You have no Troughton (other than The Two Doctors) and no Davison!

Go for:

1. The Five Doctors: cos it's lovely, and it's got em all in
2. The War Games: excellent Troughton. 10eps, but it whizzes by
3. The Caves of Androzani: one of the all-time greats, showcasing Davison very well

Androzani is in the new Revisitations set, so id leave that for now.

Id go for 5 docs, or possibly Horror of Fang Rock

I've not paid any attention to Revisitations, so didn't spot Caves being rereleased.

The OP is missing stories from Drs 2 and 5. This should be remedied!

How about:
Pyramids of Mars
Talons of Weng Chiang
Robots of Death
Tomb of the Cybermen
The Invasion (the 2 animated replacement epsodes are lovely)
City of Death
The Deadly Assassin

I think within the last year or so, sure I bought it when it came out earlier this year? Mind you I'm in NZ so later release date than in the UK...

The War Games it's such an epic story and although it’s 10 episodes long it really doesn’t drag at all and will leave craving me. Ok I lie a tiny bit because the last episode which introduces the Timelords is pretty rubbish and could have been done in 10 minutes instead of being dragged out for 25. But 9 griping episode really isn’t bad at all.

I would highly recommend getting some Troughton into your collection. (you wont regret it)

Tomb Of The Cybermen
The War Games

Are both excellent starters.

Both are excellent, but I'd go for Seeds of Death before Tomb of the Cybermen. Only a personal chocie though. Both are top-drawer DW. You really ought to have some Troughton on your shelf.

Actually you are right, consider my chuff well and truley nobbled.

For some reason I always forget about Seeds Of Death, dont know why as it is a corker. (Maybe I always mix it up with Seeds Of Doom)

Tough call on which one I'd go for though, probably 'Tomb' just pips it for me as I like the single setting throughout 'play' type feel to it. That said Seeds Of Death does have that lovely bubble bath group orgy type thing at the end.

Another good thing about Tomb..... is that the commentary is a great double act from Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling


I would also recommend the William Hartnell story The Time Meddler
