The first ever Doctor Who Worldwide reader awards have been held, with well over three thousand votes cast across six categories, including favourite episode from Series 9, best actor and actress and all time favourite Doctor.

Carried out via Twitter, there were some surprising (and some not so surprising) results.

Favourite Series 9 Episode

Winner: Heaven Sent

After initial polls to whittle down the contenders to three final entrants, Heaven Sent romped home with 63% of the vote.

Favourite Series 9 Actor

Winner: Peter Capaldi

A result that was never really in doubt, leading man Peter Capaldi trounced even his nearest competitor with ease.

Favourite Series 9 Actress

Winner: Jenna Coleman

Despite a brave challenge from Michelle Gomez, former Clara actress Jenna Coleman was declared your favourite actress from Series 9, winning 45% of the vote.

Favourite Series 9 Writer

Winner: Steven Moffat

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss advanced to the final after winning their respective first round polls, but it was the head honcho who came through, winning with some comfort on 79% of the vote.

Favourite Series 9 Director

Winner: Rachel Talalay

Another poll where there was little contest, Rachel Talalay defeating Hettie MacDonald with 79% of the vote in the final round of our favourite director poll, having directed both Heaven Sent and Hell Bent.

The Obligatory Favourite Ever Doctor Poll

Winner: Peter Capaldi

It was close and well fought, but Peter Capaldi won out to be declared our readers favourite ever Doctor!

Tom Baker expectedly won the favourite 1960s/1970s Doctor poll

And Peter Davison romped home with 42% of the vote to win in the 1980s/1990s category

But it was the post-2005 ongoing series category that saw the fiercest competition, with David Tennant winning until an hour before polls closed, Peter Capaldi coming from behind to snatch the victory with 38% of the vote

Peter would go on to defeat both Tom Baker and Peter Davison to be declared the overall winner and your favourite Doctor of all time!

Congratulations to all our winners and a big thank you to all our readers who took part, voted, shared and made the contest a lot of fun! Here’s to a new yearly tradition!
