Dear Flist (and the World at Large):

I know there are only about four Who people reading this, and only two? three? old schoolers, but I'm asking this anyway. Maybe someone is wandering by who can help me, or maybe I've missed a repository of knowledge. Either way:

I'm looking for recommendations for old school Doctor Who arcs. I'll swing any Doctor, any companion. Things I've seen already are City of Death, Hand of Fear, Mawdryn Undead, The Happiness Patrol, and The Five Doctors. I just finished Mawdryn Undead -- boys screaming like girls! People with exposed brains, clothed in matching party streamers! Spinny green background of doom! Turlough, didn't your mother ever tell you not to make deals with men with waterfowl attached to their heads? I think Terror of the Autons is on deck.

Recommendations don't necessarily have to be classics -- though I would adore knowing what the classics are -- just arcs that were thoroughly enjoyed.

Much love,
Cherry

Five is the woobiest woobie that ever did woob. In my opinion, of course. :D And Tegan doesn't annoy me, either; she's not nearly as bad as half the characters on American television. x_x (Would that be plural, since there are two of her? ;D)

I giggled my way through most of that episode, I have to admit. Especially the look on Turlough's face when he steals the Brigadier's car. *snicker*

From what I've seen and heard, Hurndall did a pretty good job as Hartnell-as-the-Doctor. The Five Doctors was actually the first old!Who I ever saw, so I have a special place in my heart for it. :D
