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...

The best of the multi-Doctor stories, if only because Two and Three are like a nattering couple that's been divorced and then forced to go on holiday with each other. This is the kind of serial that tempts me to go search for Doctor/Doctor slash even though I know that I really have no desire to read it.

Also, the Brig is awesome in his befuddlement about Two's reappearance.

"Well not so much one of them as one of use. One of me to be precise."

"Oh no no no! I'm sorry my dear, I hate to be contrary, but I can see he's a little bit confused, poor old chap, and I do feel you should have the correct explanation, you don't mind do you?"

"Yes."

"I didn't think you would. You see Jo, I may call you Jo, mayn't I? He is one of me."

"Well, Benton? Aren't you going to say it's bigger on the inside than on the outside? Everyone else does."
"That's pretty obvious, isn't it?"

Two and Three's double act is one of the most awesome things ever.

I love the wonderful chemistry between Two and Three, Jo's usual adorableness as well as the Brig and Benton being generally awesome.

Not sure if it was its intention, but this is one of the FUNNIEST episodes ever! Three and Two's double-act, Benton's reaction to the TARDIS, the Brig's, "I'm sure that's Cromer!" bit, and the monster is referred to as 'THE ORGANISM THING'. Oh, Three Doctors, ILU.
