This is a really tough groupings of story to pick five. I could go with all 7th Doctor or all 5th Doctor if I wanted to. Architects of History remains one of the greatest things BF has ever done with the Klein trilogy being the best linked set of stories in the Main Range.

In my mind, this is the time period where the Seventh Doctor really had his renaissance. The Magic Mousetrap, A Thousand Tiny Wings, Survival of the Fittest, The Architects of History, Project: Destiny, A Death in the Family, and Robophobia are absolutely worthy additions to anyone's collection. And the Sixth Doctor also had a fantastic run with Charley Pollard - The Condemned, The Raincloud Man, and Patient Zero are all highlights of this stellar run, but all the rest are must-buys too! If that wasn't enough, his trilogy with Jamie also produced three astounding classics - Legend of the Cybermen is so absolutely insane it just has to be experienced for yourself!
The Eighth Doctor's time in the Main Range - for the time being, anyways - ended on a high note with The Girl Who Never Was. The only Doctor I'd say I haven't really heard much from during this period was the Fifth Doctor. The Eternal Summer was really great, but in my opinion most of the truly amazing stuff would come in the next 100 releases

Legend Of The Cybermen - Desert Island Disc. Using the literary world for the Land Of Fiction is obvious but using it to reveal some incredibly emotional truths? Not so much. Fantastic. There's a scene where Count Dracula gets on the radio to Little Lord Fauntleroy to see how The Artful Dodger is. WHat's not to love?
Death In The Family - Felt sure this would be running away with it, somehow it's second! The most wonderful pay off to BF's most ambitious arc.
45 - 3 good stories but in the Word Lord a truly great one which sets up the above
Heroes Of Sontar - The Sontarans were always comedy villains from Robert Holmes' first outing for them, this is one of the stories that remembers that best
Enemy Of The Daleks - I'm picking this for the score which is one completely unlike any other BF one. I like it taking that chance and sounding so non-WHo

I really don't get The Architects of History gathering less support than A Thousand Tiny Wings. Or Robophobia being more popular than The Architects of History. Anyway, for a series of poll threads, this continues to be more interesting than I would have thought.

I'd forgotten that this period was quite as strong as this - just shows how long ago I'd listened to these.
Definitely, McCoy has a good run here. The Hex arc, although quite dark, really does give an alternative to how travelling with the Doctor isn't always a smooth ride. As Hex is a BF created character, he can really be put through the ringer and he is. Definitely some harrowing experiences for him there. Enemy of the Daleks is a great story and actually brings Doctor Who into a more adult Science-Fiction Universe - probably the first NA-type story that actually feels like a NA story (the monsters in that release and their origins/creator are nightmarish enough, without adding in the horrors of the Daleks as well).
I think the best McCoy trilogy is here - Klein's first trilogy. Listening to these really made me realise how great McCoy could be if given the right stories and paired up against the right antagonist. Klein here is fantastic and, sadly, has never been bettered in her subsequent stories.
Baker does well hear too. Sadly, we say goodbye to Evelyn. However, the DI Menzies stories are great (love the Condemned and the Rain Cloud Man). The Brotherhood of the Daleks is one of those bonkers stories that just shouldn't work, but does...
Davison isn't that strong here. The first two Stockbridge stories are ok, but nothing to really stand out.

Blimey I need to relisten to Robophobia. See, here is another story I don't get all the love for. Yeah, it is Liv's introduction but as a play...it is good to very good. |
