How to stay sane...

[elisi]

Stay away from the internet/news.

As you may have guessed I had Monday/Tuesday off work (co-incidence, I booked the days off ages ago to use up my annual leave), but I was back today & busy, so am feeling much better!

So to continue avoiding ~news, I thought I'd talk about Classic Who?

Within the last half year I've watched Inferno (with thanks to kerkevik_2014), City of Death (with thanks to enevarim), and (yesterday!) Tomb of the Cybermen (with thanks to our old parish priest who was giving away books/DVDs before he left last year (well, you could donate whatever you wanted).

However, although I enjoyed them all, my mind is blank. I'm useless at doing ordinary 'reviews', which is why I hardly ever write about whatever regular TV I might be watching. I'm sort of meta-or-nothing.

So talk to me? Do you love/hate/feel indifferent towards these episodes? Do they prove that Two/Three/Four is the best Doctor ever?

The bad thing is, I watch any given Doctor and they are the best ever. So...best ever Doctor. All of them!

*HUGS*

As a_phoenixdragon said, and paraphrasing the Brigadier before her, “Splendid Doctors. All of them.”

::::waves madly:::: I would love to give you my opinion, but... "my" classic Doctor was #5 so I only have a passing knowledge of 1-4. A little better on #3 but haven't seen those eps more than once.

I found the show on our local public tv station and fell in love; one of my coworkers at the time had been a giant Tom Baker fan and had knit her own K-9, so I've seen all of his eps but never warmed to him as I did to Peter Davison. I even bought the books. :) And what did I see last week while binge watching Miranda? Peter Davison as her old French teacher! Oh, be still my heart....

And may I say the only thing that's keeping me upright as I stay on top of Brexit is Tom Ellis.

I know you are avoiding news - but this is the best news of the day.

They are all My Doctor, because I am OLD, but Four probably just edges it for me, and City of Death is certainly one of my all-time favourites - Douglas Adams! John Cleese and Eleanor Bron! Fabulous storyline that makes sense.

OTOH, I can be equally vocal on behalf of Two, Five and Six, as well as Ten and Twelve. (Matt's a sweetie, but doesn't quite cut it for me. Sorry.)

Ooooh- what did you think of 'Inferno'? :D It's such a grim story, but it's still one of my top favorite 3rd Doctor serials.

Threeeeeee. Because reasons. Largely, I suspect, involving James Bond, silly seventies british moustaches, and Brig/Liz.

I think that Two, Four, and Four are good Doctors in their own right :)

I watched Tomb of the Cybermen some years ago, so I don't remember it all, but I remember I liked it. It was my first Two serial and I loved his personality and also Jamie, their friendship is so good! I don't like Cybermen very much, but curiously I really enjoyed them in this one. It was gripping, and rhe added touch of everything being an archaeological exploration just made it even more interesting for me!

CLASSIC!WHO! ♥ Classics are awesome—and that's some excellent episodes right there! (Pssst—if you want free classics and don't mind watching online, Dailymotion is the best thing ever.)

I can never quite point at a favourite Doctor, but as I said—awesomeness. I have a particular fondness for Inferno though, and it has Liz ♥
