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...

BARBARA AND IAN. Look at their very first scene together and tell me they're not in love. Just try it. I dare you.
Also, that beautifully eerie shot of Susan dancing alone in the classroom, and "I like walking through the dark. It's mysterious." They really did an excellent job of establishing her as strange and otherworldly.
The very first introduction to the TARDIS ever! Ian harping on and on about how it was just a police box! Barbara being all, "Yes, thank you, Ian, we're past that, can we discuss letting us out now kthx."
And finally, William Hartnell in all his cranky glory as One. Such a brilliant episode.
