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...

Monky Monk Monk!

The Monk's numbered steps in his plan, culminating on "Meet King Harold". All that just for an autograph...

I love the Monk. I love his giant extension cord running from the TARDIS so he can use his toaster in 1066. I love that his motivations are more or less "I done it for the lols". And in the 60s that reveal that he has a TARDIS must have been like Yana producing the pocket watch...

It was a moment that made me wish I had been there, watching at the time it aired, because that must have been a delicious shocker.

Also notable for One's TARDIS tour: "That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy!"

Vicki and Steven having that whispered conversation about how they suppose history would change without anybody noticing is one of the greatest scenes on the show ever. I absolutely love it.

I love this serial so much! My first episode with Steven and with Vicky. They were both so adorable, and One completely Pwned! Also, the Monk has to one of my most favorite one-time character ever.
