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...

Ian/Barbara FTW! Lots of alone time in the villa, they must have been up to something! ;)

I go by the assumption that of course they were up to something. Is there any use denying it? :)

I love The Romans for being so wonderfully shippy.

Complete and utter love! This is my favorite First Doctor serial so far (maybe one I haven't yet seen will be even better). Just a few quick mentions of elements I especially liked: Barbara mussing up Ian's hair so he'd look like a proper Roman, the Doctor "playing" the lyre and of course forgetting his pseudonym, the fire, all the near misses at Nero's.

Vicki squees and is wonderfully sly and Ian and Barbara wrestling over the comb is the greatest thing. XD Also, you can totally see One and Vicki hiding in the shadows behind the set after they "leave for Rome."
