Just so you know, in Fires of Pompeii there's a dialogue that the Doctor talks about causing the fire. When Donna asks if he was there before he says "Mmm. Ages ago. Before you ask, that fire had nothing to do with me. Well, a little bit. But I haven't got the chance to look around properly."

1. The daleks - introduction of the most iconic doctor who monsters 2. The invasion - has my favourite monsters and one of the best human villains IMO 3. The sea devils - a great episode for third doctor action and the doctor and master’s relationship 4. The pyramids of mars - gothic horror meets sci-fi and one of the best one-off villains 5. The five doctors - a fun anniversary special which feels like a proper celebration of Who up to the mid eighties. Or watch Kinda for one of Janet Fielding’s best performances 6. Revelation of the daleks - a more dark and morbid dalek story that also has a dj wielding a rock and roll gun 7. Survival - a great exploration of the doctor, ace, and the master. Also makes sense to finish your trilogy with the finale of the classic era

@@StanTheSlitheen Thanks, Carnival is my favourite Pertwee by some distance, yet it is also one of the most atypical of his era. Really enjoy the Doctor and Jo's interaction on the ship and their OTT "surrogates" Vorg and Shirna. Seeds of Doom is one of those rare six-parters which is watchable in one sitting, there isn't too much padding. I think because it is basically structured as a two-parter in Antarctica then a four-parter in Chase's mansion. Also I adore the character Amelia Ducat. Something of a forerunner for Beatrix Leahman's Prof Rumsford in Stones of Blood.

Second doctor: Enemy of the World (most "classic" doctor who episode, I have watched it in its entirety 4 times) Third doctor: inferno (although not my personal favorite, objectively the best; the perfect third doctor story) Fourth doctor: Warrior's gate (I should probably rewatch it, but I remember loving this episode, I believe it was something about knowing just enough but wanting to know more; cool settings and ideas too) Fifth doctor: enlightenment (personal favorite, although plot heavy due to key to time arc and mawdryn undead; a lot of companion development) Sixth doctor: Revelation of The Daleks (best tv episode of my favorite doctor) Seventh doctor: The Happiness Patrol (shows the darker nature of the show, and along with most of sevens run, it unintentionally serves as a bridge between the writing style of classic who and nu who)

[@TheGerkuman]

While The Doctor's reaction to inspiring the great fire of Rome still is weird, it does make more sense in context due to how much The Doctor understood Time Travel. In The Aztecs (and I am trying very hard here to keep it spoiler free) The Doctor says that history cannot be changed, but by the end of the episode he realises that their presence can cause some small changes. This is another step down the road; history can't be changed but their presence could influence really important things. And it's only a few steps down the road then before The Doctor accepts that time is mutable so we can have episodes like Pyramids of Mars and Day of the Daleks, and the revival had to come up with the fixed points in time thing to try to make both 'you can't change history' and 'you can change history' be possible at the same time.

The great thing about Classic Who is that there's no such thing as "watching all of it", and quite apart from the fact that it's not built for binge-watching, it's just a hard limit that the number of people who have seen "every episode" are going down every year as they die off.

Best ones you have yet to cover 1. Planet of Giants 2. The Mind Robber 3. Planet of the Daleks 4. Image of the Fendhal 5. The Awakening 6. The Two Doctors 7. Delta and the Bannermen

[@Someoneinthecomments-to8tm]

1. The Aztecs 2. The Mind Robber (same length as the daemons but there aren't many Troughton 4 parters) 3. Spearhead from Space 4. Pyramids of Mars 5. Kinda 6. Revelation of the Daleks 7. Ghost Light (controversial pick but I think it's fantastic)

[@ZoomerUnion]

Mind Robber is the length of a typical 4-parter bc some of its episodes are shorter

[@williammcnirlan4820]

If he does Ghostlight he would need to rewatch it straight away. It is one that you pick up more on later rewatches.

