On Ebay I found a version sold at a 2012 convention with a limited edition slipcase (Mine's 845/1000).Cost me £30.00 but It's nice to have something collectable & it's a great Who story.Along with Image Of The Fendahl it's one of my favourites.

One of my top three stories i think.

Well, the 3rd episode of ATTW was a bit rushed to my mind, Survival Of The Fittest (a 4 parter, apologies) should be interesting. Been rewatching ....The Silurians AGAIN, as have sucked Colony In Space dry haha.
Was in Aberdeen yesterday, and the shop-with-the-dog had a lack of Real Who, and at say £28() for Meglos, i can't see them shifting more......

They deserve to go bust with prices like that. Absolutely ridiculous!

If one was to put together a top 20 of Doctor Who serials what would be on your lists? Be interesting to know what people consider there personal favorites.

It may seem heretical to say but out of all the doctors Hartnell has yet to capture my interest though my exposure to his stories are extremely limited to be quite honest .

I must admit that I am more of a fan of Classic Who rather than Nu-Who, but I have included at least one story from each of the actors who have played the role on television (except Paul McGann, because I thought the television movie was a travesty). I have also purposely ignored stories that are always mentioned as the 'best of Who', such as 'The Deadly Assassin', 'Genesis of the Daleks' and 'The Caves of Androzani'

So, in order of transmission...

William Hartnell
An Unearthly Child
The Chase
Patrick Troughton
The Mind Robber
The War Games
Jon Pertwee
Spearhead From Space

Tom Baker
The Ark In Space

Peter Davison
Kinda
Colin Baker
Vengeance on Varos
The Two Doctors
Sylvester McCoy

Forgot to answer my own question.

2nd Doctor
Tomb of Cybermen
(there was another story in which Troughton played a dual role but cannot remember the name of it.

3rd Doctor
The Daemons
Sea Devils
Inferno
Doctor Who and the Siluarians
Terror of the Autons
Time Warrior
The Three Doctors

4th Doctor
Genesis of the Daleks
Talons of Weng Chiang
Brain of Morbius
Pyramids of Mars
Keeper of Traken
Revenge of the Cybermen
Horror on Fang Rock


5th Doctor
Kinda
Earthshock
Caves of Androzani
Arc of Infinity


6th Doctor
Attack of the Cybermen
Terror of the Vervoids
Mark of the Rani
The Two Doctors
Vengance on Varos

7th Doctor
Curse of Fenric
Survival
Battlefield
Remembrance of the Daleks

I'll stick with just the faves from the classic Who for now. Obviously I haven't seen much in awhile so I'm going on memory the list will probably change as I rewatch episodes and discover new favorites. Keeper of Traken wasn't there before but rewatching it I really really enjoyed the story and the writer actually did something with the Adric character.

'The Enemy of the World' from 1967/8. Troughton plays both The Doctor and also Salamander. Sadly, 5 of the 6 episodes are now lost, but the remaining part (episode 3) can be found on the 'Lost in Time' set

There are other stories with the actor playing the Doctor appearing as a different character:

'The Masacre' (AKA 'The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve') from 1966 has William Hartnell also playing the Abbot of Amboise. Sadly, this is another missing story

'Meglos' from 1980 features Tom Baker playing both The Doctor, and also Meglos in humanoid form

In 'Arc of Infinity' from 1983, Peter Davison appears as Omega in humanoid form

I saw it on a VHS of Troughto episodes and was blown away at how different both characters were.

Arc Of Infinity is an episode I actually liked a lot. I loved the character of Omega.

One of the reasons I cannot completely enjoy the new Who as much as the original is because I think the whole "Last Timelord" thing was a HUGE mistake.
I loved stories that took place on Gallifrey or involved the Time Lords. Two of the best Who stories(Genesis of the daleks and Deadly Assassin showed how to properly use the time lords)

I've only seen a couple of Hartnells so I couldn't put any on the list. (I know a lot like it but the Aztecs made me want to stop watching right then and there)
