Hey, I appreciate that, alpha128, as I still haven’t seen a single classic Who episode and very much mean to do so. I never got into the modern show, but I’m hoping I’ll enjoy the original ones more…

Hopefully you'll find some classic serials you enjoy.

TAlons of Weng Chiang is one of my favourites, I would definitely recommend it. but Terror of the Zygons, which he only considers 'normal' (a rather odd description for Dr Who I think) is another one I would recommend. and Seeds of Doom.
Don't agree with him about The Invisible Enemy, which I love. also The Visitation is another one I like very much, despite him only considering it 'normal', likewise Claws of Axos and Abomnable Snowmen. ANd how can Abominable Snowmen be a 'prequel' to Web Of Fear, when it was made first?

GENESIS OF THE DALEKS THE TALONS OF WENG-CHIANG IMAGE OF THE FENDAHL
THE VISITATION EARTHSHOCK THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI
ATTACK OF THE CYBERMEN THE MARK OF THE RANI THE TWO DOCTORS
REMEMBRANCE OF THE DALEKS BATTLEFIELD THE CURSE OF FENRIC
