Doctor Who Database

@acequeenkingpin I personally loved Demons of the Punjab, but fair

@DWUDatabase Both good episodes but poor demons of the punjab is the coughing baby versus a hydrogen bomb of an episode in this lineup

@BruvverEccles After 2 rounds of voting every story has been given an Elo score. In the top ten, 5 are Classic Series and 5 are New Series.

@DWUDatabase Let's face it. Every old-series Who is better than every new-series Who, with maybe 2 exceptions.

@Adam_A_Nerd Benton impersonates a councillor and gets to go ballroom dancing...

@DWUDatabase Humm, do I have that one? I don't know ...

@Adam_A_Nerd I actually re-listened to Council of War the other day and that is probably his best story

@DWUDatabase Shut up! You know nothing! #TeamBenton

@DWUDatabase Do dalek attack!

Couldn't help jumping on the DLSS 5 bandwagon #DoctorWho

@gregrcox I really like Demons but I agree it would be much better as a pure historical

@DWUDatabase The Daleks which of course is where it all really took off. Demons is okay in the context of a mediocre season but it could have been better if it had been a purely historical

@Adam_A_Nerd @gregrcox I would go as far as to suggest the Cybermen plots were completely insane in the 60s...

@gregrcox @DWUDatabase Yes and yes, but the Cybermen plots for '60s stories were very thin ... or bad. However the stories are great.

@Tomiouss We are playing highest ranked Elo against lowest so in a few weeks we should have stories which are fairly comparable.

@DWUDatabase You need to come up with harder choices

@somethingenigma That repeat was the first full Doctor Who story I ever saw

@DWUDatabase The Sea Devils is top tier Pertwee. And its a huge story for me personally, I remember seeing it on repeat in the early 90s just as dad retired from the RN.

@DaveJaVu2001 I actually hadn't noticed the contrast until you pointed it out!

@DWUDatabase This poll is blowing hot & cold with the options. I'm surprised no-one has noticed the contrast yet. Anyhow, a there's a core upsurge from Nu Who fans, Inferno looks certain to erupt as the clear winner.

@Adam_A_Nerd Just think how good it would be without Sergeant Benton

@DWUDatabase Inferno! Season Seven! Sergeant Benton! The Ood give me the creeps.

@DougGray777 Yeah, surprisingly the only 6th Doctor story to be knocked out was actually Real Time

@DWUDatabase I am surprised that the, ‘Twin Dilemma’ is still here. I felt sorry for Colin Baker who had this as his first story and then he had to wait for the next series to get anything better.

@JohnG09076469 Me either. I don't think Twin is great but I don't think it is as bad as some people make out

@DWUDatabase An interesting match-up, given neither of these Doctors is very likeable on their debut! In any case, for me an easy win for AUC, even though I don't think Twin Dilemma is as bad as it is often painted.

I think Twin Dilemma would probably have a better reputation if it has been a season opener rather than a season finale. Giving that version of the 6th Doctor then going off air for months seems an odd choice. If they have continued on the next week might have gone down better at the time

@DWUDatabase @Heraldofcreatio An Unearthly Child had a great first episode, and okish 3 more episodes. Despite complaints, The Twin Dilemma is a great story, and one of the riskiest things they did with the Doctor going insane due to the trauma of the regeneration and struggling to find his way.

@Tales_TimeLord It is fine until the very end. All I can think of watching it is if Rose can look into the vortex and gain the power to destroy all of the Daleks including the Emperor then why did none of the Time Lords ever think to do that. Could have been a very short Time War...

@DWUDatabase Interesting. Not heard anyone who didn't like POTW, but everyone is different Sea Devils is indeed excellent though
