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 love this story. Herbert needed to be a companion!!!

I second that. Herbert would have been such a perfect companion!

I second that as well! I kept wishing he could join the TARDIS team :)

This is definitely in my top five favorite DW episodes of all time. So much crack -- and tinsel in the timelash!

I enjoyed Herbert waaaaay too much and kept thinking, "So, why can't he be made a companion??" He was so ridiculous and enthusiastic ♥ And madly in love with Six, obviously.

And this episode really cemented my love for Peri; just before watching this episode I saw Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe and the whole time I was saying, "But where's Peri? I think I miss Peri!" and then eventually switching to this episode and I was very "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S PERI!!!"

Also, I have a massive adoration for Three and Jo, so I about killed myself with all the squee this episode gave me -- I mean, crack!painting of Three and a locket with Jo's picture? And Peri recognized her!! This means that Six likes to reminisce over past companions!! (or maybe just the ones he was in love with < /diehard 3/Jo shipper>, and "I seem to recall I was always fond of Jamie," in The Two Doctors. CANON TRUFAX.)

So yes, watching this episode the first time brought me an enormous amount of joy, and therefore it has a very, very special place in my heart.
