  I suspect the second semi-final will be tougher.

  Ooh, you're telling me!!
  
  20 Genesis of the Daleks
  45 The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End
  07 The Mind Robber
  36 The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
  02 The Daleks
  41 The Unicorn and the Wasp
  17 The Time Warrior
  14 The Sea Devils
  05 Tomb of the Cybermen
  32 Earthshock
  
  I found the list easy-ish to eliminate the stories I either don't like at all, or just don't rate that high. But there were a couple that I found myself umming and erring over. One was the Daemons. Both Damaris Hayman and Roger Delgado steal the show in that. Such great performances! The other was The Sea Devils. In the end I eliminated The Daemons.
  
  Now we just have the list of the ten stories that I love the best. :cool:

  Ouch. But that does leave an amazingly diverse and interesting list with numerous Doctors represented- although of course I would say that because I chose them. Ha.

  eliminating The Sea Devils, Horror of Fang Rock and Carnival of Monsters was very difficult.

  I always make sure that I vote on your threads every time, without fail.
  
  I wonder what the outcome would have been if you HAD voted last time?
  
  Slightly different, I shouldn't wonder.

  Well I'll tell ya.
  
  The Visitation would have made it through. One of my favourite stories so I was a bit annoyed, but I had missed my own cut of time so thought I'd better be honest, and on the upside it left an even 48 stories left in the game.

  I like that story a lot too. One of the stronger Fifth Doctor stories, out of the ones that were shown. Earthshock and Caves are two other strong ones. :cool:
  
  If the Visitation is on any other of your lists next time, I'll make sure to include it in my vote.
