Sadly, I was never much of a fan of the Pertwee era, at least in comparison to most of the rest of classic Who. Loved his first season, liked bits of his last, thought most of the stuff in between was OK but not outstanding. I just don't think Pertwee's action man persona fits with the Doctor as played by most of the others. I'll give it a go, though...
Best: 1) Spearhead from Space 2) Inferno 3) The Ambassadors of Death 4) Doctor Who and the Silurians 5) The Time Warrior Worst: 1) Day of the Daleks (a very unimpressive return for the Daleks after four seasons' absence) 2) The Monster of Peladon (inferior sequel to a decent enough story) 3) The Claws of Axos (easily the dullest Delgado Master story) 4) Colony in Space (not actually bad, but overlong and padded) 5) Planet of the Spiders (as above) |

The Time Monster 3. The Mutants 4. The Monster of Peladon 5. The Ambassadors of Death "Frontier In Space" is notable for featuring an alien enemy race called the Draconians who should have been used in a few more stories - sadly, they turned out to be a one-off.

The Daemons is a funny one. For years it was one of my faves, maybe based on nostaligia and the excellent Barry Letts novelisation, but it really hasn't stood the test of time. So, hear goes...

"Spearhead From Space" has got to be the best debut story of any Time Lord - in colour, at least.

It was very close to being in mine as well!
It's never been the most popular of stories so I don't see why it being in someone's bottom 5 is that shocking. |

It was in my Bottom Five as well. The story isn't one of the better Dalek ones and Jon Pertwee's performance was as about as straightlaced and moralistic as it ever was. No eccentricity anywhere at all.

Does anyone else dislike "The Day Of The Daleks" or "Death To The Daleks", in any way?

Some clever clogs will say The Five Doctors, so it might as well be me...!
Pertwee should have acted in at least one Cybermen story, when he was The Doctor - end of.

I really liked Death when I first saw it, but I don't think it's aged that well. Considering how much I love Daleks, there's been a high number of misses from their appearances! |

I quite agree. Though he has his moments in season 7.
