The Least Favourite catagory was not to determine "hated" stories, I didn't really hate any story done, I just felt that in a season, there is a show whose production/acting/story, etc, made it not as good as the other shows that season. In some cases, that was picking an '8' out of a group of '9's and '10's (The twelth season, for example.) There was hardly ever any real consensus for the worst story in a season, the only decisive winner was "Power of Kroll." Of the stories with 10 or more "best in a season" votes, only "Earthshock" is not in the top 10 of the "Best story ever" votes, which are still being tabulated. (If you haven't voted, do so now! The votes will be tabulated 5 February, and posted shortly after that!)

In reference to the best/worst series poll, it seems that there is a lot
of disagreement about what people like in the series!
