It's pretty clear that Tales of the Tardis is a gentle push to ease people into watching classic Who. It's a fantastic idea

Something you may not have noticed - in the 10th Doctor episode Tooth and Claw, he puts on that Scottish accent and introduces himself as Dr James McCrimmon - a name he took from Two's beloved Jamie. Also, it was actually Jamie who first gave the Doctor the alias John Smith!

If you were to watch another story from each Doctor, I'd recommend these as they're a mix of well regarded stories and ones that are good to jump into as a new who fan (plus these ones don't all feature villains you've seen in the modern series). 1st Doctor: The War Machines 2nd Doctor: The Web of Fear 3rd Doctor: Inferno 4th Doctor: City of Death 5th Doctor: The Caves of Androzani 6th Doctor: Vengeance on Varos 7th Doctor: The Curse of Fenric

I absolutely recommend Inferno from the Pertwee era. The way the tension builds is really well done, especially with how high the stakes are. Definitely one of my favorite Third Doctor stories :)

Earthshock, when first broadcast, had no spoilers that it was the return of the Cybermen. Anywhere. So it was a shock to see them at the end of episode 1. I was at home, watching, with my mum, who wasn't really a Doctor Who fan, but did like Peter Davison. I had to laugh, when she pointed at the Cybermen on the TV, and said, very matter of factly: "I didn't expect to see those bastards again!"

The Time Warrior is kind of a lore stealthbomb - you got the first appearance of Sarah Jane and the Sontarans, as well as the reveal that The Doctor's homeworld is called "Gallifrey", y'know... only 5 years after introducing the planet and the Time Lords lol

A Unearthly child is probably one of the most iconic stories to watch the very first dr who story you can see how different the doctor is and how he evolves into the doctor we know and love!!! I would highly recommend it

I agree with you that the chemistry between Sylvester and Sophie is next level. Up there with Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen.

If you are going to do this again, I would recommend: 1- The Romans (An extremely fun pure historical) 2- The Invasion (One of my all time favourites) 3- The Daemons (A proper UNIT story + The Master) 4- Horror of Fang Rock (A classic Tom Baker Gothic Horror episode) 5- The Caves of Androzani (it’s hard to beat this one) 6- Vengeance on Varos (The best episode of 6s era) 7- The Curse of Fenric (one of Ace’s best episode)

There's so much great stuff from the Tom Baker era! Don't miss: Ark in Space, Terror of the Zygons, Planet of Evil, Seeds of Doom, Masque of Mandragora, Hand of Fear, Face of Evil, Robots of Death, Talons of Weng Chiang, The Invisibly Enemy, The Sun Makers, City of Death, and more.

I think Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker are tied as my favourite classic Doctors. I also think what makes “Genesis of The Daleks” so good, even today is that it cements their own existence in Doctor Who forever while the episode “Daleks” cements their presence in the show forever, it’s a brilliant way to make them so iconic. I think his decision to not destroy The Daleks there and then haunts him, like to think The Time War, The Whole Bad Wolf scenario, Canary Warf, The Stolen Earth all this major events could’ve been avoided if The Doctor had destroyed them. Don’t get me wrong I respect all the actors, especially William Hartnell, but you’ve gotta have a favourite

If you wanna try one story from each doctor, go with this list; 1 The Daleks (its the frickin first Dalek story!) 2 The Mind Robber 3 Spearhead From Space (Pertwee's first/shop dummies a la 2005 Rose) 4 Pyramids From Mars (Sarah Jane is great and the voice of Sutekh is the same voice of the Beast from Impossible Planet/Satan Pit) 5 The Caves of Androzani (obvs) 6 Vengeance on Varos (very cynical/very violent) 7 The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (tickets please....)

The 10th planet, Logopolis, Castrovalva and The curse of Fenric are some of my personal favourites of the classic era.

I still remember that end credit roll of Earthshock part 4, I was 7 years old watching it on a small portable TV in our caravan. That made an impact that I still remember 40years later!

