I am running a number of polls to discover the favourite story for each Doctor. This one is for the Seventh Doctor.

Please note: The poll can sometimes take a while to appear.

This poll will be open for 7 days.

Remembrance of the Daleks is the only story from this era that has gravitas and something that looked like a budget. I'm not really a McCoy fan though.

"Remembrance" for me, although I might have gone for "Battlefield" if that hideous music wasn't so flippin' intrusive.

Another one for remembrance here

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a special edition without it?

Yes! Definitely! In fact, wouldn't almost all of the McCoy stories get a whole new fan-base if that music went?

I know - dreadful! On one of the commentaries, someone (I cannot remember who) said John Nathan-Turner was really clear that was the sort incidental music he wanted, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Now if anyone still supported the idea of his suitability to be a showrunner.....

Bit of a contradiction in terms, this one.

But if I must, it has to be Remembrance. The only McCoy story I believe I could sit through again (and then only if I had a gun pointed at my head).

Greatest Show...for me. Early inicators suggest it might not come top.

I like the one where he rolls his rrrrr's and then plays the spoons.....yep that one

Not a fan of McCoys I'm sorry to say. But I voted for 'Remembrance' as well.
I also have a soft spot for 'Delta & The Bannermen' - lovely tale!

I voted Ghostlight - great cast and a really strong Ace storyline

I think there's something rather special about Ghost Light, it shows the 7th Doctor and Ace at their best, plus it's delightfully weird and mysterious.

Remembrance of the Daleks and Curse of Fenric are also standouts.

I was in two minds whether to go for Remembrance of the Daleks or Battlefield, but I went for Battlefield. I love that story very much.

The casting is superb. The scripting is good too. It feels a bit like a JP story even though it's Sylvester McCoy.

I may watch that one again tonight.

I'm halfway through watching all 9 series of Birds of a Feather on DVD at the moment, but I may halt that for a night, to see Battlefield before I go to bed.

Survival for me. The only battle between McCoy's Doctor and The Master, Ainley's performance and the whole feel of the story just makes me a happy viewer.

Someone voted Dragonfire... there's always one.

I know I'm going to open the Colin Baker thread and someone will have voted Timelash.

(I ticked Ghost Light by the way)

I was watching that one the other day when my housemate flipped the channel over to that episode of Glee with the gritty social commentary. Ha, just kidding! It was the one where they autotuned a mediocre song to death and did an instantly forgettable dance to it.

As much as I like Rememberance, I had to vote for Fenric. It's one of my fave Doctor Who stories full stop, especially the DVD special edition version.

Hard to choose. I hate them all just about equally. I opted for Paradise Towers, possibly because coming after Time and the Rani just about any old rubbish would have looked like Pyramids of Mars to me.

Had similar problems am afraid but to see my all time least favourite story equated to my all time favourite Pyramids of Mars is a strange one for me.

I quite like Remembrance, can watch Curse of Fenric and have a bit of a guilty pleasure over Delta and the Bannermen and Battlefield. Aside from that the rest (along with Twin Dilemma and Timelash make up my all time bottom 10.

Remembrance got my vote.

If only that were all that were wrong with them

The worst thing about the era is that there were a large group of revisionist fans right after the cancellation that held that this was the pinnacle of Doctor Who Look up 'Cartmel Masterplan' and be both horrified and amazed.

If I had to vote for one, it would be my least reviled, rather than my favourite.

I actually like stories like Happiness Patrol - but only as I watch it with an appreciation of what it might have been rather than how it actually turned out. It's sort of like those 3D pictures where you have to squint and look at them sideways and you can see the 'secret picture' - but in this case you get an Ennio Morricone soundtrack and Sergio Leone directing . Even that approach can't save stuff like Dragonfire and Silver Nemesis. I think you would have to turn your eyeballs inside out to get anything out of them.

Some of them have a certain charm such as Delta, but you can't even use the 'so bad it's great' argument on Time and the Rani - its just painful to watch!

Of all the sad, sorry lot, I suppose I had to go with either Greatest Show or Fenric. I had to vote for Fenric in the end as it was far more polished and successful production. The only real let-down was the 'Trekkie' ending, which had me seriously wavering for a while there. Remembrance had promise and is probably the closest thing to 'real Who' that they made, but I can't get over the 'Rice Pudding' speech or the fact that the Doctor casually wiped out all the Thalls without even a muttered "oopsie".

Curse of Fenric, though while I like the original version the new edit really makes things a million times better

This era always makes me quite depressed. Sylvester is excellent, but there's something about it which puts me off.

However, Remembrance stands out as being the only story I can watch and not feel down.

Apart from the numerous problems with the show itself - there was a palpable sense of vultures circling during that time. The 6th floor had publicly rubbished the show and had deliberately put the same production team back in place. The show was on a death watch.

Most of the 'not we' at the time saw the show as a pathetic shadow of it's former glory. You did NOT admit to being a fan. If you were 'outed' by a relative, patronizing smiles were the order of day.

All the Moff haters need to be forcibly frogmarched to a real TARDIS and be made to experience those sad final years.
