    Interesting that in a time when fans are regularly saying that six part stories are too long and drag in the middle (an opinion I don't persnally share) each era's poll so far has been won by stories of twelve and ten episodes.

    • @Yetaxa
      @Yetaxa 4 роки тому +2

      it's because somehow, while most 6 parters are too long and do drag, the ones that are longer use that length in a justified way, even having multiple distinct segments (like with DMP's planet and time hopping)
      The best 6 parters are the ones that pace themselves sensibly (not jumping right into the main action in episode 1) like Fury or Power, with their slow build up and having the characters slowly realise the danger, or the ones that are in two different parts, like with the Seeds of Doom and its two opening episodes basically being a separate mini story

    • @Trev359
      @Trev359 4 роки тому

      I see your point but I still don't think six parters drag. I prefer them but, of course, I respect your opinion. However, for me, nothing is more slow placed and drags as much as Masterplan.That could have been done in half the number of episodes. It's little more than a rehash of the Chase.

    - Troughton Years (1966-1969) Ranked -
    - 1 -
    The War Games (Story No. 50)
    Difference: (=)
    Does this need explaining? The best story is Doctor Who's entire history. Yep I said it. This story is so epic, and carries so much weight. It's the end to an entire era of the show, it's the magnum opus of Troughtons era and showcases some of the best acting seen on the show. The villains are great and despite it's enormous ten part runtime, still keeps me on my toes.
    - 2 -
    The Power of the Daleks (Story No. 30)
    Difference: (+2)
    In my opinion, the best Dalek story ever. This story makes the Daleks more threatening and evil than they had ever been before. Troughton does an impeccable job of picking up the role of the Doctor. If it weren't for him, the show never would have lasted as long as it has. The story is tense and features great acting and has cool sets.
    - 3 -
    The Evil of the Daleks (Story No. 36)
    Difference: (+3)
    One of the best Dalek stories ever. Kind of disappointing that this one didn't at least crack the top five. This story introduces Victoria, a great future companion, this story also happens to be the "last Dalek story". It does do well that I could be happy to never see the Daleks again after this one.
    - 4 -
    Fury from the Deep (Story No. 42)
    Difference: (+5)
    This story is great! Perhaps not enough people have seen this story to warrant it being in the top five like I have it. Another base-under-seige story that has brilliant acting, and solid villains. This story also introduces the sonic screwdriver and has one of the saddest companion departures of the 60s era.
    - 5 -
    The Invasion (Story No. 46)
    Difference: (=)
    One of the best Cybermen stories of all time. The eight part epic does an astounding job of making the villains true threats. UNIT plays a big role in this one like they did in 'Web', but introduces more long time players to the series. Great acting and action, and despite it's long runtime, NEVER drags it's feet.
    - 6 -
    The Enemy of the World (Story No. 40)
    Difference: (+1)
    This story is awesome, it illustrates the incredible acting by Troughton, and has a non-alien threat, cool sets and designs and great supporting cast. This story is still underrated, and in my opinion much better than the heavily anticipated 'Web of Fear'.
    - 7 -
    The Moonbase (Story No. 33)
    Difference: (+3)
    I clearly like this story better than 'Tomb'. This story just has so much to offer, the cybermen return in a look that looks great! The atmosphere is so tense in this one, and has an all-time great scene in the second part's cliffhanger. Although not entirely scientifically accurate, it's decent enough in it's plot and never feels boring.
    - 8 -
    The Web of Fear (Story No. 41)
    Difference: (-3)
    This story is so tense and has brilliant acting and amazing sets. The Yeti are so ominous and creepy in this one and the main cast are great. Not many gripes with this story at all. Also has the introduction to one of Doctor Who's best characters, the Brigadier.
    - 9 -
    The Faceless Ones (Story No. 35)
    Difference: (+5)
    This one is way lower than I thought it would be, maybe because it's mostly missing? The villains in this one are great, the atmosphere is brilliant and the casting is done so well aswell. My only problem with this story is the departure on Ben and Polly, I wish they had more to do in their final adventure with the Doctor.
    - 10 -
    The Tomb of the Cybermen (Story No. 37)
    Difference: (-8)
    This story is overrated. Yes, it has great acting and the cybermen are very creepy and ominous. But even for a four parter I found it a little bit boring. The Doctor's monologue is great, but I could barely understand what the Cybermen where saying half the time.
    - 11 -
    The Macra Terror (Story No. 34)
    Difference: (=)
    This story is such a good one. It has a solid plot and a great ensemble of supporting characters. The Macra also are great in all their crabby glory! My only gripe is the horrific soundtrack.
    - 12 -
    The Ice Warriors (Story No. 39)
    Difference: (+3)
    I think despite this story's obvious crap science, it's a good story that introduces awesome old school villains, and sets up a nice tense atmosphere and cool action-packed plot. The costumes don't look horrible, and main cast gel well in this one.
    - 13 -
    The Krotons (Story No. 47)

    I'm very surprised to see this one so low on the list. I actually quite enjoy this story, and think it is very underrated. It's decent enough in execution, a short but sweet story that doesn't rely to heavily on special effects, the main cast isn't too bad either.