These episodes are some of my favorite The third doctors inferno The fifth doctors caves of Androzani The seventh doctors curse of Fenrich

Remembrance of the Daleks is my favourite Dr Who story. I absolutely love the different Dalek factions and the Doctor in the middle of it. So cool.

Hi, Crispy - Here are some more classic Who stories you might enjoy: First Doctor: The Aztecs Second Doctor: Enemy of the World Third Doctor: The Daemons Fourth Doctor: Horror of Fang Rock Fifth Doctor: The Visitation Sixth Doctor: Vengeance On Varos Seventh Doctor: Battlefield

There was something called Quatermass and the Pit (1958) which was basically a prototype of Doctor Who. I recommend giving it a watch as it's actually pretty good.

Part of the joy of 60s Who is that it isn’t overburdened with continuity, unlike its modern counterpart.

The Brigadier (and UNIT) character started with the 2nd Doctor. The premise of the 3rd doctor was that he was banished by the Timelords to live on Earth, his TARDIS broken, and the Timelords removed his knowledge about the TARDIS and time travel. So he spent most of his time with UNIT, and the Brigadier was one of his main companions.

You're right about the binge watching not working for Classic DW Crispy. Serials were written and produced for watching just once a week so don't really work if binge watched. Especially for younger people so used to the fast paced TV now, and binge watching. As a kid who grew up watching Classic DW repeated to billy-o on the ABC at prime dinner/tea time I find I can successfully binge binge watch it. However I suspect younger generations may not appreciate it when binge watched, while they may well experience it differently and better if watching just one episode of a serial at a time. I'm impressed you understood the time period the shows were made in and the way TV was produced then, as without that many don't appreciate Classic DW.

You definitely need to watch terror of the Autons as your next 3rd doctor story, not only was it the introduction of Jo Grant but also the master played by Roger Delgado who is still the best master of all time.

You should definitely watch Survival, the final story of the classic show and now feels like a prequel to Rose almost. So much of the show we know comes from that. And while you’re on season 26, Ghost Light is an absolute classic (and a quick watch).

Having grown up on it (classic Who is my favourite show ever), it kinda blows my mind that - in this age where the internet has brought fan communities closer - I find loads of Who fans who have...never seen 26 seasons of the show 😅 This was super wholesome to watch. Loved seeing your reactions ♥️

Excellent video, my recommendations 1st Doctor; The Aztecs 2nd Doctor; The Mind Robber 3rd Doctor; Terror of the Autons 4th Doctor; City of Death or Robots of Death or The Talons of Weng-Chiang or Pyramids of Mars or The Deadly Assassin 5th Doctor; Caves of Androzani 6th Doctor; Vengeance on Varos (Or one of the 6th Doctor Big Finish audio dramas) 7th Doctor: Curse of Fenric (Remembrance of the Daleks is still the best introduction to Doctor 7)

The Key to Time episodes. Awesome. First Romana. And her regeneration. Tom Baker rules! I’ve seen every episode that ever aired in America, and almost every one I could find online. Worth it!

Another Australian here, who grew up watching McCoy as he aired on the ABC on The Afternoon Show. You picked a pretty safe set of episodes to not be disappointed in, so that was a good start. I would say dip into some non-dalek non-cybermen stories next. To pick one more from each Doctor. 1. An Unearthly Child: see where it all began 2. The Ice Warriors: you will have seen an Ice Warrior in the Smith era 3. Terror of the Autons: see both The Master and The Autons 4. Pyramids of Mars: having bad Egyptian gods before Stargate was cool 5. Caves of Androzani: frequently tops the best-ever episodes lists 6. Vengeance on Varos: objectively Colin's most interesting story 7. The Greatest Show in the Galaxy: I always found this incredibly fun

