Episodes needing reception

Pretty much everything needs a Who is the Doctor review, and many early ones need Now Playing. Those which need other reception ([http://www.avclub.com/tv/doctor-who/?season=1 AV Club], [http://www.ign.com/tv/doctor-who/2 IGN], find SFX, [http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/tag/doctor-who/ Slant Magazine], [http://www.radiotimes.com/blog/doctor-who-story-guide Radio Times], occasional Digital Spy, and [http://web.archive.org/web/20060717223911/http://www.nowplayingmag.com/content/category/7/99/47/ Now Playing] for series 1 and 2, [http://blogs.thestage.co.uk/tvtoday/2007/04/ The Stage] for series 3-?):
