Yeah there's so much stuff in Cornell's list that I still haven't seen, it makes me feel pretty unqualified to vote. I mean I think I've watched everything from number five onwards, and nearly all of four (although hadn't seen any of the Key to Time season until this week when I watched (and loved) The Ribos Operation). But before that there's probably more I haven't seen than I have, and that's without including the missing ones either.

having seen every single episode (to the extent that is still possible) needn't be a prerequisite for voting imo, though obviously it's up to you. I've already had one ballot from someone who specified that there are certain eras they are not familiar with
(having said that, the Key to Time season is probably my overall favourite season from the original run, it's maybe a bit front loaded but every story is great!)

You don't need to have seen more than twenty stories to vote, as long as you can put those into an order. (Unless you think 18 of them were shit, I guess.)

I've only seen 9 intact or mostly-intact Hartnells and 7 i-o-m-i Troughtons (there are only 7 wholly-intact Troughtons at all, out of 21 stories and 115 episodes!) - this didn't stop me from voting for ones I like.
Another thought on Delta's accidental revolutionary nature: being the first story shot entirely on OB video, it proved a test case for Greatest Show's remounting, and Survival's (also, obviously, accidental) pointing the way for the show's revival 15 years later.

a ballot can have up to 20 stories, but if anyone wants to do just a top 10 or top 5 or whatever that's fine as well. also, I meant to specify this in the first post, but any interested lurkers are more than welcome to vote if they's like to take part

this is pretty generous, I can barely remember a thing about Power of Kroll, and Armageddon Factor entertained me as a kid but it's awful.

Because I worked on the DVD re-releases of a lot of these, I thought I'd go through the list and see how many I remembered seeing at least some of (even if all I can remember is the title). It came to 107! But, no, I can't come up with a list because I can't remember much about any of them. Deadly Assassin*-Warrior's Gate-Logopolis-Castrovalva-Earthshock are the ones that stay with me from seeing them as a kid (* - certainly a repeat, wouldn't have seen it in '76).

probably not going to get any more ballots for this so I'm going to go ahead and do the results next week for anyone who's interested. if there is anyone else who wanted to submit a ballot, it's now or never!

Omg never saw this… Compiling a quick ballot now!

Voted! Thanks for the thread bump. Admittedly I haven't watched as many doctors 1-3 episodes as some of you will have, but hopefully the countdown will help to fill in some crucial gaps.

Oh, just sent one, hope that's not too late.
― JimD, Friday, 29 January 2016 17:09 (eight years ago) link
no, you're fine! I'll start the results thread on Monday, so anything received before then will be factored in
