    You'll get a lot people saying the Dalek stories and I wouldn't blame them but I would love to see The Smugglers and The Web of Fear.

    I've watched a full telesnap recon of Marco Polo and thought it was great - I was staggered by how ambitious it was considering it was only the fourth story, and I imagine it would have come across as much greater in scope than the previous three. It's a well-written, sophisticated story and I wish I could see it as it was meant to be seen.

    From what I've seen/heard of The Evil of the Daleks, that seems like a real corker. Really hope something can be done about this one for a DVD.

    I'd love to see Fury from the Deep as well, just to see if it really is as chilling as legend says.

    Marco Polo would have been a great watch if the novelisation was anything to go by, but with all seven episodes missing it's unlikely we'll be getting an animation reconstruction anytime soon.

    I don't have a single favourite, but I particularly like ...

    The Power of the Daleks
    The Daleks' Master Plan
    The Savages
    The Web of Fear
    The Crusade

    Loose Cannon have done a great job of reconstructing all of these and a YouTube user called ElDoctorio has been uploading a lot of them for easy access. :)