Another seven episodes I'd recommend. 1st Dr - The Daleks 2nd Dr - The Mind Robber (FYI, many of Patrick Troughton's stories are either incomplete or completely lost) 3rd Dr - I cant decide but either The Daemons or The Sea Devils. Should also mention that in Jon Pertwee's first few seasons. The Doctor was exiled to Earth by the Time Lords. 4th Dr - Pyramids of Mars 5th Dr - The Caves of Androzani 6th Dr- Revelation of the Daleks 7th Dr - Silver Nemesis

You are 100% tight that Patrick Troughton is a legend and Ace & 7 are one of the best pairings EVER! Remembrance of the Daleks was the first DW story I saw broadcast live back in 1988. Instantly hooked :D Humble round 2 suggestions:... 1st: The Time Meddler 2nd: The Web of Fear 3rd: The Daemons 4th: Pyramids of Mars 5th: The Caves of Androzani 6th: The Two Doctors 7th: The Curse of Fenric

Fantastic video! The Time Warrior was a really odd recommendation for the Third Doctor story, it’s not bad but it’s not particularly renowned and there are much better Pertwee stories. Maybe the person who recommended it did so because there are lots of points familiar to modern viewers - Sarah Jane, Sontarans, UNIT. Also I wouldn’t have picked Attack of the Cybermen for Colin’s story - Revelation of the Daleks is better. Other than that, great recommendations, and it’s so great seeing you discover that Classic Who is actually fantastic!

They don’t necessarily have to be from each Doctor, but you could just take a list of 10 or so classic stories to watch at a time. That way you could also experience some of the story arcs a bit more like the E-Space Trilogy, the Black Guardian Trilogy, the Key to Time season, and The Trial of a Time Lord season.

Having Caves of Androzani not be the recommended story for the 5th doctor story is just sad. By far and away the best story from the 5th Doctor era.

I actually sat down, a few years ago, and watched every single Doctor Who story, in order, from 1963 until present day. I may try to do it again, and update my Plex server with some of the ones that were Audio recreations with their animated counterparts. It's a mission. Watching it while I worked, in my free time, and pretty much whenever I could, it took about three months. One thing is for sure, it brought back some memories of watching them on grainy public access, here, probably 5 years after they aired everywhere else.

Apparently Tegan was created because the producer, JNT, became aware of how well Doctor Who rated in Australia and thought having an Australian companion could help pave the way for a coproduction with the ABC for extra cash and some overseas filming. This didn't come together, and then he tried the same thing with Peri, the American companion, when the show was doing well on PBS.

Crispy I get it. Watching all the past episodes would be daunting. I realize you have a goal of being showrunner somewhere in the future and you look and see things differently when you watch. I absolutely loved Tom Baker for his humor and his ability to make it all seem believable when you can see the props are cardboard and glue. He was witty, so very clever spouting sciency things and solving things amidst the chaos. He honestly was a great actor. I would be okay if Dr. Who was weekly or bimonthly. It's the last good tv show out there and I will be sad to see it end.

I love how today, they added it to BBC iPlayer.

Have been binging Classic Who Season 15 (Leela’s last season) and really enjoying it. The Sun Makers was surprisingly entertaining!

If you want to watch more Patrick Troughton, The Faceless Ones is a great animated story. I also really like The Mind Robber and The Invasion is a fantastic story if you don't mind the length of it

I'm 49 and have been watching Doctor Who since 1980, when I first discovered it on PBS (which is the Public Broadcasting System here in the US... it was the only way to watch Doctor Who when I was a kid). I started watching in the Tom Baker era, and one of the things PBS would do between the releases of new series of Baker's Doctor was go back and start with Unearthly Child, the very first episode, and then play every show they had each week (full 2 hour+ serials, instead of the episodes) until they caught up. This is how I got to basically got to see everything I missed before I discovered the show. It was pretty awesome. So I saw Jon Pertwee as a kid and my absolute favorite Pertwee episode was The Three Doctors. They brought back Hartnell and Troutman to reprise their roles (though Hartnell was becoming ill at his advanced age and thus his scenes were filmed separately). I believe this was the very first team up between past Doctors. It also features companion Jo Grant. Since you didn't love the Pertwee episode you saw, perhaps check this one out instead. It's so much fun, and endures as one of my favorite episodes in all of Doctor Who to this day. Now I'm going to go back to your video... I may have more to say :)

