Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways (2005) Season 1, Episode 13

Excellent conclusion, and the Daleks are still as entertaining as they were in 1963

[15 June 2007]

Ever since their very first appearance in the second story of season one way back in 1963, the Daleks have remained the most entertaining, compelling, and frightening of the Doctor Who villains. This fantastic season 1 (or 27 depending how you see it) conclusion is nothing more than further proof of this. Eccleston is a terrific actor and he was a good doctor who is missed, though Tennant is every bit as good if not better. All in all this is a massively entertaining season finale that I doubt could've been done any better. Eccleston made an excellent doctor and will be remembered as one of the better Doctors. A satisfying end to Eccleston's short but memorable reign.
