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 serial is special to me for two reasons -
1.) Being the first serial for Tegan, who I love dearly and identify with somewhat more strongly than is healthy and
2.) For being the serial which finally persuaded my best friend that Slash is not always in my mind. The glorious moment with the Doctor and the Master grappling on the catwalk of the radio telescope where they really really look like they're snogging (I looked for a screenshot but was thwarted in my plans) finally broke her and opened her eyes to the wonderful world of slash.

Ok, so they're really shallow reasons, but shhhh! It's also a great serial, and the collaboration, however short lived, between the Doctor and the Master really helps highlight that they had once been friends.

I love the Master's 'hurrah, BFFs again!' arm around the Doctor's shoulders and Four angrily shoving him off.