[@BrendanJSmith]

*aren't many SURVIVING Troughton 4-parters

[@mattpearson6947]

1st doctor: The Time Meddler 2nd doctor: The Moonbase (first introduction to an animation) 3rd doctor: Spearhead From Space 4th doctor: Pyramids Of Mars 5th doctor: The Five Doctors 6th doctor: Revelation Of The Daleks 7th doctor: Survival

[@kingbeauregard]

3rd Doctor: Planet of the Spiders (regeneration episode, also has the Brigadier) 7th Doctor: Battlefield (Brigadier episode)

[@nigelwalker6103]

The Curse of Fenric is one of the best classic Doctor Who stories ever. Way more complex and intelligent than most of new Who. There is a lot of subtext about the characters pasts which is intriguing and fitting as the story is about hidden depths literally and metaphorically.

[@MrBully1967]

When The Caves of Androzani was first shown in Australia some of the violence was cut out - including Morgus’ nasty death at the end. JNT the producer visited Australia at the time and he said he had had some words with the ABC but to no avail.

[@JasonRamsey-qn3ov]

I'm really enjoying these videos. Having watched them all, it's fun to get a fresh opinion on these classics. Here are my recommendations for the next video: 1st: The War Machines 2nd: The Invasion 3rd: Terror of the Autons 4th: Pyramids of Mars 5th: Frontios 6th: The Mysterious Planet 7th: Ghost Light

[@StuAcker]

I've tried to give some reasons why you should watch these stories without ssh...spoilers 😉 Doc 1: The Keys of Marinus (A bouncy, fast paced story that tries to do different genres!) Doc 2: The Invasion (An iconic story with some great twists!) Doc 3: Terror of The Autons (The 1st ever Master story!) Doc 4: The Stones of Blood (Romana 1!) Doc 5: Mawdryn Undead (An actual time travel episode!) Doc 6: Revelation of The Daleks (Brutal...just brutal. No mercy!) Doc 7: The Happiness Patrol (They were smoking something hallucigenic when they made this!)

[@eloqi]

This is a list I can get behind.

[@gazda69]

Stones of Blood is so underrated.

[@mtdl3x]

1st: The War Machines 2nd: The Mind Robber 3rd: Terror of The Autons (Master's debut!) 4th: The Stones of Blood (Romana 1!) 5th: Enlightenment (insane!) 6th: Revelation of the Daleks (Colin in a blue coat!) 7th: Ghost Light (Creepy mansion!)

[@benpunter]

1st - The Chase 2nd - The Moonbase 3rd - The Green Death 4th - Seeds Of Doom 5th - The Visitation 6th - Two Doctors 7th - Happiness Patrol

[@richardgurney1844]

Always love seeing you appreciate Classic Who :). Watch these next!: 1st Doctor - The Aztecs; this is a pure historical one, and it holds up VERY well! (The War Machines and The Tenth Planet are great recommendations too) 2nd Doctor - The War Games; widely considered one of the best Classic Who stories (Web of Fear is another great one, and my Mum's personal favorite!) 3rd Doctor - Inferno; you need to see this one already! 4th Doctor - anything from series 12-14 really; how about Pyramids of Mars? :) 5th Doctor - Kinda, it's great; or Mawdryn Undead, it's time-travel-y 6th Doctor - The Twin Dilemma; widely regarded as one of the worst Doctor Who stories, it'll be fun watching you react to it! (or The Trial of a Time Lord, because it's ridiculously long!) 7th Doctor - The Happiness Patrol; underrated and on the wacky side! Whichever ones you end up doing, thank you for the videos :)

[@drawingtime-lapses2524]

Twin Dilum is the worst story by the big doctor, who pool

[@V3N0MI99B]

1: The War Machines 2: Enemy of the World 3: the three Doctors 4: Horror of Fang Rock 5: The Visitation 6: Revelation of the Daleks 7: Happiness Patrol Hope you enjoy more of classic Who :)

[@takebackconstantinople82]

I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO DO THIS!

[@derekhart3308]

If wasn't the orginal Doctor Who there wouldn't be, Doctor Who now! OK, despite the special effects, it's superior to the new in any shape size of form.

[@zchawk]

Oh someone was absolutely having you on recommending The Krotons.

