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...

No love?

Yeah, it's shonky and duuuuuuull a lot of the time. But it's chocker with Nyssa/Tegan and Doctor/Master subtext, particularly episode 2, as I picspammed about (http://ionlylurkhere.livejournal.com/18951.html#cutid1) after watching the DVD.

Tegan got home. And the first thing the Doctor wanted to do on stepping out of the TARDIS was to read the cricket scores in the newspaper!

I know it doesn't get a lot of love, but it's cracktastic! And it's FULL of subtext - sod it, full of TEXT - like ionlylurkhere says ^_^

The Master kisses the TARDIS!
