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...

This episode reminds me of two things.

1. Christmas Day - I first saw this on Christmas Day when I was about 13. I'd gotten it on video as a present.

2. Pepperoni pizza - I recently rewatched the story and was eating a pizza when I did. Mmmm. I can still taste it now.

I like the look of the Exxillons. The friendly one was pretty cool. He should have joined the TARDIS crew. I'm imagining a very strange version of the rest of season 11 now.
