First things first, you notice how I still say "so far" well that is because of course, despite perhaps me treating the Doctor Falls as the Series 10 finale, the final episode is in fact the Christmas Special this, well, Christmas. My prediction of the Master finishing in fifth was obviously quite unrealistic. I suspected that he could do it for two reasons. Firstly he is in more episodes and screentime by 45 minutes of the series. Secondly I suspected that the two part finale would all be about him and Missy. I was of course wrong and my opinion on the finale can be seen in my review. Missy did end up fourth finally, using this episode to get her in that place. She is only 7 lines ahead of Grant, so it was very close. The Master is 15 short of Grant, with the Doctor Falls making him rise from 7th to 6th. The episode did not make newcomer enter the Top 10 but did make Missy and the Master change places by both of them moving up one. Excluding the four recurring characters of the series, Knock Knock still manages to win in terms of guest characters with three of the top 10 being from exclusively from that serial. They are however at the bottom of the top 10. Return of the Doctor Mysterio still does an incredible spot with Grant Gordon remaining fifth despite being in only one episode and Lucy Lambert still in a comfortable 7th. Little is known about the last episode of series 10 in terms of cast but I think we can be safe to say that the 1st Doctor will probably enter the top 10, therefore Harry is almost certainly not going to remain in the top 10 by the end of it. I do believe that Shireen and higher are now safe. In terms of the episode individually, the Master ends up in second place resulting in what I believe to be the first time of Bill not being in the top two positions.

I will be overlooking the series so far and the line counts soon.
