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...

I saw this one for the very first time this past weekend and made a huge recap.

My favourite part has got to be Barbara telling the Daleks about the plan to overthrow them, by mentioning red Indians and the Boston Tea Party. Watch and learn how to lie to your unfrendly alien invaders, Rose!

One of my favourite serials; there's an interesting storyline for all the characters, Susan and David's romance is incredibly sweet and believable, the atmosphere is very creepy and well done, and the end really gets to me.

Great atmosphere, Susan and David are adorable, and the ending is heartbreaking.

And Barbara mows down Daleks in a big truck!

Daleks! In London!
... about says it all really. That was just extra cool.
Hero in a wheelchair... sorta. Accessibility of London landmarks as a source of high tension.
Barbara crunching through Daleks in a really big truck.
Ian saves the world with wood.
... and Susan decides to go off and build a world. With incidental bonus boyfriend. Yep, that's how I remember it...
