doyle | Old School Doctor Who Episodes Love Meme

I've run memes like this before for companions and for ships (and I'm trying to dig up links to those) and decided it might be fun to try one for all the episodes of old school Doctor Who. In the comments are threads for every story from An Unearthly Child to The TV Movie (actually, The Curse of Fatal Death, because I couldn't leave Lumley Doc out); reply to these comments with what you loved about the episode, whether it's favourite lines, moments, squee for the rubbish dinosaurs, character love, shippiness, screencap picspam, or just 'best episode ever'. No harshing others' squee, please - there are 160 serials linked, there must be some you loved... Loving on stories generally derided by fandom is positively encouraged.

For some help navigating, this wiki page has the serials in order.

If any have been missed, feel free to stick them on at the end - I've just realised The Myth Makers isn't there...

NYSSA! The scene in your icon, the little kiss! When she tells Tegan she's leaving, in the background, and Tegan keeps trying to go tell the Doctor and Nyssa keeps pulling her back. TEGAN/TURLOUGH!

More Turlough, this time given a choice. I love the sets and setting for Enlightenment, and the awkward relationship between Tegan and Marriner.

I still can't quite believe that line where Five, looking at the large bed, remarks to Tegan "that's one way of keeping warm".

The actors tried their best to keep straight faces. There's Five on his downward spiral into darkness, belying that weird fandom "fluffy puppy" image of him. And that final line was most memorable.

I've always loved this one, cheesy aliens and all. More Turlough backstory (sort of), death by hatstand, and Five in glasses. :)

Grounded in more canon than anything else, and possibly the wankiest thing in classic canon. It is great because the Doctor learns more about himself and his habit of misjudging people. It's lovely and sad.

A lot better than people give it credit for. And no, the Doctor did not push that guy. LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE! People who criticize this story as being too violent completely miss the point of the story.

I love the cheesy romantic subplot in this one, because does what's-his-name follow telly convention and realise he should dump the beautiful alien queen for Ray, the sweet girl next door who's loved him from afar all this time? Does he hell.
