Although I have already told you my big favourites, in these coming articles I will be going in depth on all my favourite episodes, doctor's companions etc... as well as my least favourite episodes, doctor's and companions etc... I will also be mostly splitting them up into classic and new who, maybe even involving spin offs or even you... (as I may decide to do polls but not sure). Anyway we'll start off with My top 5 classic stories, there are so many great one's it's really hard to choose, but this is what I've decided. Please bear in mind I haven't seen all classics but have been lucky enough to see most (see episode guide). Enjoy... 5) The daemons. As the title suggests this story is strongly about demons and dark things like that therefore we already know it's quite a spooky and dark story, all of which are helped a lot by the effects and cast. Also I love the resolution to this story which will definitely remain one of my favourites visually. Also the fact this is last in the season means that we have quite a good happy ending of the doctor dancing around a maypole.... aww... 4) The deadly assassin. Quite and important story in the world of Doctor who. It features our first proper look at the time lords since 'The war games' as well as being a rare story where the doctor doesn't have any companions and this story showed excellently what the doctor was like without companions creating one of the most scariest stories in all of doctor who, especially those scenes in the matrix. Suspense filled and exiting as well as a great cast and locations make a thrilling story! 3) Dalek invasion of Earth. Our second ever story featuring the Daleks and it is just perfect. Usually stories like this (6 parts) get really boring but this story uses every second to it's advantage. The cast really help but the effects are what really stands out. We have some huge set's as well as excellent locations. Also the Daleks are really menacing and scary which I think they have kind of lost now and mainly only appear to please fan's. Finally, the London locations like Trafalgar Square have created some of the most memorable scenes ever! 2) Carnival of monsters. The episode that surprised me most. I was expecting it to be another dull story where we are just bombarded with cardboard monsters. But I was really shocked to see a well paced, creative story full of excellent characters and brilliant monsters as well as a brilliant cast of characters. The fact the plot is so simple (set in a box) yet could become so big (we go to a boat as well as the home of the Drashig's all in this box) also I love the idea how this box is a futuristic circus, it's complete genius! 1) City of death. What an excellent episode, full of comedy as well as suspense. In my opinion Tom Bakers best ever performance in doctor who with the dynamic and friendship bouncing between him and Romana helping to this. The plot is also brilliant with excellent locations such as the Eiffel Tower. Also the villain is great too and played perfectly. Just overall such a great episode where everything's perfect and definitely deserves the title of having the highest viewing records of any classic story. Notable mentions include; The keys of Marinus, The web of fear, Frontier in space, Terror of the Zygons, The two doctor's and Resurrection of the Daleks.
