And Resurrection of the Daleks episode 1”
Perhaps I should elaborate on my earlier list:
Remembrance 1: This is a historic moment for obvious reasons - preserving the shock factor for something we never thought we'd see.
Remembrance 2: Surely one of the all-time greats simply for how awesome Ace was in fighting the Daleks
City of Death 1: - another shocking cliffhanger, the last person you expect the Count to be is Scaroth!
Full Circle :1, Sea Devils (that one!) and Talons: 1 cliffhangers: all brilliant because they feature creatures from your worst nightmares making their first appearance in dramatic style
The Daleks: 1 - need I say more?
Power of the Daleks: 5 (I think) - truly terrifying as the Daleks remind you just how psychotic and hell-bent on destruction they can be
Resurrection of the Daleks: 1 - The Dalek is trapped in a watrehouse with the Doctor and his team, screaming "exterminate" at the top of its voice. What's not to frighten you?
Earthshock: 1 - anyone who knows the secretive publicity of this story around original transmission knows how shocking it can be. A double-whammy, the Cybermen and Adric's death.
