Welcome aboard Jack.
Has anyone heard the sirens of time yet? Does anyone know when it will be
released in Australia?
Okay guys time to get the brain cells working a few questions loved to hear
peoples ideas. What is the best master story, the worst, the best
regrenration, and what is the best story to show someone who has never seen
Doctor who.
Personally I found the best master story to be hard to choose so I went with
the Actors, Roger - Terror of the Autons, Anthony - Survival closely
followed by The Keeper of Traken, Overall The deadly Assassin stands tall as
one of the best master stories, The worst would have to be The kings demons
and Timeflight (this one for the script not anthony himself he did the best
with what he had.)
The best regeneration is hard but it is Davidson Doctor into C.Bakers Doctor
verus the frist Doctor.
I find it hard to show people a doctor who story because everyone has
personally taste but the ones I have found that worked with my family were
The frist episode, Gensis of the daleks, City of Death and The curse of
Fenric.
Well would love to hear thoughts.
Catchyas later Tony

Doctor who.
Well, like you say, everybody has their own tastes, but personally I
would think that 'The Awakening" staring Peter Davison would be a
good story to show. It's only a two parter (so watchable in one go)
and has a great story line. - It's my current favorite. :-)
Whilst we are on the subject of best and worst stories, could I have
a few opinions on the best Sylv story please?
Regards,
Ben Hills.

  Well to answer all the current questions in one go:
	Best Master Story:  Delgado: The Sea Devils and The Daemons(certainly 
hailed as one of the best overall 3rd Doctor stories, in my opinion anyways)  
Ainley:  Survival.
	Worst Master Story:  Hmmm, I really can't think of Delgado as having 
a bad story, really, not that all of his were great, but he was just so 
damned good!  For Ainley, however, he did a string of shabby scripts with the 
fifth Doctor both the King's Demons and Planet of Fire aren't good Master 
stories, though POF is actually a nice 'romp' so to speak. 
	Best Regeneration:  Toughy, here, I'd have to say that Davison-Baker 
was excellent, but so was Baker-Davison, and then on the other hand Tom Baker 
was so interestingly schizo in the beginnings of Robot, that also brings to 
mind Pertwee-Baker!  
	As for the best story to show someone, its kind of tough, here, a lot 
of Tom Baker stuff would do quite easily, with Pyramids of Mars, Talons of 
Weng-Chiang, and Stones of Blood being really good examples(though Stones of 
Blood is the third in the Key to Time season so that one could be just a bit 
confusing when referencing to the Key, but still...)  For other Docs, 
Resurrection of the Daleks is a good story, so's Black Orchid, An Unearthly 
Child is a good way to just start from the beginning, and if someones willing 
to comit to it, though after beginning I'm sure they'd be hooked, then The 
War Games is great!(It was my first story and still one of my favorites!)  
Inferno's good, and so's the Green Death(My first 3rd Doc story... ahh, 
memories!  :-)  Honestly its hard to pick a 6th or 7th Doctor story, but I've 
always liked Battlefield(okay so I may get a little heat here, but I liked 
it!)  Wow, thats a lot of examples, well then again there are a lot of 
stories!  If I had to pick just one, though, I'd say Talons of Weng-Chiang!  
Simply one of the best!
	Best Seventh Doctor Story:  Well, here's something I like!  The 
Seventh Doctor has always been a particularly favorite Doctor of mine.  The 
entire last season(Battlefield, Ghost Light, Curse of Fenric, and Survival) 
is excellent in my opinion, with Ghost Light being the stand out.
	Wow, well, what can I say, I'm a bit long winded!  I just love 
talking about something I love with people who'll know what I'm talking 
about....  Okay so that may sound a bit confusing, but what can I say!  
	Sam

 with what he had.)
Although he obviously can't be totally blamed, I feel other actors (look
no further than Philip Madoc, Roger Delgado, Julian Glover and Peter
Jeffrey) could have done a better job, in making the Master a more
urbane and potent threat to the Doctor.
Also, i can't stand the comic-book cackling so beloved of Ainley's
Master.
All the best everyone,
Tom

a few opinions on the best Sylv story please?
Sylvester has some great stories. Season 26 would be his best season
especially ghost light, the curse of fenric and survial. Battlefield was
very entertaining however wasn't quite as good as the others. I think his
beginning stories are okay however Mel is so annoying and it takes enjoyment
out of them. And of course remeberances of the daleks is also a classic.
Syvester also put a great performance in the the T.V. movie. It was such a
shame they finished when they did as Dr Who was only getting better.

Absolutely has to be 'The Happiness Patrol'
"I'm glad you're happy!"
"I'm happy you're glad!"
Absolutely chilling story, the candyman's voice is great!

>>released in Australia?
I may be incorrect, but from what I've heard, the only group we'll be able
to by them off are the DWCA. This is apparantly because, they're
distributing the Benny adventures as well. I'm not 100% sure. (More like
77%). I'd like to see them on main stream distrubution, but what are our
chances?
Cheers

verus the frist Doctor.
There can be only one 'D' in Davison... 
It is now, under the Frohman clause of the treaty of DRWHO-L 1997,
a capital offence to add an extraneous 'D', and your execution has
been ordered.  Please arrive at theTower of London on tuesday
week.
Thankyou.
We hope your impending death does not cause too much
inconvenience.

 I concur that this was another great story. "Happiness is nothing unless it
exists side by side with sadness"

Have I missed something when did Julian glover play the master?
Tony


Ok folks - 
Best Master story - The Sea Devils  (especially for the fact that the
Master seems so **civil**!
Worst - The Kings Demons - easily.
Best Regeneration - easily Davison into Baker.  WOW!!
Best introduction story - IMHO the Sea Devils.  If only to see the comedy,
the action and a rip roaring tale.
Incidentally, am I the ONLY person on the list in the UK?!

No, mate, you're not.
And despite the fact i'm a tad perplexed at everyone on this list being
so keen in revealing where they live, I live in Sunderland. There you
