Those are the ones I would recommend to you. |
Some interesting choices, Hivemind.
An Unearthly Child, first episode aside, i find a bit of a chore to get through. I'd have picked
The Mutants (
The Daleks), instead.
Talons is an obvious choice but i avoided that as the best release of the story is in a
Revisitations set and would therefore cost more money.
Robot i've always thought was just okay.
I watched
The Awakening last week again. It still stands up. I remember when it was transmitted, i was sure it was a sequel to
The Daemons. Mawdryn Undead is one of those stories i don't watch very often and is due a rewatch,
Arc of Infinity falls into that category, in fact the whole season does, so i watched
Arc over two nights this week... and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Frontios is just brilliant.
I'd always choose
Ghost Light as well as
Fenric and
Survival, not to mention
Remembrance of the Daleks if asked about McCoy's adventures. Four very different stories that show how varied the show really is.
I've said before on here. Season 26 is probably my favourite season of
Doctor Who. and as with everything is always about personal choice.
