A t& #39;riffic thing about every #DoctorWho TV story:
An Unearthly Child. Finding a time machine in a junkyard. Perfectly capturing the feel of classic children& #39;s literature.

"What& #39;s a girl like you doing in a job like this?"
"Well, when I was a little girl I thought I& #39;d like to be a scientist, so I became a scientist."
Fury From The Deep. They make Victoria& #39;s scream the key to the plot. Brilliant.
The Wheel In Space. Working a repeat showing of Evil into the plot.
The Dominators. 80s power shoulders, over a decade early.
The Mind Robber. The incredibly inventive way they deal with temporarily losing a cast member.
The Invasion. The moment Benton loses his heart to the Brig.
The Krotons.
The Seeds Of Death. Fewsham - a superb portrayal of cowardice.
The Space Pirates. When I first watched the only surviving episode with a friend and we both misheard "on a pirate ship" as "on a pile of shit".
The War Games. The War Chief and the Doctor recognising each other. Electrifying.
Spearhead From Space.
Doctor Who And The Silurians. The Doctor offering the hand of friendship. Somewhere in his subconscious, an irate little man is yelling "No, blow it up!".
The Ambassadors ... Of Death! "My moral duty." Second story in a row with a more thoughtful and interesting form of villain.
Inferno. That moment. The Doctor doesn& #39;t always win and not everybody lives.
Terror Of The Autons. https://twitter.com/dimwittedly/status/921437418145959944?s=20">https://twitter.com/dimwitted...

"Science!"
"Magic!"

"Magic"
"Are you as turned on as I am?"
"More!"

"Magic"
"Are you as turned on as I am?"
"More!"
Day Of The Daleks.
"No complications."
Iconic.
"No complications."
Iconic.
The Curse Of Peladon. The nice Ice Warriors. Another example of the show developing a more thoughtful approach.
The Sea Devils. What else?
The Mutants. Jesus Christ Super Gay.
The Time Monster. The Doctor asking Jo not to listen to his thoughts, he& #39;s not proud of some of them.
The Three Doctors.
Carnival Of Monsters.
Frontier In Space. The Master in a jolly mood. Not cackling, clapping, spinning loon, manic happy. Just cheerful. It& #39;s utterly beguiling.
Planet Of The Daleks. Accidental pimp daddy gloriousness.
The Green Death. Pertwee& #39;s "Ha!" when he meets BOSS. The best amused/dismissive/delighted "Ha!" there& #39;s ever been.
The Time Warrior. Linx brought a flag. Linx wins.
Invasion Of The Dinosaurs. The Brig& #39;s not entirely convinced "Hmm" after the Doctor& #39;s touching delivery of the moral of the story.
Death To The Daleks. I make no claims of originality.
The Monster Of Peladon. A return visit to an alien world. A great idea, not used often enough.

"Sarah, get off that mandala!"
"Sarah, get off that mandala!"
Robot.
"The only country that could be trusted with such a role was Great Britain."
"Well, naturally, I mean, the rest were all foreigners."

Planet Of Evil.
"You know where you are? You& #39;re in the best alien jungle the BBC& #39;s ever made, baby!"
"You know where you are? You& #39;re in the best alien jungle the BBC& #39;s ever made, baby!"
Pyramids Of Mars.
The Android Invasion.
The Brain Of Morbius. Sarah pouring her wine away and faking passing out. I like it when the companion& #39;s clever. They can still be a peril monkey, but a clever peril monkey.
The Seeds Of Doom.
"Start talking."
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had perfect pitch."
"Start talking."
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had perfect pitch."
The Masque Of Mandragora. The "old" control room that was never the old control room, despite the Pertwee shirt and Troughton recorder, but the production team don& #39;t care because (as they so rightly knew) it doesn& #39;t fucking matter.
The Deadly Assassin. Clown under the sand.
The Face Of Evil. The Doctor casually lobbing a horda at the bloke that slapped Leela. The man who knew would, but don& #39;t piss him off, just in case.
The Robots Of Death.
"Please do not throw hands at me."
"Please do not throw hands at me."
The Talons Of Weng Chiang. A legend is born.

