TARDIS on the Welsh coast as Ruby embarked on the strangest journey of her life. It definitely dived headfirst into Welsh folk horror, and saw Ruby having to reckon with a woman in the distance who kept watching her.<\/p>\n<p>The storyline was recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-finale-73-yards-clue-newsupdate\/\">revisited in the season finale<\/a>, Empire of Death, but it\u2019s safe to say that the episode left quite the impression on viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Previously speaking to\u00a0<strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, showrunner Russell T Davies revealed more about the mystery villain at the heart of 73 Yards, saying: \u201cEpisode 4 has got possibly the strangest villain you\u2019ll ever see. You have to come and watch \u2013 even in an interview like this, it\u2019s hard to describe. You\u2019ve got to come and watch episode 4 to understand what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p> <p>As for the rest of the season 14 episodes, coming in at second place was Boom, the third episode of the run that was written by returning Steven Moffat and saw the Doctor stuck in quite the nail-biting explosive scenario.<\/p>\n<p>In third position, with 14% of the vote, was sixth episode Rogue, which guest starred Jonathan Groff. The Regency-era episode also boasted the likes of Indira Varma and Paul Forman and, at the time of its 7-day figures being released, had achieved an impressive season high.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of poll results are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>73 Yards \u2013 1,290 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Boom \u2013 1,040 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Rogue \u2013 595 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dot and Bubble \u2013 487 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Legend of Ruby Sunday \u2013 374 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Devil\u2019s Chord \u2013 217 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Empire of Death \u2013 127 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Space Babies \u2013 37 votes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Where did your favourite finish?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctor Who season 14 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Previous seasons are available to stream on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/b006q2x0\/doctor-who\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/audio\/podcasts\/\"><strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The votes are in! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53840,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14.jpg",2048,1366,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14-1536x1025.jpg",1536,1025,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-fans-name-best-episode-of-season-14.jpg",2048,1366,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The votes are in!","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53839"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