Several of the things you noticed weren't first times or one-offs, so you should definitely go back and watch all of them! For instance, breaking the fourth wall started with #1 and there are other instances of it along the way. And that's just one example. More importantly, of course, a LOT of the new shows draw on elements from the older ones, so you'll just "catch" a lot more if you have that foundation.

Michael Kilgarrif played BOTH the Cyber Controller in Tomb of the Cybermen and in Attack of the Cybermen

What everyone appears to not comment on is Louise Jamieson's performance as Liella (the hunter). She was outstanding as a huntress who became the Doctor's pupil. Not least in The Talons of Weng Chiang. Doctor Who has such a great set of supporting actors and actresses through it's near 70 year history.

So glad you enjoyed Classic Who. I always get curious as someone who was also brought up on predominantly New Who but also was fortunate to catch Classic Who steadily growing up, seeing other New Who fans dive into the Classic show. It's great to see when New Who fans enjoy the old show no matter its flaws and out-dated production values. It's a wonderfully charming era of the show. Loved the video and the way you went about putting this together with updating on your thoughts as you go. Love it!

While I agree that the pacing of classic who can feel slow at times, I love the stories regularly being serialized into multiple episodes. It allows for more cliffhangers and the stories are allowed to develop more and even throw in fun misdirections. My one complaint about New Who is that it sometimes feels that the mysteries are unraveled and monsters defeated TOO quickly.

Ive been making my way through classic Who and I'm like midway through the fourth doctor. Currently, my favorite story from William Hartnell is "The Romans", Patrick Troughton's would be "The Enemy of the World", Jon Pertwee's would EASILY be "The Claws of Axos", and so far I have a BUNCH of favorites from Tom Baker's, but I would round it down to two, "The Seeds of Doom" and "The Deadly Assassin".

Oh bro, fr? I can't believe I watched all of Classic Who, like 10x over, before Crispy ever did. Wow. You'll prolly love the Pertwee era

Great video ! I’m always supportive of a Nu-Who fan who tries to engage with the classic series. I’m never convinced when folks say that a modern audience will be immediately turned off by old show. Loads of Gen Z You tubers reaction channels are jumping back and starting from the beginning. Yes, it’s different and silly at first but after a few stories in they realise how attached they become to these unfamiliar Doctors and companions. And they cry as much as they did when the 10th regenerated. The same as they do when they lost the third. By the way, Time Warrior was an odd choice. Inferno would’ve been better

Glad you've finally got a taste. There are about 700 episodes, of which about 600 remain on archives and another 50 odd have been animated, so watching it all is a big task but some people have done it, like me lass on Marie Clare's World. If you're looking for further suggestions: An Unearthly Child: only because it's how this all started. The Tenth Planet The Enemy Of The World The Macra Terror The War Games (be warned, it's long) Inferno Terror of the Autons The Deadly Assassin City of Death Keeper of Traken Caves of Androzani Vengeance on Varos Ghost Light

Earthshock was one of the episodes I actually saw in reruns as a kid before new Who started (started during Tom Baker of course), and I dare say it really shook me. From what I understand at the time people really didn't like Adric, but then this episode hit so hard that people were a lot softer to him after the fact. As a kid I didn't have any strong opinions on him, but I'd watched him on the TARDIS for some time by that point, and more than anything the reaction from the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa made it a truly game changing moment for me, almost as much as seeing the 4 to 5 regeneration shortly before that.

the Doctor Who fandom can be so oversaturated with gatekeeping and HOW COULD YOU GET THIS TINY DETAIL WRONG type vibes, so i really loved this. Loved your work since you interviewed me at the 2014 world tour! 😂

I watched a fair bit of Classic Who and I personally think the best way to watch it is just one story at a time. Forget binging it, just watch what sounds fun and gets recommended

The Time Warrior definitely isn't the strongest 3rd Doctor story. Its good, but there's better. Watch an episode with 3 and Jo, they have a great Doctor/Companion dynamic.

