Tom Baker is my favorite. I watched "Genesis of the Daleks" today. A great classic involving The Doctor's arch adversaries the Daleks and their mad creator Davros.

"The King's Demons" , a Peter Davison story involving a false King John and the Doctor's other main adversary The Master. That one is a true classic and lots of fun to watch.

"The Time Monster" was an early seventies story which also featured The Master(in an earlier regeneration). It also had UNIT and the flamboyant presence of the late great Jon Pertwee- the earthbound Doctor.

Fun Factoid #1: Peter Davsion was the youngest actor to play The Doctor in this series about a renegade time-traveller on the run from his own people.He is considered the last great Doctor from the series broadcast in the eighties, originally.He spent three full years on the programme and had the dubious task of replacing the previous incumbent(and my favorite) Tom Baker.

Hmm, Revenge always seemed a bit limp to me. Coming just after Genesis it doesn't look very good in comparison.
Peter Davison is my favourtie Doctor and Caves of Androzani my favourite story. I have a smeaking suspicion Patrick Troughton would have been my favourite if they had had better production values in those days; his performance in the Three, Five and Two Doctors was wonderful. And I have always had a sneaking regard for the mammoth story "The War Games" even though it was blatantly five episodes too long.
If this thread is primarily going to be about the series then I really should move it to the GDF... in fact I shall do so now because frankly the movies don't get much attention in comparison...

Yes the spinoff movies never did as good as the series from which they sprang. Although the series started in 1963 and lasted in first-run production until 1989, there were seven actors in the lead role. Of these, Peter Davison had the hardest job of all- replacing the legendary Tom Baker at a point when a new production crew were coming onto the series. Earthshock and Caves of Andrazani are two of his stories most people remember. I personally like The King's Demons and The Awakening.

I don't really have a favorite episode, but Tom Baker was my favorite doctor.

Revenge of the Cybermen is a great story. In his later adventures I really like The Sunmakers and Destiny of the Daleks. For me the 70s are the Golden Age of Dr Who.

It is odd that Revenge was voted into being the first video release of Dr. Who, considering the general panning it gets by fans. As a story it has never scored highly in any official 'Best Story' poll (something that Genesis regularly wins)

Yes I know. Isn't that weird? I would have thought they would have gone with a more popular tale like The Robots of Death or The Five Doctors. Go figure.

Since it DID come out, though, The Five Doctors has had more video releases than I can comfortably handle. It is almost as bad as Star Wars.

Yes! The original version(1985) the DVD, the Special Edition, and the one boxed with The King's Demons to name just a few of them!
