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...

Re: Mission to the Unknown (& The Myth Makers)

Oddly enough, this was my first One-era episode and he wasn't in it! I liked it though -- it was an intriguing little scene-setter, and I think it's cool that it didn't lead immediately into The Daleks' Master Plan, instead just dropping hints of things to come before distracting us with doings in ancient Troy.

Since The Myth Makers is missing in its slot here, and I recently listened to it for the first time, I'll put in a word for it too! I got a kick out of the way Team TARDIS managed to seed more than one myth -- I hadn't expected the title would be so literal!
