Can it really B 10 or so months since our last foray into the (very) occasional series of posts examining the haphazard world of Doctor Who Production Coding. To re-cap the classic series used letter codes for each story which started with A (for An Unearthly Child) and ran to 7Q (Ghost Light). ‘I’ was never used, ‘O’ and ‘U’ sparingly, but as for the rest…
And the Tour followed, even extended this into nu-Who all the way forward to Whittaker and will continue to do so with Gatwa and beyond. It’s also happens to be an incredibly handy way to sort stories. Previous stops in this ramshackle series included stops at ‘B,’ ‘L,’ ‘R,’ and ‘X.’
| E | The Keys of Marinus | Even a cursory glance at the list demonstrates what a killer group this is. The Keys of Marinus is at the very least an intertesting experiment, but then there are the stone -cold classics such as The Power of the Daleks, Terror of the Autons, and Genesis of the Daleks. And that’s just inn te ‘classic’ realm.
In the ‘modern’ era The Doctor’s Wife was a highlight of the Smith era and, of course by acclimation, everyone loves themselves The Day of the Doctor. And was there ever a more singular story for the Capaldi era, or any other for that matter, than Heaven Sent?

E-gad. The Tour really needs to pick up the pace on these little forays. At this rate the Tour might be celebrating its own 60th Anniversary by the time the A has been to Zed.
