Season 2 - Ranking and Stats

Doctor Who - Season Two (1964/65)
31 October 1964 - 24 July 1965

After a successful first season, Doctor Who returned for a second season later in 1965, bigger and better than ever. Here I've ranked the episodes of Hartnell's second and best season. Click on the episodes to see the full reviews.

1. The Time Meddler (10/10)
2. The Romans (10/10)
3. The Rescue (9/10)
4. The Space Museum (9/10)
5. The Chase (8.5/10)
6. Planet of Giants (8/10)
7. The Dalek Invasion of Earth (7/10)
8. The Web Planet (2/10)

N/A. The Crusade (?/10)

Unfortunately The Crusade is missing, but from the remaining episodes I'm sure it would be up in the top three of the season.

Averaging these out means Season Two has an average rating of...                    7.94/10

And a range of                                                                                                        8.0

If it wasn't for The The Web Planet, my least favourite episode of Doctor Who... ever, Season Two would have an average of 8.79/10 which is an astoundingly high score!

From my ratings we can see Season Two had:
2 Perfect Episodes (10/10)
2 Amazing Episodes (9+/10)
2 Great Episodes (8+/10)
1 Good Episode (7+/10)
1 Terrible Episode (2+/10)

Now for the graph!

As you can see, because of The Web Planet's abnormally low score only two episodes fall below the average.

Comparison

As we're only two seasons into Doctor Who, not much can be compared, but we can see Season Two has a higher average than Season One.

1. Season Two - 7.94/10
2. Season One - 7.79/10

But on the terms of range, Season One is much more consistent with its episodes, with a range lower than Season Two. (Remember: the lower the range, the more consistent the series)

1. Season One - 5.5
2. Season Two - 8
