My favorites have to be divided between the original series and the revival. The two series were quite different in what they were trying to do.

Original series: “City of Death,” “The Talons of Weng-Chiang,” “Paradise Towers,” “The Pirate Planet,” and “Mawdryn Undead.”

Revival: “Blink,” “Silence in the Library/Garden of the Dead,” “Dalek,” “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances,” “Turn Left,” and “Love and Monsters.”

You get a pass on “Love and Monsters,” **RealityChuck** , but only _only!!_ because of ELO. And if you try to argue otherwise I’ll stick my fingers in my ears and yell “Can’tHearYouLaLaLa!”
