Title: Best Of The Best Episodes
Post by: Peri-Peri on November 23, 2010, 07:17:50 pm
The Doc has asked us to get some polls started while he visits a health spa so here is the first :)

Every story of Doctor Who is brilliant in its own way, and last year DWM compiled its list of the top 200. Taking the highest ranking story of each Doctor (including the recently released best of the Eleven poll) Here is your chance to vote for the best of the best :)

I suppose my vote dents the count somewhat because I can only vote on the ones I have seen, but the Eleven story got my vote :)

I went with Caves. Only watched it recently but I fell in love with it. Everyone should watch it.

The Series 5 finale comes second :)

I had to go with what I've seen & for me out of the ones I have seen TPO & TBB have to win out - I'd give it to that for the Stonehenge Speech alone but there was so much more I liked.

Going to watch the rest of these eps though - if these are the best then they seem like a good place to start.

As an aside I note lots of Dalek episodes came through  :)

A lot of the Dalek episodes in the classic series were brilliant. Since the show came back its seemed like mainly they have been there for the sake of it and nobody has really seemed to know what to do with them.

Caves got my vote :)

I was tempted to vote for several of them, but I went for The Daleks in the end.  I remember just what a wallop it was to see those pepper-pots of death for the first time, and it still holds up.

I tried to keep my bias out of it and go with what I genuinly thought was the best story and so went with TPO (Though mainly for part one)

Oh Peri - how could I miss this poll :) Every time I get tempted to vote for Genesis of the Daleks and every time I go with the Caves. Classic Who perfection :)

I totally forgot about this thread. You've given it a well deserved bump.

And your choice doesnt surprise me one bit :P

Can we also fix the poll so Remembrance of the Daleks gets a vote? I'm just watching it instead of doing work and it is utterly brilliant. Sylvester McCoy is just amazing and we have a Special Weapons Dalek. I don't advocate that it wins - I just think it should get a vote. Also Inferno.

Inferno definately deserves to get off the ground. Its a fantastic story


Title: Re: Best Of The Best Episodes

After now watching Inferno, I agree. Absolutely brilliant story

How have I never seen this before? I went with Inferno. Because it deserves a vote and because its awesome

Aw I loved inferno my first pertwee story!!!!

Inferno is awesome and the renewed focus from the sad death of Nick Courtney only re-emphasises what a great story this was. I do, however, feel Remembrance of the Daleks deserves a little more love as well. Its a corking story, beautifully scripted and I think we get McCoy's best performance ever. As I said above...Special Weapons Dalek.... Keep those votes coming.....

If I had to pick out of the 3 choices there (that I've seen), it'd be The Doctor Dances.

Blink is awesome.

TPO rocked, but TBB sucked.

My absolute favourite has to be vincent and the doctor, it shot up the list, crushing TEOT with just a little finger haha!!!! So beautiful!!!! The acting, writing, editing, lighting and all of the mise en scene was 5 star all the way through!!!! Always had me on the edge of my seat, and it had one of my favourite artists, van gogh!!!! Although I do love picasso and monets work :)

Inferno gets my vote. Possibly my favourite Who story ever

I went with Genesis of the Daleks. Considering how weak some of the Dalek stories are, there sure are a lot on that list. I'd also say that many of them are not the strongest story for each Doctor

I agree with you, CM. I would like Remembrance of the Daleks to get a look in, though. Despite McCoy, I actually thought this story was a real return to form and gave me some short-lived optimism for the future of the show. Alas . . .

Although I liked Inferno, I wasn't impressed with the werewolf thingies and for that reason alone couldn't rate it as high as some of the others.

Some of the other stories there are quite weak. I've never understood the enthusiasm for The Caves of Androzani; The Movie (although there were parts I liked) was pretty bad overall and I never really liked the ending of The Big Bang.

It's a lot more evenly spread than you'd expect. Usually with these things the newer episodes run away with it because lots of people aren't familiar with the classics

Although not the best, in my opinion, that being the "absolutely marvelous" (as Romana put it) City of Death, based on the ones on here Remembrance of the Daleks gets my vote. Just fun.
