Survival, because it's great - the Doctor wandering round suburbs and council estates, fighting evil in corner shops and municipal parks. The new series, just 15 years early. Inferno - I was going to plump for The Robots of Death, but on reflection, Inferno's one of those stories I could watch from start to finish any time. Bubbling under: The Time Warrior, The Robots of Death, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The War Games, City of Death, The Empty Child, Army of Ghosts. Go on then -

Sorry, I can never explain *why* I like things, I just do. Caves is just a rollicking good story, Robots too though I also like the lesbian undercurrent between Toos and Leela and Empty/Dances is the first thing on telly since Ghostwatch that has actually spooked me.
