Ladies & Gents, Timelords & Companions, Villains & Monsters.....I proudly present to you the third in our Classic Adventures story tournaments.
TFD Mod note - I got a new pc yesterday, so this should run a lot smoother than before!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The War Lord is assisted by a Security Chief and a War Chief, the latter of whom the Doctor quickly recognises as a member of his own race, the Time Lords. The War Chief has provided the Aliens with the time vessels, SIDRATs, that are essential to their scheme; but he secretly plans to double-cross them and seize power for himself.....

I have to vote for The War Games as it's the only Troughton I've seen.

Bloody hell, that's a tough one to kick off with! I think I would love Power of the Daleks, but as it's lost I can't be sure. So it's The War Games for me too.

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.

Start with a tough one then? Two great stories, but I'll have to go with The War Games.

This is a very special story as it was the first of the original soundtracks that I bought (with a rather abstract narration by Tom Baker) so my vote goes to The Power of the Daleks

I am fascinated by The Underwater Menace. Why did the second doctor stop with the disguises/hats/recorders in season 6?!

One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
