What's your favourite from Sylvester's first season?

... I haven't voted as it is too hard to work out which one is far enough from the bottom to be declared 'favourite'. I'm thinking...

Ah, come now! Delta and the Bannermen is clearly the jewel of the crop. It's a semi-decent story, whereas the others... aren't.

Very Happy

They are all bad, but Dragonfire is the least worst....

God this is hard. I HATED this season.

I ended up voting for Pardise Towers for two reasons:

1. no one else had, and it looked forlorn and neglected; and

2. despite it's probelms, it at least tried to make some kind of sense withing the strange setting. The problems have a degree of internal consistency that, say, the Rani's plan, or Muldwych and his bees, or the literal cliifhanger just don't!

However, to me, choosing a favourite in this season is like trying to decide which large piece of wood you want to be beaten around the head with.

Delta and the Bannermen for no particular reason. I just have one thing to say. That cliffhanger from Dragonfire has to be one of Who's most cringeworthy moments.

The choice for me was narrowed down to Paradise Towers & Dragonfire.

I decided narrowly to go for Dragonfire. Funny given the choices I came down to that Nicholas Mallett (Paradise Towers) and Ian Briggs (Dragonfire) would go on to direct and write respectively the fantastic Curse of Fenric.
