Old School Doctor Who Episodes Love Meme

[doyle]

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...

*tries not to go all One/Ian in this comment*

There's a moment in the second episode of An Unearthly Child after Ian, Barbara and Susan have found the tribe and the Doctor. They are attacked and one of the men (Kal?) is about to kill Ian when the Doctor yells, "If you harm him, there will be no fire!"

Even though the Doctor is aggravated at the intrusion into his life, and is obviously irritated with these humans, he's still very protective of them. ♥

CAVEMAN POLITICS!

I'm sorry, I can't imagine not loving that, although I may be the only one who does. Also! It's preachy and kind of hilarious at points, but I love Ian's speech about dissemination of knowledge being the key to survival.