Great video, thank you. Glad you went in with an open mind, so used to hearing people dump on classic who and it’s such great comfort tv with so many inventive ideas.

One episode which I highly recommend is the deadly assassin. I don't necessarily think it's one of the absolute best (although it's still great), but it is perhaps the single most influential episode of the entire show, making it an amazing choice for somebody that already loves doctor who.

Absolute all time classic Doctor Who stories, in no particular order: City of Death (Tom Baker and Romana), written by Douglas Adams Resurrection of the Daleks (Davison et al) Revelation of the Daleks (Colin Baker / Peri) Death to the Daleks (Pertwee / Sarah Jane) Inferno (Pertwee) The Talons of Weng-Chiang (Tom Baker / Leela) The Five Doctors (all of them) Ghost Light (McCoy / Ace) The Curse of Fenric (McCoy / Ace) Survival (McCoy / Ace) The Caves of Androzani (Davison / Peri) In all honesty, almost all of classic Who is a joy. It's from a time when drama wasn't all about dramatic soap opera music, loud bangs, snappy sitcom dialogue and quick cuts. For all that it might lack in visual polish, it makes up for in sheer inventiveness, excellent performances and some truly amazing writing.

I am glad that after all these years, you finally got around to watching more Classic Who. I have been watching the show since I was a toddler, so I don’t remember what the first episode I ever saw was, but I am from the US, and I was born in 2006, and until I think 2016 or 2017, I was watching both Classic and Modern Who on Netflix until they removed it. My personal favorite Doctor is the Third Doctor, and my personal favorite classic story is “Inferno,” which was one of his stories.

Pretty good choices, although I feel the Third Doctor didn't get represented too well. They probably picked this for Sarah Jane, in which case great episode. But if you really want some representation of the third doctor era I recommend most episodes with Joe and the Master. Some more recommendations, if you want a great historic episode, the first Doctor story "The Romans" is great, it really shows the First Doctor's character well. For the second doctor, enemy of the world is a really unique one in which Patrick Troughton gets to show a very different side of his range as an actor. For Tom Baker, "The Deadly Assassin" is an odd one out, as it's not really representative for his run (the only time there are no companions) but probably one of his best performances as it really focuses on him. And it's perhaps a bit of a cliché, but Shada is also one of the best 4th Doctor stories, plus it got Romana 2. I also recommend the Three Doctors and The Five Doctors, aka the anniversary episodes. All the different Doctors interacting with eachother is very fun, and a very different take on the concept than what the new show does.

Season 7 is probably the best season of classic who. Unfortunatly, most of these episode have lost their original colour masters and the episodes look like their from a VHS tape (The restoration team managed to bring back the colour, but it still looks like your watching a vhs tape)

80s Cyberman drinking game: take a shot of your favourite drink every time the Cyber Leader says, "Excellent." You'll be drunk in no time.

If I had a friend that never had seen Doctor Who before, I'd have them watch "A Journey Through Space and Time". While not an official Doctor Who adventure, it does help to explain the premise behind it.