TIMEY-WIMEY ALERT!
Tha Hand Of Fear. Sarah& #39;s beautifully underplayed and superbly funny "Hi" when she meets Eldrad.
Tha Hand Of Fear. Sarah& #39;s beautifully underplayed and superbly funny "Hi" when she meets Eldrad.
The Stones Of Blood. Sausage sandwiches.
The Androids Of Tara. The Doctor sticking his head out into the firing line to shout "Liar!"
The Power Of Kroll. The location.
The Armageddon Factor. The Doctor angering the Black Guardian, so he has to create the randomizer, just so he has an excuse not to take Romana, who he& #39;s fallen utterly in love with, back to Gallifrey. That& #39;s my head canon and nobody& #39;s changing it.
Destiny Of The Daleks. Disco robots.
City Of Death. Every. Magnificent. Second.
The Creature From The Pit. The Doctor jumping down the pit, instead of being thrown, thus taking control of the situation. Dangerous, funny, and completely Doctorish.
The Horns Of Nimon. The moment when you realise DW did "Marge vs the Monorail" 14 years early.
The Leisure Hive. "My arms! My legs! My -" Holy shit, this isn& #39;t funny, it& #39;s fucking disturbing!
Meglos. Evil cactus. That& #39;s proper DW, that is.
Full Circle.
"Not. An. Alibi. Deciders!"
Tom on fire.
"Not. An. Alibi. Deciders!"
Tom on fire.
The Keeper Of Traken.
Logopolis. The Doctor meets the Watcher on the bridge. He appears to argue, then seems to give up. He& #39;s not the same man afterwards. Far as he& #39;s concerned, the regeneration has already started.

Kinda. Tegan& #39;s quantel nightmare.
The Visitation. The Doctor casually leaning through a hologram wall.

Mawdryn Undead. The Brig& #39;s mental clip show.
Enlightenment.
"Where are you going?"
"You don& #39;t know?"
"To Miss Tegan& #39;s cabin."
"You didn& #39;t know, though, just for a second. Interesting."
"Where are you going?"
"You don& #39;t know?"
"To Miss Tegan& #39;s cabin."
"You didn& #39;t know, though, just for a second. Interesting."
The King& #39;s Demons. The wrong delivery of the line "He is the evil one."
The Five Doctors. "Must dash."
Warriors Of The Deep. Turlough accepting the Doctor& #39;s drowned before the Doctor& #39;s reached the water.
The Awakening.
"You speak treason!"
"Fluently!"
"You speak treason!"
"Fluently!"
Frontios. Hatstand standoff.
Resurrection Of The Daleks. "To kill Davros." Yeah, it all goes tits up, but to have this particular Doctor just casually accept he has to commit murder is chilling and compelling.
Planet Of Fire.
Kamelion: Destroy me, Doc-
Doctor: Righty-oh!
Kamelion: Destroy me, Doc-
Doctor: Righty-oh!
The Caves Of Androzani. Has to be the best regeneration scene in 20thC Who.
The Twin Dilemma.
"Now look, Sergeant."
"Lieutenant."
"Lieutenant."
That joke loses something in print.
"Now look, Sergeant."
"Lieutenant."
"Lieutenant."

Mindwarp. The cup of tea moment.
Terror Of The Vervoids. "At least, not until..."

Time And The Rani. Rainbow tractor beam.
Paradise Towers. The old girls are cannibals!
Delt And The Bannermen. The Doctor listens to an apple.
Dragonfire. Kane& #39;s cool console.
Remembrance Of The Daleks. The Dalek goes up the stairs! They don& #39;t cut away and when we come back, it& #39;s upstairs. They don& #39;t overlay a Dalek onto a dodgy high angle shot. We see it go (slowly) up the stairs. Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
The Happiness Patrol. Kandyman answering the phone.
Silver Nemesis. The Doctor calling Peinforte& #39;s bluff and the show declaring all the pre-Unearthly Child fanwank to be dead boring. I agree.
The Greatest Show In The Galaxy. T. P. McKenna.
Battlefield. Hahahahahaha! Oh, sorry, you had to be there.
Ghost Light. A spaceship that moves at the speed of thought.
The Curse Of Fenric.
"Don& #39;t interrupt me when I& #39;m eulogising."

There will now be an unscheduled faith change.
This thread now only covers classic Who.
