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. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.... VS Inferno"Yes, well, we don't want to bear a grudge for a few hasty words, do we? No, not after all the years that we've worked together. Now, come along, my dear fellow. Put on a smile..."

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.... You have approximately 24 hours to vote for either Spearhead from Space or Inferno

Ouch, thats a b!tch to start with. Two of my favourite Pertwees, but for the sheer amazingness of Nick Courtney and Caroline John in their roles,

Yes, two of the best up against one another. Inferno, if only because it has room for more awesomeness.

Tough one. I love Spearhead From Space, really starts the Pertwee era off with a bang. Got to vote for Inferno though, if nothing else for the seriously scary eyepatched Brigadier Brigade Leader.

Investigating, the Doctor learns from Captain Hart, commander of a nearby Naval base, that the sinkings have centred around an abandoned sea fort. He and Jo then visit the fort and are attacked by what one of the men there terms a Sea Devil - an amphibious breed of the prehistoric creatures encountered by the Doctor shortly after his exile to Earth....

You have approximately 24 hours to vote for either The Sea Devils or Terror of the Autons

Terror of the Autons. Pretty close to Who-perfection (I'm not sure there is another story that gives me more pleasure - and its got Harry Towb being eaten by a plastic chair)
