Title: The Third Doctor Story Tournament THE WINNER
Post by: thefifthdoctor on May 03, 2011, 06:15:12 pm
Now in glorious technicolour!
The Doctor Who classic story tournament presents: The Third Doctor!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the rules.

- Please put votes in BOLD so they are easier to count
- If you would like to change your vote, make a new post announcing your change. Do not edit your original post.
- Vote changes will not be allowed after Round 2.
- Iceman put this rule in effect because it will add another difficult dimension and that keeps people from flip flopping too much. So get all your vote changing out in the first 2 rounds.
- In the event of a tie, a 1 hour extension will be given and someone who has not voted already will vote. Only the first vote within that hour time period counts. If 2 or more people vote, all the votes but the first one will be null and void. If no one votes within the hour then I will flip a coin.

If you have questions please pm me with them. I hope you enjoy this tournament! The winners of each round will be included in this post with links to each daily match and the first match will be in the post below.

Plot

The TARDIS arrives on Earth in the middle of a meteorite shower and the Doctor is found by UNIT troops and taken to a nearby hospital. The Brigadier is faced with having to cope not only with the mysterious meteorites but also with Ransome, an ex-employee of a local plastics factory, who claims he has seen a walking mannequin....

Plot

The Doctor is an observer and UNIT are providing security cover at an experimental drilling project designed to penetrate the Earth's crust and release a previously-untapped source of energy, named Stahlman's Gas after its discoverer. Professor Stahlman dismisses the concerns of the project's Executive Director Sir Keith Gold and exceeds all safety margins in order to expedite the work.
Soon however the drill head starts to leak an oily green liquid that transforms those who touch it into vicious primeval creatures with a craving for heat. The Doctor is accidentally transported by the partially-repaired TARDIS control console into a parallel universe where England is ruled by a military dictatorship....

Difficult to vote against TomTit but one of my earliest childhood memories is of my favourite uncle buying me a hardback copy of Day of the Daleks so that gets my vote on nostalgia value. And a reasonably compelling non-Terry Nation Dalek story

The Doctor is an observer and UNIT are providing security cover at an experimental drilling project designed to penetrate the Earth's crust and release a previously-untapped source of energy, named Stahlman's Gas after its discoverer. Professor Stahlman dismisses the concerns of the project's Executive Director Sir Keith Gold and exceeds all safety margins in order to expedite the work.
Soon however the drill head starts to leak an oily green liquid that transforms those who touch it into vicious primeval creatures with a craving for heat. The Doctor is accidentally transported by the partially-repaired TARDIS control console into a parallel universe where England is ruled by a military dictatorship....

Plot

The Doctor is an observer and UNIT are providing security cover at an experimental drilling project designed to penetrate the Earth's crust and release a previously-untapped source of energy, named Stahlman's Gas after its discoverer. Professor Stahlman dismisses the concerns of the project's Executive Director Sir Keith Gold and exceeds all safety margins in order to expedite the work.
Soon however the drill head starts to leak an oily green liquid that transforms those who touch it into vicious primeval creatures with a craving for heat. The Doctor is accidentally transported by the partially-repaired TARDIS control console into a parallel universe where England is ruled by a military dictatorship....

The TARDIS arrives in the year 2540 on board an Earth spaceship, which then comes under attack. The crew perceive the Doctor, Jo and the attackers as Draconians, whose empire currently rivals Earth's for control of the galaxy. The Doctor and Jo, however, see that the attackers are really Ogrons...

Plot

Sir Reginald Styles, organiser of a world peace conference, narrowly survives an assassination attempt by a combat-uniformed guerrilla who vanishes like a ghost. Later the guerrilla is attacked by huge, ape-like creatures called Ogrons and found unconscious by UNIT troops in the grounds of the house. The Doctor deduces that he comes from about two hundred years in the future and that a device found with him is a time machine....

An approaching alien spaceship is detected on monitoring equipment at UNIT HQ, where the Brigadier is entertaining two visitors - Chinn, a civil servant making a security inspection, and Bill Filer, an American agent sent to discuss the threat of the Master. The ship lands in England and the UNIT team, joined by Hardiman and Winser from the nearby Nuton power station, meet its occupants: beautiful golden-skinned humanoids called Axons.

The first Doctor, caught in a time eddy and able only to advise, deduces that the creature is a time bridge. The third Doctor and Jo then give themselves up to it and are transported to a world of antimatter beyond the black hole....

Guys n Gals,

Given the score The Three Doctors just got (11-0) I'm gonna go right at it & post the final as a 3 way.
Initially, due to the episode count, the winner of the last round would have gotten a bye to the final, but I think it'll be more interesting with these 3 facing off (Chris may kill me though!)
So, without further ado, here is the final round of The Third Doctor Story Tournament!!!!

Looks like the right result to me. I was quite torn between whether to vote for Inferno or The Three Doctors as I absolutely love both stories I think the best one won though.

Post by: thefifthdoctor on July 22, 2011, 05:04:00 pm
I have no issue with any of the stories, they are all great, but I expected the vote to be really close.
Inferno pretty much ran away with it!

For me this whole tournament has reinforced just what an amazing tenure Pertwee had. There were very few lemons and although I voted for The Three Doctors to win there were numerous really amazing stories: The Daemons, Terror of the Autons, Carnival of Monsters, The Time Warrior, Three Doctors - literally any of these would have been winners.

Great Tourney and many thanks to TFD for keeping it going :)

Couldn't agree more, Chris.
I need to find a torrent or something with all his stuff I don't already own.
I think we could easily class 3 as "the golden era of Who".

Now to open the tourney that will eat my life away it's so big......
