DUGGAN
You get to see the creation of the Daleks that by itself would be enough.
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.
This one has to be the best - 2storm
Best of them all
This story is thrilling and nail-biting, for a black and white story it is far more believable and exciting than modern day counterparts.
Thrilling and probably the scariest story in the shows history.
Great story, great characters and great cliffhangers
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.
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.
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
Best final story of an outing doctor, great story, great villain, great performances.

Each episode brings another adventure and has an exciting pace. The early Key To Time.
Has that classic ha-ha moment where the doctor figured it all out.
Brilliant story
One of the best cliffhangers of all time in part 1 very effective
And Colin Baker is superb I can't believe how underrated Colin is and Sil is brilliant in this the last best villain in the classic series and the story as well is just fantastic.
Another good story I wanna mention is revelation of the daleks brilliant my second favorite after genesis out of the daleks stories
All of Colins stories are great apart from the twin dilemma and timelash.
