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...

The new version is so much better than the old one. Still, Brig! Benton! UNIT! All awesome. Would have liked to have seen more of the computer stuff like this in the Third Doctor era.

That shot of the Cybermen marching down the street is still breath-taking. The Cybermen are much more frightening than Daleks, any road. The encounter scenes in the tunnels remind me of the better D&D campaigns that I played in, back in the day. The fear of the unknown is perfectly realized in the writing and acting and directing and photography.

Zoe in the boa and Isobel who writes on walls -- those micro-mini-dresses were wild! But it is what many young ladies were wearing. :)
