    My Favourite of all time so far is Tom Baker in Robots of Death. Such a Classic Who Story. Followed by the Dalek stories. 

    I agree that Robots of Death is a classic, but which Dalek stories are you referring to? After all, The Chase, Destiny of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks are far from classic status.

    Favourite Story: Genesis of the Daleks

    Least Favourite: The Edge of Destruction.

    The latter is from the William Hartnell era. You'd think it would be quite thrilling given the title but the most exciting thing in it is the revelation that the Tardis has a drinks dispenser...

    Agreed. When I first watched The Edge of Destruction I almost fell asleep! It is very dull and the plot is patheticly poor. However, I appreciate the story behing its making, as it was made with very short notice to fill in a two week gap, due to The Daleks originally being 9 parts long.

    Yeah, Smith's speech at the end is the only thing that makes me doubt putting it down. The speech really does make it as an episode. Truth be told, I don't really have a least favourite from the new series, I'm hard put to say which one, going through the episode list, I enjoyed them all really, save for the favourites, Rings of Akhate was the first to come to mind and then thought "Really? But the speech!" when I hit save.

    No need. I'm getting the classics bit by bit through CEX and HMV (mainly HMV at the mo) Got about 3/4 of it sitting waiting to be watched/binged. lol Just missing a few serials (obviously there's the missing episodes, which I'm not holding out for) that I just have to get and then I can watch them in order (I'm a bit picky about skipping episodes/serials. lol) But thanks for the offer! ^_^

    I can name many new Who episodes which were contenders for my least favourite, as there are many I don't enjoy (however there are also a few classics which I could have put there).

    If you want the missing episodes you can buy them in audio form, which I have them all in. All I need is series 4 on DVD, and then I have every episode. I'm currently bingeing (is that spelt right?) every episode from the start, and I'm on The Keys of Marinus at the moment. And yeah, if you ever want recommendations I will gladly give you them, be it books, films or audio drama.  :)

    Haven't seen many of the classic series serials, so I can only go from the revived series. Anyways, mine at the moment are:

    Favourite: It's between the  Human Nature/Family of Blood double (If using the double counts. lol), Blink and The Time of The Doctor (Amy turning up at the end got me a bit :(), though I'd probably have the Human Nature/Family of Blood double as my favourite. :smile:

    Least Favourite: The Rings of Akhate, wasn't too keen on it, felt a bit underwhelming.

    Human nature/Family of blood is brilliant (and yes, using doubles counts, my favourite episode is 10 parts long, and each part is 25 minutes long for classic serials), and I would highly recommend the book. Blink and The Time of the Doctor are both great, and Amy's appearance certainly made me emotional. 

    However, I have to disagree on The Rings of Akhaten. I love the episode, I think it is very unique and has a great soundtrack, and Smith's speech when he is facing the Sun is one of his crowning moments. It was a breath of greatness in a series of rather underwhelming stories. However it is your opinion so feel free to not like it.

    And I definitely recommend watching the classics, and I have plenty of recommendations if you want them :)

    I love the movie! It was one of the first classic stories I watched and I fell for it. Watching now I can see a few issues with the story, but I love Daphne Ashbrook and Eric Roberts wasn't a bad Master (The Master really came out in his performance when he got into his robes in my opinion!). 

    But most importantly, it showed that the 8th Doctor lived up to the character and was brilliant in his own right all in 70 minutes (since he wasn't in the first 20!)

     

    I agree that Eric Roberts was a great master and far better than John Simm. However there are issues with it, and it was one of the last classics I got (I only got it when the blu-Ray came out). Paul and Daphne were both outstanding in the film.

    The movie's half decent, Mr. Camel! And the audio dramas are pretty good, from the ones I've heard!

    The audio dramas as great  (much better than what we have on TV now). If you want any recommendations I will gladly give you some :)
