Day 13 – Favorite Classic Who Season – Doctor Who 30 Day Challenge

Sarah Jan, 4, and Harry - Genesis of the Daleks - Doctor Who

I’ll give a different answer than my answer to what my favorite story arc is because both of those were from the Classic era and both lasted the whole season.

And this one is fairly easy, especially since this season was recently released for the first time on Blu Ray earlier this year.  That would be season 12, Tom Baker’s first season as the Doctor.

I hope to one day write a review for this recent boxset, because…really… all the extras…it is Sarah, Harry, and the 4th Doctor - Ark in Space - Doctor Whoamazing!  Maybe that had an impact of this being my favorite season?  Maybe I might change my mind in a year or three.  But this is a really good one!

Anyway, this season’s stories are:

  • Robot (4 parts)
  • The Ark in Space (4 parts)
  • The Sontaran Experiment (2 parts)
  • Genesis of the Daleks (6 parts)
  • Revenge of the Cybermen (4 parts)

It has three of the great enemies of the Doctor. And in Robot, the only alien in it is the Doctor (I always find those type of stories interesting). Genesis of the Daleks is reason enough alone to say this is the best season, but all the other stories are great too!
