Best Doctor Who episodes ever? Off the top of my head I'd have
to go with "City of Death"... of course, when I say ever I don't
mean post-2005.

For a show made on a limited budget, the 1970's excel for how
the producers of Doctor Who managed to cope and still churn out
exciting television with enjoyable stories. The 1980's are a
good example of how they didn't cope with the limited budget and
churned out less enjoyable stories.... but that's another
discussion.

Inferno, like a lot of Jon Pertwee's era of the show is a very
strong story, but there's nothing to match Tom Baker at his very
best... and "City of Death" is pretty much as good as the show
got back then.

I’ve never heard of Inferno Ports. Did you mean FireWire? USB won that war
long ago - about a decade after NetKnow’s network connection advice was
relevant, true, but we’re still talking 15 years ago.

And this has nothing to do with Doctor Who.

Hmm. For me - I liked City of Death but it has one major downside, and her
name is Lalla Ward.

Mary Tamm was the BEST Romana. (So hot.)

The best Tom Baker - Douglas Adams Who was, for me, The Ribos Operation.
Comic heist / con gone wrong, Iain Cuthbertson, Prentis Hancock, Tom on top
form … AND Romana I?

5 gold stars and a laurel and hearty handshake.

I didn't like her Romana that much either, but I did like her in
"City of Death". The Doctor and Romana II looked like they were
having fun in Paris (They probably were!!!) so it worked okay
for me.

> Mary Tamm was the BEST Romana. (So hot.)

Definitely a better looking woman than Lalla Ward, and a better
Romana overall. It is a pity that Mary Tamm only did the one
season.

It was good to hear Mary return for some Big Finish Doctor Who
audio stories with Tom before she got sick. ("The Auntie Matter"
being my favourite of her Fourth Doctor stories.)

A great start to S16, "The Ribos Operation" is definitely up
there with the best of Tom's era.

It might have been, but when a story gets mythical status
because it is not finished (or missing) it becomes hard for that
story to live up to the hype. After "Tomb of the Cybermen" was
found and returned to the BBC, upon viewing I didn't think it
matched all the hype the story had when it was missing! It was
good, but flawed... and not the ultimate classic Doctor Who
story!

If completed (in 1979) Shada could have turned out to have been
a very average story as part of S17, more "Horns of Nimon" than
"City of Death"... or it could have been the best Doctor Who
story ever! <shrugs>

It too liked the Ribos Operation, but S16 was a 26 part adventure!

The best episode *ever* will be the one where all the Political
Correctness idiocy gets negated in an instant ... maybe David Tennant's
Doctor will wake up in the shower and the last few seasons from the
Mistress nonsense onwards will all have been just a bad dream. :-p

Why start at David Tennant? What's wrong with going back a bit
further, like 1989... and it's Tom Baker stepping out of the
shower... using his scarf as a towel... he walks from the
bathroom drying himself to see his pet dog looking up at him...

Oh hello K9, I just had this awful dream...
