The Five Doctors The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Genesis of the Daleks (about to come out). Pyramids of Mars. Horror of Fang Rock. Tomb of the Cybermen. The Beginning. The Mind Robber. The Caves of Androzani. The Three Doctors The Green Death
I'd add: The Invasion of Time City of Death The Brain of Morbeus The Arc in Space (first one I ever saw, good place to start) The Pyramids of Mars The Seeds of Doom
Gee, I guess I really like the Tom Baker years, don't I?
I didn't download the torrents for this series because I had no interest in Eccleston, even though over the years I've admired his other work. Now I know why people love him though -- he's very engaging (if still not very attractive -- Tennant is my Doctor).
However, I'm utterly surprised by my love for the very chav-ish, dumpy Rose. I'd only known about ex-pop tart Billie Piper through popbitch's past extremely unkind items on her, but I have to say I'm impressed both by her feisty, no-nonsense performance AND the fact the producers were willing to cast a less-than-perfect woman in a lead role. Jesus, the shot of her somewhat plumpish jean-clad bum on the viewing platform tonight would have sent American TV showrunners and producers screaming for digital erase artists -- but UK TV is not afraid of an average, slightly overweight female character. Sure, the stick-like Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley may be their reigning screen goddesses, but women on Brit TV are a different story. The whole thing is strangely refreshing.