[@DigiRangerScott]

I'm still in the early Third Doctor in the four months since it landed on Tubi in the US. I think I’m on the second or third story but there's a definite energy improvement

[@BrendanJSmith]

I'm just annoyed that Tubi doesn't have the animations mixed in with the surviving 1960s episodes. Like if a partially lost story isn't fully animated, then it's not on there. However, I will give points for having Shada included.

[@TwoCentReview]

-1st Doctor: The Aztecs: Great historical with an obviously bigger budget. Very engaging questions about the morality of time travel. I would love to see this colorized because of the costumes and sets. -2nd Doctor: Evil of the Daleks (the original time that the Daleks were meant to stay dead) -3rd Doctor: The Three Doctors: The first ever multi-Doctor story. Great villain in Omega and a lot of fun. -4th Doctor: Pyramids of Mars: Great one-shot villain in Sutekh, God of Darkness. -5th Doctor: The Five Doctors: This has everyone in it: 4 Doctors, Sarah Jane Smith, Cybermen, The Master, and we can’t forget the unstoppable Raston Warrior Robot! -6th Doctor: Revelation of the Daleks. Can’t go wrong with 6 and Davros. -7th Doctor: Ghostlight: Extremely weird, but also entertaining.

[@codibooker5091]

oh wait you did do it again!!! still would definitely love to see you watch even more classic doctor who

[@90sArchive]

1st) Keys Of Marinus 2nd) Enemy of the World 3rd) Inferno 4th) Seeds of Doom 5th) The Visitation 6th) The Two Doctors 7th) Greatest Show In The Galaxy

[@relative-dimension-in-space]

I think The Krotons is better than it tends to get credit for but yeah, I never would have recommended that as one of your first tastes of that era lol. I’m very glad you watched The Romans and The Dæmons! I haven’t seen much beyond the first three eras of Classic Who myself (slow-going for reasons outside of my control) so I can only really recommend from those three. If you’re planning to do this again, my suggestions: Hartnell: - An Unearthly Child. That first episode is absolutely amazing and mysterious. The next three can be slow for those who aren’t used to it, especially in juxtaposition to episode one, but you seem to be taking this like a champ so I’d definitely recommend taking a look at how it all started. - The Aztecs. There’s a reason it has its reputation as a great story. Very strong stuff for each character and it’s a really interesting early dive into the complications of time travel and what can or can’t be changed and what should or shouldn’t be changed. - The Time Meddler. Another top favorite, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it anymore. Extremely solid story and the first proper foray into what would become the main format of the show, with an alien element involved in the past rather than the pure historicals up until that point. It’s also the first introduction of a Gallifreyan besides the Doctor and Susan. - The Gunfighters. This one seems to get mixed reviews but my goodness is it ridiculous fun imo. - The War Machines. It’s pure 60s sci-fi and always engaging. Honorable mention to The Tenth Planet, which is spectacular but I hesitate to recommend the final story of a Doctor you’ve not seen much of. I have to cut myself off there because I could keep going on with personal favorites that don’t necessarily work as introductions, and if I let myself get into missing episodes I’d be here all night. Troughton: - The Power of the Daleks. I know I just said I was avoiding missing episodes, but that’s harder with this era, and this one is so iconic and you clearly loved Troughton in your first go so I’d be remiss if I didn’t put it here. It’s his very first and it’s amazing. I prefer reconstructions but for a newcomer to this stuff you might want to go for the animation. - The Evil of the Daleks. This one has an earned reputation as being iconic. Only one part survives so once again you’d have to deal with either reconstructions or the animation, but it’s worth it. - Enemy of the World. This is a top favorite for me. Troughton is in a double role and is absolutely incredible in it. The whole thing is extremely entertaining and gripping imo. - The Mind Robber. Incredibly enjoyable dive into some true surrealness and fantasy. - The Invasion. If you loved Tomb then you’ll love this, too. Fair warning that it’s 8 episodes and 1 & 4 are missing, but my goodness is it a good one. Honorable mention to The War Games. Once again I don’t necessarily want to recommend the final story of a Doctor you haven’t seen much of (and it’s 10 episodes), but I don’t want to not mention it either because it’s really a standout. Pertwee: - Spearhead from Space. Very solid introduction to this incarnation and the UNIT setting. - Inferno. Absolutely incredible and gripping in the most intense, edge-of-your-seat kind of way. I was genuinely alarmed. - Terror of the Autons. First introduction to Jo, the Master, AND Yates, and just a super enjoyable story all around. - The Three Doctors. No need to explain why this one comes with a strong recommendation, based on the title! Extremely engaging, I love every second. - Carnival of Monsters. Another very fun romp that I find quite engaging and also shows off the dynamic of the Doctor and Jo well. They’re one of my favorite duos so I definitely recommend any of their stuff, but this is a good one to get a feel for it.

