The Wrong Doctors - no idea what the hell is happening in it but it is brilliant all the same.

Surprisingly more hits in this batch then I thought. Regards mark687 Finding the exact opposite to be honest! A lot of downright plodders here. Protect And Survive - Duck and cover, Threads, War Of THe Worlds, When The Wind Blows all in a lovely, dark blender. Silver Turk - When is Neil Gaiman paying his Nightmare In SIlver royalties for this one? Masters Of Earth - Daleks in Scotland? Easy pick for the home team Rani Elite - I just wish Kate O'Mara got to do BF. She wanted to and with writing like this I'm sure she'd have done great. Secret History - Last Of The Cybermen currently has twice as many votes as this despite being a dull, derivative nothing story. This is the only good one of the Locum trilogy and it's a corker. Davison's having a ball and to get Graham Garden back as The Monk was a real treat and a genuine surprise, something we don't get often. I struggled to get 5 out this lot. |

I would agree with Davy. This is one of the weaker batches of stories. What is funny about it is, for me anyway, the strongest titles are 5th Doctor stories and the weakest are also 5th Doctor. Hits include The Emerald Tiger, The Lady of Mercia, Fanfare for the Common Men and Equilibrium. Misses include The Jupiter Conjunction, Moonflesh, Eldrad Must Die!, The Entropy Plague, Tomb Ship and Masquerade.

I struggled to get 5 out this lot. See those are 2 awful ones IMO
Rani back to too much TV Era style after the brilliant Widow's Assassin and Masters of Earth
Secret History is just a dull mess and as for the Surprise it was on the Cover

Davison's having a ball and to get Graham Garden back as The Monk was a real treat and a genuine surprise, something we don't get often. Good points! Another vote for The Secret History it is then - although I did vote for Last Of The Cybermen also, I really did enjoy that. (I very much liked having a story with the Sixth Doctor and companions from the Second Doctor era that isn't quite as bonkers as the Six and Jamie trilogy, actually - and I couldn't help but like Lanky). |

Well, when you buy me them you can tell me which ones to like  What did I say? I struggled to get to five! Ergo I'm not dying on the cross for any of this lot! The character on the front is most assuredly not Graham Garden posing so I didn't know going in - and neither did quite a lot of others when that first ep was released early. Caused quite a bit of chat on the old forum. It's still ten times the story the other two are even taking that out of the equation. Even if the ep were called "It's The Monk Wot Done It", it's entirely better than Last Of The Cybermen. |

Don't think this run is as good... Sadly, this is where the Main Range hit a bit of a rocky patch and the quality went in places. Too many sequels as well to TV stories...
Agree with the comments here about Davison - think he's had some of the best stories here (Fanfare for the Common Men is one, the Emerald Tiger another) and some real clunkers (Mistfall? Tombship?)
The Assassination Games deserves a mention and is exactly the approach I like with McCoy - would love to see more with the Seventh as an MP!!
