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...

Autons! My favourite DW monster! In all their original creepy glory!

Apart from The Five Doctors, this was my first Classic serial. Love it, from Three's theft of his clothes to the introduction of my lovely Liz.

That's a wonderful icon - is it by any chance gackable (for credit and gratitude?)

Yeah, go ahead. It's by me.

Cool - thank you so much! I've been looking for a good Brig/ Liz icon for ages.

There's 4 more good ones in the Liz/Brig rare ship post (http://community.livejournal.com/who_otp/169343.html). :)

Shower scene. And the Doctor cuddling his shoes.

I love this serial. All of it, from the first conversation between Liz and the Brig to the Doctor requesting a roadster as part of his 'salary'. Really rather creepy Autons, completely Unexpected Naked Doctor, and Liz and the Doctor hiding in the wax museum just make it even better.

Liz, snarking at the Brig. Three immediately forming a Scientist Club with Liz and making the Brig go away. Three making faces at himself in the mirror. Three pouting because the Brig won't let him keep the car he stole.

And the Brig, now a regular, hooray!

Three spends the whole thing alternating between comatose and batshit crazy. When he finally stabilizes, he gets caught up in tentacle porn. Yay.

I know I am coming to the party like...ridiculously late. But I was just reading through comments and this made me laugh so hard there are tears. Actual tears. You have officially written the single greatest description of this episode EVER. Bravo, my friend. Bravo.

A bit slow at first, but it's a regen eppie. Once the Doctor's out and about, the story moves along at a good, solid clip. More faceless monsters--very scary. UNIT is back. Good!