Great video Crispy. I can't believe you'd never watched classic Who before! I completely understand your disappointment with 'The Time Warrior' and 'Attack of the Cybermen.' I actually think they were odd recommendations for a new viewer! May I humbly suggest you check out the following; 1st Doctor - The Aztecs 2nd Doctor - The Krotons 3rd Doctor - Carnival of Monsters 4th Doctor - Pyramids of Mars 5th Doctor - The Five Doctors 6th Doctor - Revelation of the Daleks 7th Doctor - The Happiness Patrol

I recommend watching the movie, I watched it yesterday and its an underrated gem! Paul mcgann is such a good doctor

Each fan of classic Doctor Who has their own ideas of which stories are best. Ultimately the best approach is just to dive in and start watching them, deciding for yourself. You can either start at the beginning to feel the full evolution of the series. Or you can start somewhere in the middle and go from there, with Seasons 7 or 12 being good starting points. Then visit the early seasons once you’re hooked. I think watching one story a week is a good pace to enjoy them, giving you three years to work your way through the classic era. It’s not something to be rushed, but something to be savored.

Great! If you want to go deeper, here's what I recommend: 1st Doctor: The Time Meddler 2nd Doctor: The Mind Robber, Invasion and War Games 3rd Doctor: Spearhead from Space, Carnival of Monsters, The Daemons 4th Doctor: The Ark in Space, The Stones of Blood 5th Doctor: The Five Doctors, The Caves of Androzani 6th Doctor: Vengeance on Varos, The Mysterious Planet 7th Doctor: Battlefield, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy and The Curse of Fenric

My favorite from Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doctor is Terror of the Autons. Good story IMO 👏 😊👍

“Earthshock” is not the 5th Doctor story to watch. It is absolutely “Caves of Androzani”. That is one of the best classic Who stories ever.

Great list! I'm an old school fan and those are all the exact ones I would suggest for each Doctor!

When I was young Sylvester WAS the Doctor. The movie hadn't come out yet. He's went very dark (you watched when he had a white jacket, which they changed to brown to make him darker) and there's some great story arcs with Ace's character development.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the classic show! When I first watched it I was really bored by the pacing change but once I ajusted to it and became accustomed to the campiness, I loved it. Troughton's era in particular is my favorite. He's my favorite Doctor, and I highly recommend watching his era (mostly) chronologically because The War Games is really special once you're attached to the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe. But if you're looking for some amazing episodes to watch in any order really, I recommend The Mind Robber, Fury From the Deep, and Enemy of the World.

Another thing…it’s not a bad idea to collect all the DVDs! The extra content/documentaries on each story is often as good as the episodes, and some are actually quite funny or great historical context. And a lot of NuWho people are involved in the docs, as well as any surviving cast members.

No lie detected... "Tomb Of The Cybermen" is one of the best episodes of Classic and New Who combined. I discovered the Doctor through novelizations of Classic episodes in the US back in the early 1970s, then was introduced to the videos in the mid-'70s when I was in college. I'll be 66 years old tomorrow. To new viewers of classic Doctor Who, I've always described the show as "Masterpiece Theater scripts/acting with a Dark Shadows budget." Nowadays, the acting is still world-class with New Who, but it's more of a major motion picture budget per episode. Last weekend at a small convention I was asked to gift someone with every surviving Classic ep from Hartnell and Troughton, as well as everything else their 256 Gb thumb drive could hold, so I gave them every multi-Doctor story, then whatever special/outstanding episodes I could fit on their thumb drive. I have over 3 Tbs of episodes, spinoffs, animations, telesnap reconstructions, parodies, making-of, and whatnot on my computer, thanks to friends in England who e-mailed me New Who episodes & making-of minisodes they recorded live, and several friends in the US who have amazing google-fu. My British wife understands that Doctor Who is my soap opera--just as Coronation Street & Emmerdale are her's.

It's a shame you didn't watch a Roger Delgado Master episode. No-one else holds a candle to him.

Great video, it's fantastic that classic who is getting more attention! For some further suggestions, my favorites are: The Aztecs, The Power of the Daleks, The Enemy of the World, The Invasion, Spearhead from Space, Inferno, The Ark in Space, City of Death, The Caves of Androzani & The Curse of Fenric.

