What's your favourite story from the silver anniversary season?

It has to be Remembrance of the Daleks - each of the other stories fundamentally lacks something, and quite often it is common sense. Having said that Remembrance was one of the best stories in years when it was released...

Yah, Remembrance of the Daleks. Silver Nemesis is quite good, in my opinion, but it did miss the mark somewhat. The other two stories... well, The Crappiness Patrol isn't such a misnomer, and one has to question the presence of the word "Greatest" in the title of the other.

Rememberance by a long shot. Althought not perfect it had a some good action and some nice nostaglia. Good exterminating effects.

Remebrance for me, because it was better than the others.

For me, this came down to either Remembrance or Greatest Show. I like both stories a lot, but I eventually gave it to Remembrance of the Daleks. The cafe scene kicks posterior, no matter what anyone says.

It was a choice between Greatest Show and Remembrance for me.

Greatest Show wins. It had the most atmosphere, and for that I can overlook the somewhat confusing ending.

Chief Clown was a great sinister villain.

Remembrance of the Daleks. I especially love the music.

As for the others not quite sure about The Happiness Patrol, enjoyed Silver Nemesis more than I thought I would, while The Greatest Show In The Galaxy takes a certain time to adjust to.

Remembrance for me, but Greatest Show was also excellent and Happiness Patrol not bad.

Silver Nemesis just seems to lack something to make it really enjoyable and Davros has been done to death (plus Ive always hated him anyway). So I had to choose the Greatest because its intersting and original.

Remembrance of the Daleks far outshines anything else in this particular season. In fact, it would outshine many stories in practically every season of Doctor Who so far broadcast...
