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 episode! I love Mel! So incredably 80s that no one should be allowed to get away with it, yet Doctor Who manages!

ICE HOT, DOCTOR!

Super fun: over-the-top with a plot that falls apart with the lightest puff of air, but a terrific premise for the characters to shine in. THE KANGS, MY GOD, THE KANGS - gangs of (hot), tough women who have developed their own speech patterns, fight by codes of honour and go "what are boys?" OMG.

I love the idea of an architect who can't stand having people interact with his buildings. Of course, rendered as a bizarre neon light, he loses a bit of impact, but the idea is cool. And I've never been able to get "alleviator" out of my head since I first saw it.
