Doctor Who might be a science-fiction series, but its episodes span many genres. The various incarnations of The Doctor and their companions travel the universe, interacting with a vast array of monsters and aliens, and exploring different time periods and planets. The shows’ design gives it the freedom to be whatever it wants while remaining true to its center.

This gives viewers the chance to enjoy their favorite show, even if they are in the mood for a specific genre. There are dark, intense, ‘behind the sofa” episodes, and also funny, light-hearted ones. There are even episodes that hit the spot for fans craving romance, thrillers, or a tragedy.

10 In The Mood For Romance – “The Girl In The Fireplace”

The season 2 episode “The Girl In The Fireplace,” gives viewers the Casanova Doctor and all the tragic romance that comes with him. The Tenth Doctor, Rose, and Mickey find themselves on a spaceship, with time windows bridging the vessel to pre-revolutionary France; more specifically, time windows stalking the life of Madame de Pompadour.

The Doctor finds himself risking everything to save the woman who wishes to see the stars, enamored by her bravery and compassion.

9 Christmas Cheer Any Time Of Year – “A Christmas Carol”

Feeling festive before the tree goes up? “A Christmas Carol,” is a beautiful episode filled with wonder that is an especially wholesome Christmas-themed watch.

When The Doctor needs to save Amy and Rory from a nose-diving spaceliner, the man who controls the clouds refuses to help him. It becomes The Doctor’s mission to give hope to the man whose heart is broken and whose memories are bitter, not only to save his friends but to save lost love.

8 In The Mood For A Thriller – “Heaven Sent”

The season 9 episode “Heaven Sent,” is an immersive masterpiece of the time loop trope. It’s impressive, intense, and satisfying. Viewers find themselves fearful, emotional, confused, and thrilled.

When The Twelfth Doctor finds himself trapped in an isolated castle and pursued by a nightmare, there is nothing he can do but run. The Doctor is a survivor, even if that means dying in order to keep going.

7 Wanting A Little Less Time Travel & A Lot More Space Travel – “Oxygen”

The season 10 episode, “Oxygen,” is a trapped in space nightmare come true. The Doctor, Bill, and Nardole find themselves facing zombies, spacesuits, and fighting for their next breath.

For viewers who love space movies such as Life (2017), Gravity (2013), and Stowaway (2021), this episode pays homage to characters facing an inescapable threat in closed quarters and their battle to hold on to their precious link to life – oxygen.

6 Looking For A Tragic Tear Starter – “Father’s Day”

Rose Tyler’s father died when she was a baby after he was the victim of a hit and run. In the season 1 episode “Father’s Day,” Rose asks The Doctor if they can go back in time and see him so she can have the opportunity to be by his side in his heartbreaking final moments.

But in a second of impulse, Rose saves him. Her actions cause a wound in time and it’s sadly one that puts everyone’s lives in danger.

5 A Tense & Unsettling Psychological Viewing – “Midnight”

Unsettling things can be small: small changes in behavior, small details, small silences. In the case of one of the best episodes in season 4, “Midnight,” it’s Sky Silvestry’s piercing blue eyes that are a small yet unsettling detail. The Midnight entity’s true shape is unknown.

It first repeats then speaks in synchronization. Then it steals the voice of its victims. “Midnight,” shows how human interactions stemming from fear are easily influenced, disoriented, and vulnerable.

4 A Whole Lot Wonderful – “The Eleventh Hour”

The Eleventh Doctor’s first episode, “The Eleventh Hour,” introduces viewers to their newest Doctor in a magnificently energetic way. It’s a lighthearted watch after the heavy and emotionally draining specials that marked the final moments of The Tenth Doctor.

The Eleventh Doctor eats fish fingers and custard, meets a young and grown-up Amelia Pond, and warms up his new incarnation. It’s a little weird, a little whacky, and a whole lot wonderful.

3 In The Mood To Be Spooked – “Hide”

Old mansions, candlelight, and ghost stories. These horror movie tropes are well-loved for a reason. In the season 7 episode “Hide,” The Doctor and Clara find themselves in the midst of a ghost hunt.

It’s an episode with a psychic, a psychologist, unaligned time streams, and a haunting atmosphere. But don’t worry, it’s not Doctor Who without a science-fiction twist, and where there is The Doctor, aliens are never too far behind.

2 Craving Quirky & Comedic Company – “The Unicorn & The Wasp”

“There’s a murder, a mystery, and Agatha Christie.” For fans of the mystery novelist Agatha Christie, the 1920s, and the game Clue, this episode is the one to watch when feeling like an unconventional comedic mystery. What’s so comedic? The Doctor and Donna comedic dialogue.

What’s so unconventional but conventional of Doctor Who? The suspect is an alien. The season 4 episode “The Unicorn and The Wasp” revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Agatha Christie.

1 In The Mood For A Classic – “Genesis Of The Daleks”

Sometimes the only Doctor Who episode that will do, is the nostalgia satiating Classics. The season 12 Classic Who episode “Genesis of The Daleks,” is one of the most memorable in Doctor Who’s history. Featuring The Daleks, Davros, The Doctor, and Sarah Jane Smith, it’s a story that many Whovians know well.

The season 21 episode “The Caves of Androzani” is also a much loved Classic Who episode that shows The Fifth Doctor at his best. And for viewers wanting to go as far back as possible, the very first episode of Doctor Who history, “The Unearthly Child,” is always waiting.
