The Scores On The (TARDIS) Doors...

ERA 3.32

With my review of The Two Doctors this morning, I have finished reviewing all of the Sixth Doctors televised adventures (to date) and am able to tally his Enjoyment Ratings Average for his run in the TARDIS as 3.32 out of five.

The highlight of his adventures, for me, was Revelation Of The Daleks, while the low-point was The Ultimate Foe, the final chapter of Trial Of A Time Lord.

For those who haven't noticed, in the right hand column of HeroPress, I rate every TV episode I review on a one to five scale (five being the highest).

This subjective score records how much I enjoyed the show - not necessarily how good it was! - and allows me to conjure average scores for seasons etc

There's a slightly more detailed explanation back in July, 2008: It's A Numbers Game.

I have to stress that this isn't a very scientific method as (is obvious to anyone with a basic grasp of mathematics and statistics) The Doctors who appear in more episodes tend to find their ERA's "averaging" out while those who appear in less are more capable of hitting higher scores overall (or lower - in the case of the unfortunate Eighth Doctor).

Anyway, to put The Sixth Doctor's ERA into some form of context here are The Eighth (who has only appeared once on television) and The Ninth Doctors' scores. Come the New Year - after The End Of Time (part two) - I'll be able to give The Tenth Doctor his score as well.

ERA 3.65

ERA 2.5

It's all just a bit of meaningless, harmless fun - but what can I say, I'm a stats geek!
