Capaldi's reveal.
For someone who had wanted Capaldi, a local boy done good, since the show was announced to be coming back it felt surreal to finally get him when the show seemed to be a young man's game.
Other memories:
My McCoy and K9 Dapol figures as a wee boy in the late 80s/early 90s.
Seeing Carnival Of Monsters and The Two Doctors on UK Gold in 1993 or so.
The event that was the 50th, where the UK just became one big Who-con for a day.
The TV Movie. My first "new" Who.

The end of Logopolis.
I owned a guide to the series, but it ended with the end of Tom Baker's run. I knew that he regenerated at the end of the episode.
The tone of the entire season been elegiac and the conclusion was the fulfillment of that promise.
"It's the end... but the moment has been prepared for."
I was about twelve years old. I turned it off and I didn't know how to feel. Something I loved was over, so I was melancholy. But at the same time, it felt full of potential. This was beyond the era covered by my guidebook. I didn't know what to expect. It felt like anything could happen.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

The subplot involving Tommy in Planet Of The Spiders. For years I wanted to know what happened to him. It was, for me, a very powerful storyline in a story filled with powerful moments (and lots of padding). I can also date my arachnophobia from that story too.

Let's see... I should probably include my first meeting with the Daleks in Genesis, staring in shock, horror and disbelief at the credits rolling along past that fractured badge at the end of Earthshock, and K-9's amusing remarks although none in particular - I must have gotten an even bigger kick out of those than when jellybabies were being offered.

Really, the tail end of Season 18 - Romana's abrupt departure was kind of a gut-punch, then Tom's demise soon after (and my then-self not really knowing what the whole regeneration thing meant) was a fairly quick double-hit for me - back when entire stories were shown on subsequent Sunday mornings on my PBS outlet.

My 1st "scary for a lil kid" moment was Megolos (?). 4th Doctor with the cactus like face? 1st run, I was 5, maybe 6.

The one I would dream about would be the maggots creeping up on Jo Grant.

Discovering the show for the first time on Amazon. I remember sitting down and just binging through the entire series and wanting more. Which is how we got here.

Definitely the end of "The Dead Planet" with the Dalek advancing towards Barbara down the corridor.
The Doctor's confrontation with Koquillion at the end of The Rescue with both characters there to kill the other -- one because it's unfortunately necessary, the other because he actually likes it.
The absolutely ashen "You... killed Peri?" at the end of Mindwarp is still a gut punch.
Outside of televised Who...
The ending to Project: Lazarus is just... oh, it's phenomenal.
The Patient Zero trailer with its sombre violin still gives me chills.
Sylvester's performance in Colditz: "Built on how many corpses?!"
The Witch Hunters had me actively railing against the injustice in it.
I can still remember the mental imagery conjured up by Transit and Shakedown. Shakedown, in particular, has Benny's plot thread which I can't help but envisage in the same style as a LucasArts point-and-click adventure game.

Sea Devils coming out of the sea (with The Doctor and Jo on the beach) is a very strong early DW memory.

Waiting impatiently for either Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel to start (it was definitely one of those two).
Being bloody terrified by the Ood in The Satan Pit to the point I briefly left the room.
Actually being quite freaked out by Fear Her (I have rewatched as an adult, and it really does not hold up).
Being knocked for six by the reveal of the Master in Utopia, having read about the Master in the Monsters and Villains reference book.

Being at the dorms at university for the first night, don't know anyone, roommate MIA, and I found Doctor Who on the tiny cordless TV I had with me. The Fifth Doctor battled a Dalek menace and I was planted before the TV for the entire story, completely invested. Still love Five that special way you love your first Doctor. He got me through a lonely night in a strange new place and I've been following him around ever since.

Another one that I recalled was the cliffhanger at the end of I think was Inferno Part 6 where the Doctor sees the End Of The World coming at him - the CSO rush of lava heading straight at them. That made an impression upon me at the time.

My strongest childhood memory of DW is awkward. Over the years, I've come to think it's not actually something that happened, but an amalgam of things that my childish imagination fashioned. I have this very clear mental image of Pertwee and Jo climbing into Bessie after being chased by something, followed by a blob or an energy ball or something sliding down a drain grate in the floor. There were sounds in the drain that let the Doctor know something was coming, and that's why he and Jo were running. Part of me is thinking it's an amalgam of something from The Green Death and Planet of the Spiders, maybe with something that happened to Four.
That never actually happened, did it?

It sounds most like The Three Doctors Part 1 where as they park Bessie an energy blob comes out of the drain, they scramble out, and the blob touches the car and it vanishes.

Thanks, mark! That is probably it, or at least the basis of it. It's been ages since I've seen The Three Doctors, but I do have the DVD. I should probably pull it out and give it a watch soon. Maybe after I've gotten the boyfriend to watch Spearhead from Space.
