Yep, plenty of stand out story's but daemons is the best of the bunch.

I would say Inferno is generally considered the best Pertwee these days, though I also favour Spearhead from Space and Day of the Daleks.

Here is something I have never seen before - it's a poster for American release of the first Dalek film

Note how the Dalek seems to be shooting from it's sucker arm as well as its gun

It takes the Dalek from the main poster and adds a new background. Good find, Susan, i've never seen it before.

I hope it's real and not a fan designed piece.

The Smugglers (1966)

Not many stills exist from this story online, but this one differs slightly from one of the more well known photos.

Having now finished Genesis of the Daleks i'm sad to say I'm not a fan of what many think is one of the best Who stories. There were some highlights but overall I found it a bit of a chore to get through, unlike Earthshock which I enjoyed 100%.
I can't really put my finger on what I didn't like, I liked Harry and I liked Sarah Jane, I wasn't a huge fan of Tom Baker (yes, I know...)
The story was definitely too long, nothing happened in the middle episodes while all of the big questions and decisions where left until the final episode!

I don't feel like I should give up though, perhaps the Tom Baker period isn't for me. I'm even considering checking out David Tennant, I'm not a fan of his acting in general but maybe he's a good fit as The Doctor? He seems to have a lot of fans.

Stick with Davison stories perhaps.

Try The Visitation, Kinda, Frontios or Resurrection of the Daleks.

Tennant was a great Doctor and as you suggest the most popular of the revived series. You'd need to buy it in seasons though, although they did release them at three episodes at a time in those days and i expect they can be picked up for the price of postage.

If you've any questions feel free to ask and we'll be as helpful as possible.

It's almost impossible to believe that this was once put out as a double feature in America
