I asked to do Top 10s rather than Top 20s for these articles because the plan is to do six of them by the Sixtieth anniversary, so sixty stories listed in total. However I could easily have done a top 20 here.
I wrote an article looking at what happens when the Doctor fails for Den of Geek. The starting point was Moffat putting the Doctor into a heroic position and then undermining that (strange that other Doctors only get to do the heroic speeches at conventions), and it developed from there into a more detailed look at how to use failure dramatically in the show.

Den of Geek asked me to write an article ranking every single companion departure ever, so I did. It sounded fun, such a gratuitous piece of clickbait but simultaneously something that could show a different perspective on the history of Doctor Who.
And so it proved. I simply listed every companion who left (which included characters who filled that role for one or two episodes on the basis that it would be interesting to write about them too, even if they only filled the role for a limited time) and wrote about their exit, then ranked them afterwards. Don't get too distracted by the rankings, even though they're right.
