7) The 15th Anniversary

Doctor Who’s 15th anniversary wasn’t really marked with anything particular, so points off for that. But you know what’s a really good story that aired during the run up? “The Stones of Blood.” It rules! It’s got creepy stones that thirst for blood and smush people! It’s got weird space Celtic nonsense! That’s some good Doctor Who right there. And what’s a better birthday present than good Doctor Who?