I think classic doctor who episodes need to be watched with a large amount of patience. They’re great, if you can stand the filler episodes or the occasional cheap dialogue. I highly recommend Tom Baker’s doctor to everyone, he’s just a load of fun!

Thank you for not hating on classic Doctor Who. Subscribed!

Back in year 10 (2009) I started my journey into Classic Who, I decided to watch in order though through renting the DVDs at the library, or buying them myself if I couldn’t find a copy. With time and effort varying so much over the years I’m really only up to ‘City of Death’ of 4th Doctor, I’ve seen some serials here and there of the other incarnations, but I think 2nd Doctor is such a fantastic era (he’s one of my fave incarnations, with Jamie and Zoe being some fave companions too), Anyway, overall, I think because those first few years really focused on the writing (generally) with a shoestring budget, plenty of the early serials can be good easy viewing that gives good emotional responses :)

I always say that every fan should (at some point) watch the first and final story of every Classic Who Doctor.

Very nice. Congrats. And as for the pacing, you nailed it. Watching a Jon Pertwee 10 parter in a sitting is DEADLY. But watching 30 minutes in an afternoon for a week and a half is lovely.

I watched every classic doctor who episode when it was on PBS here in the States. This was around the 90s. That's why I am a who fan to this day.

Season One: 1st episode of An Unearthy Child. The Daleks. The Aztecs. (The Edge of Destruction is pretty cool too, and it's only 2 eps) Season Two: The Dalek Invasion of Earth (which you've seen, but in case anyone else reads this I recommend) The Rescue (only 2 eps) The Chase. The Time Meddler. Season Three: (not many available) The Ark - is ok, and The War Machines. (final episode & only one available in full, of Celestial Toymaker of you want to see before 60th) Season Four: The Tenth Planet, end of Hartnell's era. Troughton - The Moonbase (half animated) Season Five: The Tomb of the Cybermen. The Enemy of the World - Troughton plays two roles, also first DW story to have an Australian setting. Season Six: The Mind Robber (Jamie gets a new face) Invasion - also partly animated. Also if you don't want to sit through all of War Games I get it, but at least watch the final episode for Troughton's era end) ps if you want the job of future showrunner, you're going to have to have seen these. 😉 And now for the start of the colour era. Season Seven: Spearhead from Space. The next 3 stories are great but with 7 episodes each they do have the problem of slow pacing issues so what ever you choose to watch don't binge. 🙂 Season Eight: Terror of The Autons. The Claws of Axos. The Daemons. Season Nine: The Day of the Daleks. The Curse of Peladon. Season Ten: The Three Doctors. Carnival of Monster. The Green Death - another long one though, but Jo Grants final story. Season Eleven: The Planet of the Spiders - really the best out of that entire season. Season Twelve: (Hello Tom Baker) The Ark in Space. The Sontaran Experiment. Revenge of the Cyberman is considered not good by some, but it completes the story arc started in Ark in Space. Season Thirteen: All of them. Even the Android Invasion. Season Fourteen: Again all of them. Both the and S13 are Tom Baker at his best. Season Fifteen: All but skip Underworld ..... and be prepared for the "monster' in Invisible Enemy being a giant prawn. 70s tv at it's best lol, but it's the story where The Doctor gets K9. Season Sixteen - The Key to Time: This is where I believe TB's era to start going downhill. The Stones of Blood is a good story, the others are average to not so good. Season Seventeen: Destiny of the Daleks. City of Death. Season Eighteen: Full Circle - Adric's introduction. (some fans like State of Decay but I found it slow so it's up to you) Keeper of Traken & Logopolis - a must! Season Nineteen: Black Orchid is a sweet nonsence story but the best is Earthshock. Janet Fielding puts in a great performance as a possessed Tegan in Kinda, but the rest of it is quite boring without Nyssa. Season Twenty: Arc of Infinity - Colin Baker as Maxil but and some fans don't like but I do. Mawdryn Undead - return of the Brig, and who the F is Turlough? The King's Demons - another short & sweet one featuring The Master. And of course the big one The Five Doctors. Season Twenty One: Resurrection of the Daleks. Planet of Fire. Caves of Androzani. Season Twenty Two: Vengence on Varos. The Mark of The Rani. The Two Doctors. Season Twenty Three - The Trial of a Time Lord. There's no standout stories, mostly average to good, but The Ultimate Foe is Colin Bakers final. Home stretch now Season Twenty Four: Delta and the Bannerman. Dragonfire - Introduces Ace. Season Twenty Five: Remembrance of the Daleks. Season Twenty Six, the final season: Battlefield - the Brig is back again. The Curse of Fenric. Survival - the last ever story from the classic era.

