1) The War Games - Climaxing on one of the most thrilling,
more epic stories ever
2) Power of the Daleks - Kick starting on a peerless note
3) The Mind Robber - Surreal, literate, funny, terrifying
and constantly surprising
To be reviewed...
4) Evil of the Daleks - Implausible but one classic scene
after another
To be reviewed...
5) The Invasion - Season six gets some stick but there are
three absolute classics
6) The Enemy of the World - I loved this BEFORE it was
discovered
7) Fury from the Deep - Genuinely disturbing and some
excellent characterisation
To be reviewed...
8) The Web of Fear - Haunting and exciting, if overlong
9) Tomb of the Cybermen - Stylish and foreboding and
occasionally quite ropey
10) The Ice Warriors - A fantastic character tale
To be reviewed...
11) The Macra Terror - Really different and it stands out because
of it
12) The Seeds of Death - Brilliant entertainment, I love the
score and Troughton excels
13) The Abominable Snowmen - Unusual and disquieting,
there's nothing else quite like this
To be reviewed...
14) The Highlanders - Comical and dramatic but not a patch
on the historicals of the past
To be reviewed...
15) The Underwater Menace - Rubbish, but strangely hypnotic
and engaging
16) The Faceless Ones - Far too long but it feels fresh and
contemporary
17) The Krotons - Mercifully short but compact and rather
lovely for it
18) The Moonbase - Formulaic, but with a lot of style
19) The Wheel in Space - Pretty dull with only the regulars
enlivening things
20) The Space Pirates - Occasionally fun but mostly flat and
uninteresting
To be reviewed...
21) The Dominators - I find it hard to commend this, it's so
dreadfully dull

If only The power of the Daleks was found...
Watched them all in order, only the existing episodes. Love Troughton. He is really pushing Pertwee for my 2nd favourite Doctor. We will see after I watch those stories.
My Top 5.
1. The Invasion
2. The War Games
3. Web of Fear
4. Evil of the Daleks
5. Tomb of the Cybermen
I can't believe the same show gave us The Gunfighters. Season 5 was flawless, 6 highly underrated, 4 still finding its feet. War Games extremely sad. Watch them in order 2 episodes a night, they are all much more palatable and enjoyable. Happy 100 Patrick.
