Bit of a random one, this, but I thought it was worth putting it to a poll. I hope I didn't miss any of them out, but I could only think of those four

Those are all I can think of.  I went with TEC/TDD, although both this one and TCOF are great.  VOTD some way behind.

I went with the latest one, but I can't remember if I have seen TCOF, so only really had three to judge on

I was torn between this and TCOF, but I went with the latter in the end

I do genuinly think that LKH was the best of the four, which is odd really considering it had the least to do with the War in it

I went with TEC/TDD. All of them have their strong points but I think that one was the best

Ok, I haven't seen TCOF so that's out. Much as I loved LKH - & I found the actual Hitler scenes very funny - it really could have been set at any time with any tyrant under attack by the Justice Dept robot thing. Yes it's set in WWII, but it's not about it I guess is what I'm saying, so I'm taking that out too. That leaves TEC/TDD & VOTD, both of which I absolutely love & both of which have an authentic WWII feel to me - wish I could vote for both.

Urgh!!! I think maybe TEC/TDD just edges it for how creepy the Empty Child is so that's where my votes going  Smiley

Close second to the Daleks though  Cheesy

I went with Let's Kill Hitler. I liked them all (except the classic one I havent seen yet) but I enjoyed watching the latest one the most

Actually, come to think of it, don't the Justice Department people say at one point they arrived too early and it's actually 1938?  Which means technically it's not WW2.

I don't hate VOTD, I just didn't find it a particularly strong story.

Curse of Fenric.
End of discussion.
I like TEC/TDD a lot, but Fenric is just....it's a barnstormer of a story.
The less said about Victory the better (ducks Exterminate's right hook!).

'The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances' for me, 'Curse of Fenric' is a close second.

I think LKH was the best one too, but I voted for TEC/TDD because it seemed to be the most war involved of the stories.

Aww, I like "Victory of the Daleks".  Just not as much as the other two from new Who (I don't remember Curse of Fenric).   Smiley

Haha, I love the story and I voted for it, but even with my love for the Daleks I can't deny that it wasn't their strongest story.

Daleks are cool.   Cool   It's the Spitfires in space that were just an idea on paper moments ago that weren't so cool!
