Not one of my favourite seasons, due to the unrelenting presence of the Master. Not to mention the Master. Who's our surpise villain? Not... the Master!

So I picked Terror of the Autons, from when he was new and - perhaps more importantly - I still get a little chill when I see daffodils.

Strange as it may seem, I feel that Colony in Space is the most atmospheric story of the season. Very creepy.

But how was the hair in this one hey?? Smile

I went for The Mind of Evil, but coming close second was The Claws of Axos - for the sheer mastery of the dialogue: "Furge-thangering muck-witchellers rock-throbblin' this time o' day. Ur bin oughta gone put thickery blarmdasted zones about, gordangun, diddenum? Havver froggin' law onnum, shouldnum? Eh? Eh? Arn I?"

Genius.

The Daemons. Quite eerie. Another one that chilled me a bit when I was a kid. Plus I thought the chracters were well developed.

As far as watching the actual episodes, I had to go with Terror of the Autons as well. I read The Daemons before I ever saw it and loved it, but the episodes didn't match up to my imagination when I finally saw it.

The Daemons is all around brilliant, one of the best Doctor Who episodes ever.
I loved The Master (can you tell), though it was a shame he was in every episode for about 8 straight.

Well I had to go for Terror of the Autons because it introduces Jo Grant and the Master.

This was a tougher choice than I imagined. In the end I went for The Mind of Evil, but The Daemons had some good moments, too. ("watch out, Doctor... it's the Attack of the Morris Dancers!") Laughing
