I haven't seen a whole lot of Classic Who yet, but I can't believe no-one's put the Brain of Morbius Yet.
Anyway, I'll see if I can remember. I've only watched about 3 seasons of Tom Baker. Brain of Morbius Deadly Assassin Terror of the Zygons Arc in Space Pyramids of Mars Genesis of the Daleks Horror of Fang Rock The Talons of Weng Chiang [even if the slight racism feels weird] The Invisible Enemy The Face of Evil |

The Daleks/ Dead Planet Keys of Marinus The Time Meddler Tomb of the Cybermen The Mind Robber The Three Doctors City of Death Earthshock Mark of the Rani Remembrance of the Daleks I was being shrewd there - and missed a LOT of stories! Best 20 might be easier for the classic series! ![]()

Things were different back then and people weren't so thin skinned about this stuff. Mickey Rooney's role in Breakfast at Tiffany's is another example in this wheelhouse. Heck, eighty years ago, blackface was still very common. It was even occasionally used up to thirty years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eubhg1gTyj8 It was just the day and age. |

I thought I'd keep it to just the top 10, but break it up highlighting the ones that so far have been missed altogether. Also, these are my favourites, I'm not trying to rate them on technical merit, the best acting/ directing or story in general.
The ones no-one else seems to mention are: Dr Who & the Silurians Planet of Evil Ones that commonly feature with other opinions: The Deadly Assassin Horror of Fang Rock Pyramids of Mars Ones that less commonly feature in others' lists but still make my top 10: The Invasion The Green Death The Visitation The Seeds of Doom State of Decay |

My Top twenty classic stories would be:
1. City of Death 2. The War Games 3. Inferno 4. Remembrance of the Daleks 5. The Daleks' Master Plan 6. The Seeds of Doom 7. Terror of the Zygons 8. Doctor Who and the Silurians 9. Horror of Fang Rock 10. The Five Doctors 11. Enlightenment 12. The Talons of Weng-Chiang 13. The Myth Makers 14. Genesis of the Daleks 15. Spearhead from Space 16. The Power of the Daleks 17. The Enemy of the World 18. The Happiness Patrol 19. Planet of Evil 20. The Aztecs It'll be a completely different list next week for me. That's what I love about Doctor Who. There are just too many good stories to have a top twenty IMO. |
