)

Wait, wasn’t this on yesterday’s list? Yes, briefly, until I noticed that in addition to the person who had entered the title as “Doctor Who and the Fangs of Doom” there was someone who’d voted for it correctly, meaning that it got two points and that I had to renumber half the damn entry. So this gets put last among the two-pointers because I now literally hate it more than anything that isn’t The Celestial Toymaker. 

362. Cuddlesome (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

One voter specified the Audio-Visuals version. While it would have been funny to put the story in the 120-way tie twice because of that, I didn’t.

361. They Say (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

Wack’d was sad yesterday that the bulk of his votes for stories by lyricwritesprose were in the big messy 121-way tie, so for the record, apparently “A Problem of Background,” “Boxing Day,” “Lies Told to Children,” and “See Ye Not That Bonny Road” are also good. (Addendum: Apparently Wack’d wasn’t one of the voters for this one.)

360. Because We Want To (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

I’d somehow never seen this before. It’s genuinely astonishing how much of the Russell T Davies era is accurately anticipated by it.

359: Borrowed Time (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

One vote specified that this was for the novel. The other didn’t, and there’s technically a comic story with the same title, but I’m going to guess they meant the novel too.

358: Fear of the Dark (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

357: The Feast of the Drowned (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

356: The Fourth Wall (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

Nobody specified whether they meant the Big Finish story or the comic story, but as I remember banging on to someone or other about how obvious an idea using the Boneless in comics was, I decided it gets to be the comics story.

355: The Red Lady (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

354: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

353: The Two Masters (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

343: Sympathy for the Devil (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

342: Prisoner of the Daleks (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

I was more than slightly releived, when Googling for the link there, that I was wrong and this was not the Dalek porn thing, which is called Abducted by the Daleks.

341: Phobos (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

340: Deimos/The Resurrection of Mars (2 Points, 2 Non-Televised)

312: Dragons of the Mind (2 Points, 1 Non-Televised)

Chris Chibnall’s best placing. So that’s a vote of confidence in the future of the show.
