  1. This will be a good one for fans who had high regards as I did for Doctor Who stories had much more seriousness, as classic Season 7 did and most especially with The Silurians.

    • Especially the first multiverse story in Doctor Who which was Inferno. Nicholas Courtney’s acting as his darker self in a parallel universe was excellent. And the original Doctor/Master chemistry between Jon Pertwee and Roger Delgado will always be the best.

      • Inferno was a brilliant story, and still one of my all time favourites. The whole parallel universe concept was do well done. Season 7 was a real gem of creativity and change for Dr Who, the industrial look of the shows settings were also visually dramatic.

      • BBV’s AUTON trilogy was pretty impressive at the time. So was an Auton spinoff story in one of my Doctor Who comics when I was a kid. The modern series may be mixed when it comes to the best ways to reintroduced familiar monsters. Even the Daleks and the Cybermen. So I always appreciate how their original impacts can get refreshed recognition in all of these new DVD and Blu-Ray editions for the classic series.
