Ranking the third Doctor adventures in order...


1) Inferno - Dramatically speaking, the strongest Doctor Who of all time

Not reviewed yet...

2) Carnival of Monsters - So different from the story above, but just as strong

3) Day of the Daleks - Plotting wise, this just about perfect

4) Invasion of the Dinosaurs - No I'm not crazy, I love this

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/season-eleven.html

6) The Daemons - A classic, with a great role for everyone

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/the-daemons-written-by-guy-leopold.html

7) Frontier in Space - Ridiculously entertaining for a story that is just escape/capture

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2014/04/frontier-in-space-written-by-malcolm.html

8) Dr Who & the Silurians - Powerful drama and a great moral dilemma

11) The Time Warrior - Pertwee in history just feels right

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-time-warrior-written-by-robert.html

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-green-death-written-by-robert.html

13) The Sea Devils - Forget the terrible score, this is exciting stuff

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/the-sea-devils-written-by-malcolm-hulke.html

14) Planet of the Spiders - Pertwee's swansong is a lot stronger than people think

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/planet-of-spiders-written-by-robert.html

15) The Curse of Peladon - Terrific alien characters and a fine plot

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/the-curse-of-peladon-written-by-brian.html

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/death-to-daleks-written-by-terry-nation.html

18) The Claws of Axos - Doctor Who as influenced by mind altering drugs

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/the-claws-of-axos-written-by-bob-baker.html

19) Colony in Space - Overlong but not without its charms

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/colony-in-space-written-by-malcolm.html

20) The Monster of Peladon - See above, overlong but not without its charms

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-monster-of-peladon-written-by-brian.html

21) Planet of the Daleks - A fun, tradition adventure that is never once innovative

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/08/planet-of-daleks-written-by-terry.html

22) The Three Doctors - Aside from the titular Doctors, mostly embarrassing

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/the-three-doctors-written-by-bob-baker.html

23) The Time Monster - An rich amount of embarrassments

http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/the-time-monster-written-by-robert.html

24) The Mutants - Claustrophobic, confused and terribly boring

    I enjoy The 3 Doctors more than I should due to Patrick Troughton's presence there. I could watch him all day!

    I would just like to mention on thing I love about the unloved Mutants: The scenes where The Doctor and Sondergaard send everybody else to safety and then get to work in figuring out what the tablets mean. Here, we have two scientists risking life and limb while they work together to solve a mystery. I can't think of another scene in Doctor Who that so well captures the sheer joy of science. The two scientists are clearly loving it, bouncing ideas off one another and every step they take towards the solution is its own reward. The story as a whole might not be much cop, but I could never tire of watching that bit.

    Surprised how low The Three Doctors is. I think its full of great ideas and more troughton is a gift. Not a fan of the daemons, a step too far into fantasy for Doctor Who i think

    Season 7
    1. Inferno
    2. Ambassadors of Death
    3. The Silurians
    4. Spearhead from Space
    Can't believe I am saying this as Spearhead is one of my favourites, but I really enjoyed the other 3 more this time round.

    1. Planet of the Spiders
    2. Invasion of the Dinosaurs
    3. Time Warrior
    4. Monster of Peladon

    Coming 5th or even 4th does not make these bad stories. Just a really strong season. Really enjoyed it.

    Best. Watching all in order.
    1. Inferno
    2. Green Death
    3. Planet of the Spiders
    4. Daemons
    5. Invasion of the Dinosaurs.

    Worst.
    1. The Mutants
    2. Time Monster
    3. Colony in Space
    4. Planet of the Daleks
    5. Day of the Daleks

    But I enjoyed all of them to be honest. None dragged, watch them 2 parts at a time. I do prefer Troughton as a Doctor. Season 8 Pertwee was not at all likeable, mellowed from Curse onwards. Some great stories though. Can't look past Inferno, but really enjoyed Green Death this time and Spiders, especially. Brilliant era.
