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...

I've always loved this one, cheesy aliens and all. More Turlough backstory (sort of), death by hatstand, and Five in glasses. :)

I cannot wait to see this. I have seen pictures of the hat-stand incident and now long so very much to see it for reals.

"No one expects you to go back there."
"Of course not. I'm Turlough."

Oh BLESS.

Great story, and even greater use of a hatstand! XD

Frontios is the story that turned me into a Doctor Who Fan. No, seriously. I borrowed the four videos the library had in - Mind of Evil, Power of Kroll, Awakening and this. Mind of Evil was great, but a few days later, Power of Kroll nearly made me give up then and there. I enjoyed Awakening (watching it immediately after), and then, straight away, I watched Frontios...

And by the end of the day I was a Fan. (And a Fivey and Turlough fangirl, to boot!) There is just SO MUCH TO LOVE!

Hatstand XD
