The 1996 TV movie may not technically be classic Doctor Who, but it bridges the gap between the original series and the 2005 relaunch.
In addition, it’s worth watching for the infamous “cliffhanger” at the end of part one, and the equally infamous scene of the melting face… Remembrance of the Daleks (4 episodes) This classic Doctor Who story also laid the groundwork for a longer plot arc involving her character, which wouldn’t be resolved until ‘The Curse of Fenric’ two years later. ‘Dragonfire’ introduced the character of Ace, who would later return for the BBC’s centenary special alongside Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. Moreover, it was the last to be broadcast before the show was put on an 18 month hiatus by the BBC. It was also (perhaps) one of the most violent and adult stories of the classic Doctor Who era (on a par with ‘Varos,’ at least) and saw the return of popular director Graeme Harper. This classic Doctor Who story introduced the concept of warring Dalek factions between those that were loyal to Davros and those that were loyal to the Dalek emperor. The pair did however get the spin-off they deserved when the audio company Big Finish picked up the mantle many years later. Alas, this was never to be – not on TV, at least. Interestingly, it was nearly the first to spawn a fully-fledged Doctor Who spin-off, with the characters Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot proving particularly popular with viewers. This is another highly-regarded classic Doctor Who story, set in the swirling fog of Victorian London. The big question, though, is does the Doctor have the right? (It’ll make sense when you see it…) The Talons of Weng-Chiang (6 episodes) This story is also the first to feature the demented Davros, the Daleks’ creator, so memorably portrayed by the late Michael Wisher.
Certainly, it is a memorable adventure, and one that explains the origins of the Doctor’s deadliest enemy on the planet Skaro. ‘Genesis of the Daleks’ has frequently found its way to the top of “best ever Doctor Who stories” polls. This was also the final (continuing) story to feature Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, who dies in the closing moments of part 10.
‘The War Games’ is one of the longest Doctor Who stories ever made and introduces us to the Doctor’s home planet Gallifrey, as well as filling in some crucial details about his backstory. In this adventure, the three friends journey to the planet Telos where an entire tomb of the Doctor’s deadliest enemies lies dormant – but for how long? Interestingly, this story was believed lost for many years before being miraculously discovered in its entirety in Hong Kong in 1992. This is a much-loved classic Doctor Who story starring the Second Doctor along with his companions Jamie and Victoria. This is an important classic Doctor Who story for many reasons – first, it features the first ever appearance of the Cybermen, and second, it is the first to feature the concept of regeneration, with the actor William Hartnell passing the baton to Patrick Troughton in the closing moments of part four. The final part of ‘The Tenth Planet’ is currently missing from the archives, but it has been lovingly recreated using the original soundtrack.
