The Tenth Planet proceeds to the next round 4-3 <All, my sincere apologies. I made a boo-boo & pasted in Edge of Destruction originally when it should have been The Aztecs (The Daleks already beat EoD in Round 2). With that in mind, I've now amended the post & to avoid confusion, I'll delete the original votes posted for this battle. So, so sorry!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 3 Battle 03 The Daleks Vs The Aztecs The Daleks"You wanted advice, you said. I never give it. Never. But I might just say this for you. Always search for truth. My truth is in the stars, and yours... is here." First Transmitted: The Dead Planet - 21/12/1963 17:15 The Survivors - 28/12/1963 17:15 The Escape - 04/01/1964 17:15 The Ambush - 11/01/1964 17:15 The Expedition - 18/01/1964 17:15 The Ordeal - 25/01/1964 17:15 The Rescue - 01/02/1964 17:15 PlotThe TARDIS has brought the travellers to the planet Skaro where they meet two indigenous races - the Daleks, malicious mutant creatures encased in armoured travel machines, and the Thals, beautiful humanoids with pacifist principles. They convince the Thals of the need to fight for their own survival..... VS The Aztecs"But you can't rewrite history! Not one line! Barbara, one last appeal: what you are trying to do is utterly impossible. I know! Believe me, I know!" First Transmitted: The Temple of Evil - 23/05/1964 17:15 The Warriors of Death - 30/05/1964 17:15 The Bride of Sacrifice - 06/06/1964 17:15 The Day of Darkness - 13/06/1964 17:15 PlotThe TARDIS arrives in fifteenth century Mexico inside the tomb of one-time Aztec High Priest Yetaxa. The travellers become cut off from the ship when they explore the temple outside and the tomb door closes behind them. Barbara is proclaimed by the High Priest of Knowledge, Autloc, as Yetaxa's divine reincarnation. However, she incurs the enmity of the High Priest of Sacrifice, Tlotoxl, when - against the Doctor's advice - she attempts to use her new-found authority to put an end to the Aztec practice of human sacrifice.... You have approximately 24 hours to vote for either The Daleks or The Aztecs

I think I may have killed the thread with my boo-boo.
I'll vote for The Daleks to start it off.

Love both, but The Aztecs is one of my favourite First Doctor stories (possibly just one of my favourites ever) so it has to get my vote

Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and The Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

Two of William Hartnell's finest stories. The Daleks wins by a very small margin.

6-1 to the Daleks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 3 Battle 4 The Time Meddler Vs The War Machines The Time Meddler"That is the dematerialisation control, and that over yonder is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it... Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me!" First Transmitted: The Watcher - 03/07/1965 18:55 The Meddling Monk - 10/07/1965 17:40 A Battle of Wits - 17/07/1965 17:40 Checkmate - 24/07/1965 17:40 PlotThe TARDIS arrives on an English coastline in the year 1066. Exploring, the Doctor discovers that one of his own people, the Monk, is conspiring to wipe out the Viking fleet and thus allow King Harold to face the forces of William of Normandy with a fresh army at the Battle of Hastings.... VS The War Machines"I can feel it... it's got something... sort of powerful... it's... Look at my skin! Look at that! I've got that prickling sensation. The... sensation again... the same... just as I had when I fought the Daleks... those Daleks were near!" First Transmitted: 1 - 25/06/1966 17:35 2 - 02/07/1966 18:55 3 - 09/07/1966 17:35 4 - 16/07/1966 17:15 PlotThe TARDIS arrives in London in 1966 and the Doctor and Dodo visit the Post Office Tower. There they meet Professor Brett, whose revolutionary new computer WOTAN (Will Operating Thought ANalogue) can actually think for itself and is shortly to be linked up to other major computers around the world - a project overseen by civil servant Sir Charles Summer. It transpires however that WOTAN considers that humans are inferior to machines and should therefore be ruled by them. Exerting a hypnotic influence, it arranges the construction of War Machines - heavily-armed, self-contained mobile computers - with which to take over the world. You have approximately 24 hours to vote for either The Time Meddler or The War Machines

Two of my favourites, but I instantly loved The Time Meddler, whereas the other needed to grow on me

Now this is a tough one. Another two brilliant stories. The War Machines gets the vote, but only just.

Rules is rules - 1hr, next vote wins or else it'll be a coin toss!
(Again, I'll abstain from voting as I haven't seen either.)

In the home stetch now!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semi Finals Battle 01 The Romans Vs The Tenth Planet The Romans"Caesar Nero. I've always wanted to put on a good show; to give a great performance. After all, who knows, if I go down well, I might even make it my farewell performance.
