The famous Five Faces of Doctor Who season is a legend. If they did it all over again, what would you choose for the 14 Doctors?
For Me
One: The War Machines Two: The Mind Robber Three: Day of the Daleks Four: City of Death Five: The Caves of Androzanni Six: The Two Doctors Seven: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy Eight: TV Movie by default Nine: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances Ten: Silence in the Library/The Forest of the Dead Eleven: A Christmas Carol War: Day of the Doctor again by default Twelve: World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls Thirteen: Demons of the Punjab

Hello again.
I'm feeling in a very silly mood. How about this Faces of Dr. Who season?
First Doctor: The Chase. Second Doctor: The Krotons. Third Doctor: The Time Monster. Fourth Doctor: Meglos. Fifth Doctor: Timeflight. Sixth Doctor: Timelash. Seventh Doctor: Time and the Rani. Ninth Doctor: Aliens of London/World War III. Tenth Doctor: Daleks in Manhatten/ Evolution of the Daleks. Eleventh Doctor: Closing Time. Twelfth Doctor: Sleep No More. Thirteenth Doctor: The Tsarunga Conundrum.
What an eclectic, eccentric, excellent collection of stories...I'll get my coat!

Hello again.
Now on BBC4, relive a fifty-five year journey through time and space as we explore Dr Who. Every Doctor, two episodes every week, we begin with the first Doctor William Hartnell and The Aztecs.
The Aztecs The War Games The Silurians The Seeds of Doom Earthshock Mark of the Rani Remembrance of the Daleks
Doctor Who the Movie
Empty Child/Doctor Dances Human Nature/Family of Blood The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang The Day of the Doctor World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls Demons of the Punjab
It is a fascinating exercise this because everyone's list will be different. Have a go!

Ok, these are the stories I would choose for such a season as a good intro story for the character and spirit of that Doctor, and good stories, but not necessarily my favourites or the best (if the best ones are atypical): (And in the spirit of the original 'Five Faces', each story must be a four-parter (goodbye Genesis, Talons, Two Doctors, etc. ) or a normal length single episode (no Twelve finale etc. but Eight is allowed The Movie for obvious reasons!)
1 The Time Meddler 2 The Tomb of the Cybermen 3 The Claws of Axos
4 The Ark in Space
5 The Visitation
6 Vengeance on Varos 7 Remembrance of the Daleks 8 The Movie 9 The Unquiet Dead 10 The Girl in the Fireplace 11 Victory of the Daleks 12 Mummy on the Orient Express 13 Demons of the Punjab

Let's see... As a primer, with no knowledge of the series whatsoever beforehand:
01. The Aztecs. Nice enough length, introducing the first historical story of the run. 02. The Tomb of the Cybermen. Introduction to the legendary Cybermen and a future story. 03. Terror of the Autons. A sideways story, of sorts, introducing the Master. 04. The Brain of Morbius. Our proper introduction to the Time Lords by proxy and their less-than-shiny history. 05. Snakedance. It's a sequel, but you don't really need any knowledge of Kinda to follow it and it shows Five in his element. 06. Vengeance on Varos. A powerful introduction to Sixie with completely original elements. 07. Remembrance of the Daleks. Our Dalek story and a glorious soft reboot (a la Terror) that re-introduces Totter's Lane and elements such. 08. TV Movie. There can be only one (and his mate, Brian). 09. Dalek. It was tough, but Rob Shearman won out with the story that pretty much defines quite a lot of Nine's character. 10. The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit. Deeply unsettling and probably the best standalone demonstration of the new series's capacity for atmosphere. Plus Gabriel Woolf. 11. Vincent and the Doctor. I mean, you can't ask for a more bittersweet and affecting bit of television than the Doctor's time with Van Gogh. 12. The Pilot. I know, it's a bit like recommending The Ribos Operation from The Key to Time, but as introductions go, this one's solid for Twelve. 13. Demons of the Punjab. Standalone and it brings the whole run full circle. We're back to a pure historical with the Doctor tryiing to survive history.

Hmmm sticking to the two-hour timeslot is hard, mostly because Patrick Troughton is left with only two choices - Tomb and Krotons - and neither is really my favourite story. So I offer two options: My 50th Anniversary playlist that I watched back in 2013: 1. The Time Meddler 2. The War Games 3. The Three Doctors 4. Genesis of the Daleks 5. Mawdryn Undead 6. Attack of the Cybermen 7. Survival 8. The Chimes of Midnight 9. The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances 10. Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead 11. The Angels Take Manhattan, Cold War
(Then on the 23rd I watched An Unearthly Child pt. 1 followed by Remembrance, AAISAT and DOTD.) What I would choose NOW within the two-hour rule and sticking to existing TV stories: 1. The Time Meddler 2. Tomb of the Cybermen 3. The Time Warrior 4. City of Death 5. Mawdryn Undead 6. Timelash 7. Remembrance of the Daleks 8. TVM W. The Day of the Doctor 9. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances 10. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead 11. The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon 12. Dark Water/Death in Heaven 13. With no two-parters I'll give a cheap answer: Punjab & Resolution!
BONUS Big Finish, not necessarily the number one favourite audio but one that's a good story, easily accessible and does good stuff with its Doctor: 1. The Doctor's Tale 2. The Yes Men 3. The Tyrants of Logic 4. The Wrath of the Iceni 5. Fanfare for the Common Men 6. Criss-Cross 7. The Harvest 8. The Chimes of Midnight W. The Innocent 9. Retail Therapy 10. Death and the Queen (No idea for #11 and there's only one option for #12...)
