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. I second that - one of my earliest memories is of The Pertwee Years VHS which featured Inferno Part 7, opening with that lava and then featuring Primords in all their frightening action back in 'our' world. Absolutely terrified me, in a good sort of way. Any of the Who monsters that seemed more like killing, unreasoning monsters always scared me most (why I also had a deathly fear of the Mandrels, and felt like I'd been a mature child when I picked out Nightmare of Eden for us to watch one evening). Another memory that's stuck in my brain as nightmare fuel is the reveal of the human-Vervoid hybrid in Terror of the Vervoids. Ugh, that was absolutely horrifying! I also remember having several Who related nightmares as a kid, including one where I was cowering in a closet as an Ice Warrior ripped the door off of its hinges, leading to me running out and finding my mom who (in the dream, mind) reassured me that this was all fake and just a dream. Good times!

Rewinding my video of the TV Movie, over and over, just to listen to the end titles. I've definitely not lost this bizarre habit, as I've watched the series 11 opening titles a few dozen times already. When the 10th Doctor regenerated in 2010, I was in hospital and watched it in my room. It was a very emotional time, and when he said " I don't want to go", it really hit me. My mate surprised me by announcing he had bought tickets to see 'Day of the Doctor'at the cinema, I was totally blown away and it was an amazing experience.

Good times! I first saw Inferno from a video copy at our local library, that unbeknownst to me had been overwound in someone's recorder before they'd returned it; the tape switched off during the end credits for "Episode Six". For years, I thought the story had been open-ended, leaving us completely unaware of whether or not the Doctor had made it back to our world to stop the project. I didn't see the complete story in ages, but it's up there as one of the show's best cliffhangers for me personally. The final one for Horror of Fang Rock with the Doctor and Leela over the body. It might be why the Rutans have made such an impact on me after the fact. I had no idea what it looked like, no idea what its intentions were, just that they were trapped and the Doctor's come to a realisation:

Switching the tv on at my nans in 1979 & seeing the ITV testcard because they was on strike, i turned on BBC 1 & it announced the next programme was Doctor Who which was City Of Death part one, i watched, i enjoyed & when Scaroth ripped his face off i sh.t myself & hid under my nans table petrified.
That was the beginning of my love for Doctor Who.

Seeing State Of Decay 2x cassette read by Tom Baker in Woolworths & begging my mom to buy it me, it was £2.99.
I'm getting nostalgic.

Running into the kitchen in 1981 to tell my mom Doctor Who has turned into the vet from All Creatures Great & Small, her look was one of confusion, she still looks at me like that at 43.

Adrics death in Earthshock upset me so bad i couldn't finish eating my sausage & chips as i cried at his shock demise.
Of course my mom was reassuring in saying don't worry Simon the Doctor will find a way to save him next week.......Hmmmmmm obviously parents don't know everything.

The Caves Of Androzani literally terrified me upon original transmission, i remember being at my nans watching it on her Black & White tv & being absolutely petrified of Sharaz Jek.

Revelation Of The Daleks, another story that had me frozen in fear, the scene Stengos is being taken over by the Dalek begging his daughter to kill him absolutely terrified me i was watching through the cracks of my fingers.
I must've enjoyed being scared regularly as a kid because i kept on watching Doctor Who, great thread i hope you liked me sharing some of my happiest Who memories.

The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances are the two episodes I'll probably remember the best - it was exactly then that my interest in Doctor Who became a full-blown obsession. Just in general, I remember the conversations with the friends at school who got me into the show becoming increasingly more enthusiastic with each week. Those were some good times.
Other than that, I remember watching The Day of the Doctor by myself on a stormy weekend, being disappointed with it, and then accompanying a friend to a theatrical showing of it a week later (I think?) - both of us dressed as the Eleventh, naturally - and having an absolute blast. I still have my qualms about the special, but I view it more fondly now.