[@BrendanJSmith]

Oh, you NEED to experience the Tom Baker era!

[@relative-dimension-in-space]

@@BrendanJSmith Nearly there actually lol, and I had seen a little bit of his era prior to starting from the beginning. It's just been slow-going because I watch it with my sister and we don't always have the time. Been going at a much better pace these days though, I'm excited to reach Four again!

[@josephcooter5763]

The woman appearing besides Clease in City of Death was Elanor Bruan best know for appearing in the film HELP along with the Beatles.

[@danielisoverheating]

Really loved this video, Crispy! I agree that City of Death is the GREATEST classic story of all time - it's hilarious! PLEASE watch The Enemy of the World for your next Patrick Troughton story!! Can't wait for the next vid. 👍

[@BrendanJSmith]

The pure shock and despair in your voice at 11:25 made me laugh way harder than it should've!

[@benjaminpechaver9237]

The Two Doctors for Collin baker

[@Djarra]

My recommendations are: The Daleks (original or the 90 minute colourised version) The Web of Fear (First appearance of The Brig, albeit merely a Colonial) Inferno (A Man in the High Castle riff with an evil Brig) The Sun Makers (K9 has a Weeping Angel mode) Caves of Androzani (Fives swan song) Vengeance on Varos (this predicted modern TV, and Colin makes a couple of great ad-lib puns) The Happiness Patrol (seems as relevant now as then, plus pink TARDIS)

[@jessetorres8738]

If you're going to complete a trilogy of watching Classic Era Doctor Who, here's the stories I'd recommend for each Doctor: 1st Doctor: Daleks. 2nd Doctor: Web Of Fear. 3rd Doctor: Inferno. 4th Doctor: Warrior's Gate. 5th Doctor: Visitation. 6th Doctor: Revelation Of The Daleks. 7th Doctor: Battlefield. 8th Doctor: Movie (1996), if you haven't already.

[@glenrea]

If you get to watch the unedited feature length version of Fenric it had a lot of the missing material restored, making the overall storyline a lot less messy. My recommendations to try: 1st - Tenth Planet 2nd - Power of the Daleks (remade as animation) 3rd - Inferno 4th - Ark in Space 5th - Black Orchid 6th - Revelation of the Daleks 7th - Ghost Light

[@calebleland8390]

Here's a quick list of suggestions, good sir: 1. The Gunfighters (just because it's a fun episode, IMO) 2. The War Games 3. The Green Death 4. The Talons of Weng Ciang 5. Black Orchid 6. The Two Doctors 7. Battlefield - we got The Brigadier back!

[@amorferam5704]

Hey! Going through chronologically so haven't watched 6th and 7th yet, and not enough of 5th to give you episodes but: 1st: The time Meddler 2nd: The Enemy of the World 3rd: The Mind of Evil 4th: The Zygon Invasion

[@samc8534]

Excellent stuff once again! Here's my recommendation list, with a few notes that I tried to make as spoiler-free as possible: 1 - The Tenth Planet (Features companions you haven't yet seen, notable for introducing key features of the show) 2 - The Web of Fear (Notable companion introduction) 3 - Spearhead from Space (Features a companion you haven't seen before) 4 - Robots of Death (Features a companion you haven't seen before) 5 - Terminus (Features a companion you haven't seen before, generally underrated) 6 - Revelation of the Daleks (Just a good one) 7 - Paradise Towers (Features a companion you haven't seen before, criminally underrated)

[@SFGGB-o7u]