I'm glad that more people are finally watching (what I perceive to be) the vastly superior half of this franchise. I wish streaming it was easier here in the States, but it fills my heart that others can experience this uniformity regardless

attack of the cybermen was a,, uh,, interesting choice for colin baker, personally i'd've reccommended revelation of the daleks or vengence on varos. anyway banger vid

It’s the other way round for me, I grew up watching Doctor Who in the 70’s and 80’s and much prefer the pace of classic Who compared to the fast pace of New Who. I like both, but for me the original series has so many great stories and characters.

Glad you got a look at Classic Dr.Who 😊. Since I grew up during that era ( though, being in the US, I hadn’t seen the show until the 70s when my local PBS station began broadcasting them), I pretty much understood the pacing of the episodes.

How can you have a Doctor Who KZfaq channel and not of watched classic Doctor Who??? Mind blowing…

I liked all these stories, some more than other. But all are fun. The 7th Doctor and Ace story is my favorite of ALL Classic Doctor Who. Hope you had fun watching!

It's funny "Earth Shock" was your first 5th Doctor story you watched. Because that was my very first 5th Doctor encounter as well and also the very first Doctor Who story i ever bought. Definitely a really great story and even with a dramatic ending. Also loved that dedication that Janet wrote on your Picture memorabilia :D Such a sweet thing to do.

Subbed, fantastic video! 😃

Great video, Crispy! Your reactions were so much fun to watch and as someone who has seen EVERY single Classic Who story + the '96 movie, it was very entertaining. XD Now you HAVE to watch Pyramids of Mars. You won't regret it! :D

Glad you liked it! Watching them one episode - rather than story at a time - is definitely a better watch for new viewers as you say at the end of the vid. They're real serial story-telling with cliff hangers and a lot of repetition, never designed to be watched in one go. If an episode a week takes too long, I'd say you could do an episode a day and get closer to the effect of how they work as pieces of storytelling. Thanks for the vid Crispy

You have so much good stuff to watch.

As an American Teenage Doctor Who fan who has seen Classic Who (or at least is currently making my way through it) It's certainly refreshing to know that there are some other Doctor Who KZfaqrs who haven't made it as far as I have. As for the problem of attention spans and such, there have been points when I have gotten bored of the show and stopped watching for weeks or even months at a time. I've only gotten through less than 3 doctors in over two years. But I have a lot more focus than many other people my age, and I very much enjoy classic who. There's no reason not to get into it.

Peter Cushing's Doctor Who is worth a watch if you haven't. I hope I'm not the only one to suggest it. But if you watch that, you need to watch Hartnell's first set of episodes, not just his last. ❤❤

Genesis Of The Daleks is where I started, on a Friday night BBC2 repeat run in January 1993!

I´d really love more of this in the future

People who call themselves Doctor Who fans without watching the classic series are like people who never go to church but call themselves Christians.

Paul McGgann was the Movie

Some of my fondest memories as a young child are watching Dr Who with my Grandfather back in the 70's

NEED A PART 2!!!!

This was a great video, and is secretly how most fans feel but a lot of people are a bit frightened to say it. 🤣 I've made 9 episodes of Doctor Who Velocity without seeing half of the episodes.
