@docoho Then he could well have been thought of as one of the all time great Doctors. The Sixth Doctor is my favourite in Big Finish with The Pirates and The One Doctor being my all time faves! A brief tenure but very memorable!

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho I really enjoy Colin Baker as the Doctor. Spiky,Brash,self confident but with a heart of gold. Always entertaining and watchable. Let down by a couple of dodgy sctipts in 22. In 23 he is superb. Helped by a wonderful chemistry with Peri. Had Colin been given a final season...

28 April is Terry Pratchett Day, marking the birthday of Sir Terry Pratchett and the extraordinary worlds, characters and ideas he gifted to us. To mark the occasion we have an 8-book set of the City Watch series to give away. Retweet this to enter. We'll pick a winner on 5 May.

@docoho ...else brings us the debut of the Cybermen. Their design and voice is brilliant. Shame that Hartnell was ill and missed the whole of Part 3. Steven, Polly and Ben memorable companions. Less said about Dodo the better.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho Another strong run of stories that bring the Hartnell era to an end. The Gunfighters is sublime, Toymaker bonkers, Savages underrated, War Machines magnificent. Hartnell giving one of his best performances. Smugglers rollicking good historical and Tenth Planet if nothing.....

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @nathanbottomley @TobyHadoke @iomamo ...excellent and the perfect foil for Tom. For me the season spanning story arc was done a lot better with Trial of a TmeLord.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @nathanbottomley @TobyHadoke @iomamo The Key to Time has some truly brilliant stories...Ribos, Pirate and Tara. Stones of Blood is ok. Excellent first 2 parts but then the story goes downhill rapidly. Then I'm afraid Kroll and Armaggedon Factor are dreadful and should be chucked in the deepest bin!! Mary Tamm is...

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @Lost_Gallifrey @TobyHadoke @Xris32 ...for him to appear. Katy Manning makes a good debut but her best was yet to come. Pertwee has never been my fave doctor and I thought his performances were mixed this season. Not a favourite of mine

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @Lost_Gallifrey @TobyHadoke @Xris32 Season Eight is for me not only the weakest Pertwee season but a candidate for weakest season of all Who. Whilst Roger Delgado was magnificent having the Master as the villain in every story was the wrong choice. It made the stories predictable and the viewer waiting...

@docoho Hamster is my go to podcast on my journey to work. Always entertaining and exceptionally funny. Strictly Come Hamster is a must listen and as a massive fan of wilderness Who the Hamster Book Club is essential listening for me. Here is to the next 1000 episodes!

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @FelixFrazer @Dylandoeswho @JamesLark @iomamo Greatest Show - I love this one! Once again the guest cast are magnificent. In particular Ian Reddington as the chief clown. Love the Doctor in this. The location is inspired. Mark Ayres music is my favourite in the whole of Who. The cliffhanger of Part 3 is very effective!

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @FelixFrazer @Dylandoeswho @JamesLark @iomamo Silver Nemesis - Another strong story. The cybermen look great. Location is again superb. However the plot is a bit too similar to Remembrance

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @FelixFrazer @Dylandoeswho @JamesLark @iomamo Happiness Patrol - I love this one. Again the guest cast are on top form. Special mention though to Sheila Hancock who puts in an incredible performance. The Kandyman gave 10 year old me nightmares. Happiness will prevail.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @FelixFrazer @Dylandoeswho @JamesLark @iomamo Remembrance - One of the greats. This is something truly special. The whole cast are sublime. The direction, location filming and the music are 2nd to none. So many memorable scenes. Part One and Part Two cliffhangers among the series very best.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @FelixFrazer @Dylandoeswho @JamesLark @iomamo Season 25 is one of my all time favourites. Andrew Cartmel really makes his mark here. The season oozes confidence in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred are magnificent throughout.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@TheMestor 1. The Romans
2. The War Machines
3. The Time Meddler
4. The Myth Makers
5. The Massacre

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @thepolisbox @Dylandoeswho @FelixFrazer The Vanquishers - A disappointing season finale which seems to be an issue with the Jodie Whittaker era. I guess there is a resolution and an ending. All the regulars are on good form. Just feels like such a letdown!

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @thepolisbox @Dylandoeswho @FelixFrazer Survivors of the Flux - Just like with Caves to Twin Dilemma it's staggering that an episode as poor as this is put on the screen. Everything about this episode I find utterly awful!

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @thepolisbox @Dylandoeswho @FelixFrazer Village of Angels - My favourite of the season and my favourite Jodie episode. One of the best nu-who stories. A triumph from start to finish.

[Paul Smy @1978smyster]

@docoho @thepolisbox @Dylandoeswho @FelixFrazer Once Upon Time - This is where Flux starts to fall apart. A confusing mess of a story. Such a shame. Highlight though is the magnificent cliffhanger!
