We're Heading For The Biggest Bang in History!

As I'm sure you all know this year is Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary. And like many of you are probably doing I'm embarking on a rewatch marathon.

Although I've been a fan for 24 years I haven't seen every single story (Even if we discount the missing Hartnell and Troughton's). In The Wilderness Years when the show wasn't on air, I didn't mind so much because the way I saw it there was still New To Me Doctor Who to be had. Now the series has come back and they're all out on DVD I've done a lot of catching up but I still haven't seen all the stories. So this year I'm making it my mission to watch every single Doctor Who story in time for the anniversary. Whether I'll succeed or not I don't know, there are only so many hours in the day after all but I'm going to jolly well try.

My re-watch list isn't a straightforward An Unearthly Child through to The Snowmen and beyond. It is vaguely in order but what I decided to do was concentrate first on stories I hadn't seen or stories I hadn't seen in a long time and thought needed an evaluation and to do that in order from Hartnell to Tennant and then sweep back and pick up all the stories that didn't make it in the first run and then end with all of Matt Smith's episodes. I'm also going to watch the Peter Cushing movies, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures along the way. I'm probably not going to watch K9, although if I get through it all and November is still a way off then it could happen!

The list is below. Trust me, it makes sense to me and that's all that counts. I'll cross them off as I make progress. All those marked with a star are stories that I'd never seen prior before prior to 2013.