Great Video! I don't have many suggestions for Classic Who but I am currently a new Whovian watching nuwho before Season 1. I'm trying to think of episodes to rewatch but I think it's cool how you other Whovians have watched NuWho many times and barley any classic who

[@tomw4014]

Keep up this series, it's great to have your fresh eyes on the Classic Who stories :) I started doing my Classic Who run around about 14/15 with borrowing DVDs from the library (around 2008/2009). I wanted to watch in order though and have definitely struggled over the years without jumping too far ahead, though I'm now on Tom Baker's last series, and have seen eps from Syl McCoy, and saw the TV movie years ago. My fave Classic Doctor is defs Patrick Troughton, he, Jamie and Zoe were just such a fantastic team :D Anyway, great video as always!

[@paulhammond6978]

Well, you watched some great episodes of Doctor Who there. And the Krotons. I think the cliffhanger at the end of part 3 of Caves of Androzani is one of the strongest they ever had.

[@Sparx632]

Watching Classic Who it's actually weird how many times the Doctor faced a firing squad. Here's a list for each classic Doctor: 1st - The Chase 2nd - The War Games 3rd - Inferno 4th - The Armageddon Factor 5th - Castrovalva 6th - The Mark of the Rani 7th - Greatest Show in the Galaxy

[@kirar9953]

the ket to classic who black and whites is to watch it in bits, its the best way to absorb the story without feeling the filler. like the invasion (second doctor story) is really good imo, but its not something that you realistically should sit and watch start too finish, you'll die of boredom. that being said there are some really solid first and second doctor stories, you made a good pick with the romans. idk i love watching the b&w episodes and just marveling at how they were able to produce what they did with the time and money constraints they constantly had. side note- they have animated some killer second doctor missing episodes, the power of the daleks is so good!

[@kirar9953]

oh and obviously you should watch enemy of the world and the web of fear if you havent

[@elviswalters2648]

Great video as always! I recommend: 1- The Aztecs 2 - The Power of the Daleks (animated reconstruction - I prefer the black and white version) 3- Inferno 4- The Sun Makers 5- Black Orchid 6- The Mark of the Rani 7- Ghost Light If you’re looking to get into Big Finish at all I highly recommend Spare Parts (a 5th Doctor story which was a loose basis for Rise of the Cybermen) and Jubilee (a 6th Doctor story which was a loose basis for Rob Shearman’s Dalek)

[@jefflimrick6048]

Congratulations! Happy anniversary! Maybe you can be a part of the Doctor Who crew in Cardiff! Now that would be fantastic! You have a lot of talent it definitely shows! You’ll go far indeed! Good luck in all future endeavors! You’ll be fantastic!🎉🎉

[@tvc1569]

1st Doctor: The Gunfighters (or Daleks Master Plan) 2nd Doctor: Enemy of the World 3rd Doctor: Inferno 4th Doctor: Horror of Fang Rock 5th Doctor: Resurrection of the Daleks 6th Doctor: The Two Doctors 7th Doctor: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

[@timecontroller8800]

Good selection but I think daleks master plan while is one of my faves would be difficult for him to watch

[@gumblejackharkness6519]

Suggestions for next time: 1. The Time Meddler 2. The Mind Robber 3. Carnival of Monsters 4. Warrior’s Gate 5. Mawdryn Undead 6. The Two Doctors 7. Ghost Light (or) Survival

[@willadeefriesland5107]

A list you might watch... First Doctor- The Chase / The War Machines Second Doctor- The Moobase/ The Invasion Third Doctor- Inferno/ The Mind of Evil Fourth Doctor- Genesis of the Daleks/ The Deadly Assassin/ The Talons of Weng Chiang/ Nightmare of Eden Fifth Doctor- Black Orchid/ Earthshock Sixth Doctor- The Mark of the Rani/ The Two Doctors Seventh Doctor- Paradise Towers/ Remembrance of the Daleks/ Silver Nemesis/ Battlefield... Some are my favorites, some you will probably enjoy more than I do. The disparity in numbers is not necessarily reflective of my more favorite Doctors. Although the two respective unrelated 'Baker Boys', Tom and Colin are ranked one and two for myself...
