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...

"How dare you! Do you realise, you stupid old man, that you'd have died in the Cave of Skulls if Ian hadn't made fire for you?
And what about what we went through against the Daleks? Not just for us but for you and Susan too. And all because you tricked us into going down to the city. Accuse us? You ought to go down on your hands and knees and thank us. Gratitude's the last thing you'll ever have, or any sort of common sense either!"

Barbara is magnificent.

Funny how little the Doctor changes over the whole series, in some ways (especially re: common sense!)

That SPEECH. About the birth of a sun. I was so riveted.

Susan is seriously scary in this one. (And she and Doctor cling to each other a lot. Yay!) Also, first time the TARDIS demonstrates that there's a bit more to it than, well, a box with fancy equipment.

And of course Barbara is awesome, and then the Doctor offers his arm first to her and then to Ian and Susan throws a snowball at Barbara, which is too cute for words.
