1. City of Death 2. Genesis of the Daleks
A near perfect production
A classic in its own right, this story introduced one of the most known villains in the series, Davros. It is also the most thought provoking of the classic series.
You get to see the creation of the Daleks that by itself would be enough.
Story about the creation of the Daleks and Davros is a chilling creation.
This one has to be the best
This story is thrilling and nail-biting, for a black and white story it is far more believable and exciting than modern day counterparts.
Most underrated story in the shows history. "Doctor Who's first nightmare" as Douglas Camfeild put it. The one and only story of Classic Who were I was genuinely unsettled.
Thrilling and probably the scariest story in the shows history.
Great story, great characters and great cliffhangers
Great concept, exciting, amazing execution, and a unique unelsettling time make this easily the best third doctor story
This regeneration story is quite different from the others, and in a good way too.
It’s a lose/lose situation, The Doctor and Peri just land in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Best final story of an outing doctor, great story, great villain, great performances.
Best story. The writing,cliffhangers, execution, and villain, all perfect.
Brilliant the doctor fighting off his regeneration until he can save Peri and 3 excellent cliff hangers at the ends of parts 1,3 and 4 yes 4 and part 3 cliffhanger one of the very best
It's a perfect example of Doctor Who.