    The Seeds of Death (Story No. 48)
    Difference: (-1)
    Nice story with a nice plot, and cool return of the Ice Warriors! They are much better in this story than their first, but utimately this story starts to drag it's feet a bit towards the end. The main cast are good in this one, and the sets are decent too.

    The Wheel in Space (Story No. 43)
    Difference: (+1)
    Definitely not surprised to see this one low on the totem pole. I think it's actually quite a good story with interesting plot, and a stellar introduction to one of my favorite companions. But I can see where some problems come in, the cybermen feel a bit tacky in this one, and the pacing is quite slow.

    The Mind Robber (Story No. 45)
    Difference: (-8)
    Hugely unpopular opinion on this one! I think the first part of this story is great, but the remaining four parts are just boring. The villain is stupid and the decisions of the characters make little to no sense. I understand this story is more fantasy than scifi, but it's still pretty crap nonetheless.

    The Underwater Menace (Story No. 32)

    The Highlanders (Story No. 31)
    Difference: (-2)
    Honestly, the only reason to watch this story is to see Jamie join the TARDIS fold. Surprisingly Jamie wasn't even one of the main cast in this story, but it's a good if not boring episode, and the last pure-historical for a long time.

    The Space Pirates (Story No. 49)
    Difference: (+1)
    Yeah, not surprised to see that the majority of voters would put this story at the bottom of the list. It certainly doesn't help that this story is mostly missing, but even if it were still in the archives, I don't think I would redeem the quality of this story. I put it above 'The Dominators', only because I dislike that story so much.
    - 21 -
    The Dominators (Story No. 44)
    Difference: (-1)
    God this story sucks, crappy acting, the Quarks are kind of cute, but the story has absolutely no redeeming qualites, and is basically garbage. Not only the worst of the Troughton era, but arguably one of the worst Classic Who episodes of all time.

    I let out a very audible "No!" when I realised War Games was number one. I mean, it's a great story and all, but c'mon lads. If the Doctor and co got held captive and imprisoned by random factions any more times, you'd be able to make a whole season based off it.

    • @DoctorJohnSmith9
      @DoctorJohnSmith9 4 роки тому +5

      I think this is why TWG is so good and deserving of the top spot. It starts so simply, just the TARDIS crew and a few soldiers and a military base. But after, a slow-burning build-up starts, and just keeps going and going throughout the episodes, until the Doctor realizes he's finally in way over his head. He gives up his personal freedom to do whatever it takes to save the humans throughout the war zones. It took me several viewings to pick up on this, so I always suggest to others to do the same. I keep picking up little things here and there that show just how much pressure was building up, which ultimately led to the Doctor's actions towards the end. Just my two cents! :)

    Other commenters have said this, but I'm also surprised that certain stories are so low despite the Troughton era having so many amazing stories (case in point Fury from the Deep). In fact, Troughton's Doctor is my all-time favorite! I agree with the #1 story for this era because of the direction, the incidental music, and the introduction of the Time Lords. I can't wait to see the consensus on the Third Doctor's era! I'm loving this series!

  • @popstubes

    The one big disagreement I have is The Highlanders, for me it's so important as Jamie's first story, and I can only assume the biggest reason for it's low ranking is the fact that it's practically completely missing. It's the story I want to be found most of all along with Tenth Planet 4 and Power of The Daleks 1.
    EDIT: Two also canonically cross dresses, this is an iconic moment in itself.

    Not surprised or disappointed as it is an absolute dud. The top ten are such a hard call to make as I love the Troughton era. I might bump the Abominable Snowmen up a few notches though I agree that the Seeds of Death is a better serial than the Ice Warriors. Invasion? Evil of the Daleks? Tomb of the Cybermen? It's an incredibly difficult decision. The War Games is an epic but (no surprises if you've read my comments on previous videos) I still have to put Fury from the Deep at the top of my list. My actual memories of watching the serial are admittedly hazy but the surviving soundtrack is still incredibly compelling. I would love to see it again...
    Another great video Josh.

    The Invasion
    The Macra Terror
    Evil is honestly a complete mess and I'm not sure why it's popular. Until you get to Skaro it draaags and is very repetitive

      The point is opinion polls only reflect the opinions of the people who bothered to vote. I'm sure there are many fans who didn't even know this poll existed. If they had voted we wiould probably have had a different result. Also, if this was done in the Dr Who Magazine there would probably have been a different result.
