Someone posted these on GB, not sure if the mag is out yet. I think this is
the first time they`ve done one of these "all time favourite fan poll"
things for a good 10 years or so and not surprisingly the new series makes
an impact on the top 10.

I`ve never seen Caves take frst spot before...
I always seems to be in he top 5....

apparently the second greatest
Dr Who story of all time barely features the Doctor...
I watched this in 5.1 a couple of days ago and it really is excellent
IMHO.

is BW / PotW really a top 10 story?...
It is not even top 10 for the new series, let alone the entire canon.


must be the first time neither of Troughton`s dalek stories
have made top 10...
As time goes by less and less people will have seen it and therefore
be able to vote on them - unlike bad stories (see below) it is
difficult to appriciate the good stories on audio due to the look
often being central to it's quality.

With the steady supply of new stories I know I certainly watch the
original series less and less - I haven't watched an original series
story in at least a year with the exception of a couple of the latest
classic series DVD releases whereas I as still watch the new series
regulary.


RTD and Tom Baker fair dominate other than Caves...is
Twin Dilemma *that* bad?...
I have only watched it the once many years ago but I didn't think it
was that bad, certainly Paradise Towers, The Space Pirates, The
Mutants and a fair few more are a lot worse...

no Delta at the bottom...nor Web Planet, has the
DVD release changed people`s minds ( it hasn`t mine! )...
For me Paradise Towers will always be bottom simply because just about
every aspect of the production fails badly.



just looking back at a DWB poll from 1993 this wa the top 20:

01 Evil
02 Web
03 Pyramids of Mars
04 Talons of Weng Chaing
05 Genesis of the Daleks
06 Caves of Androzani
07 Robots of Death
08 Deadly Assassin
09 Power of the Daleks
10 Seeds of Doom
11 Tomb of the Cybermen
12 Fury from the Deep
13 The Abominable Snowman
14 City of Death
15 The Silurians
16 Earthshock
17 Inferno
18 Dalek Masterplan
19 Ark in Space
20 Tenth Planet

filled with the generic "fan favorites" with a few surprises,
Robots being so high, Silurians beating Inferno otherwise entirely
predictable.


The bottom 10:

149 The Horns of Nimon
150 Timeflight
151 The Happiness Patrol
152 Underworld
153 Silver Nemesis
154 Timelash
155 The Twin Dilemma
156 Delta and the Bannermen
157 Paradise Towers
158 Time and the Rani


many of the same shows - the only difference being some of the very
rarely seen Troughton stories given more prominance due to repeats,
recons, audio soundtrack releases showing how poor they are., a bad
accent is a bad accent on audio or TV.
