| Alright, fairy snuff, I shall unleash the science in a short list of bests and worsts for each Doctor, that way you know what to look for and avoid like the plague.
Hartnell - Watch : An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, The Rescue, The Time Meddler. Avoid : The Romans, The Sensorites, The Web Planet.
Troughton - Watch: Any of 'em you possibly can, they're rare as fuck, thanks BBC.
Pertwee - Watch : Spearhead from Space, Inferno, The Sea Devils, The Daemons. Avoid : Planet of the Spiders unless you really need to see how Pertwee dies.
Tom Baker - Watch: Oh, Christ, too many. Take as many in as you can, but... Avoid: Revenge of the Cybermen, Horns of Nimon, The Leisure Hive.
Davison - Watch : Castrovalva, Kinda, Earthshock, Enlightenment, Caves of Androzani. Avoid : Warriors of the Deep, Snakedance, The Visitation.
Colin Baker - Watch : Uh... Vengaence on Varos, Revelation of the Daleks... That's it. Avoid : All of Trial of a Timelord. Only watch Timelash if you want a laugh.
Mccoy - Watch : The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, Curse of Fenric, Battlefield. Avoid : Time and the Rani, Delta and the Bannermen, Silver Nemesis.
Mcgann - AHA! Trick question. There's only one story, made in 1996 in a failed attempt to revive the series as a joint BBC/Fox show. Very American, very slick, most fans hate it, I think it's okay. Eric Roberts as the Master? SPOT ON, LOVE.
Eccleston - Watch : Dalek, The Empty Child/Doctor Dances, The Parting of the Ways. Avoid : The ones with the farting aliens.
Tennant - I'm going to assume you've seen most of them, but bollocks, if you haven't seen The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit or Midnight, give 'em both a whirl. And never, ever, ever watch Fear Her. Ever.
I tried to keep it brief, which is bloody difficult for a show that's knocking on close to 50 years. As for the stuff I didn't list, you'll have to use your own initiative. Pretty much all of Tom Baker's run is worth a watch though, apart from the few I marked out. ------------------ Maindrian and Touge's videos of vague annoyance - Est. 2007 |
