Intro

The speaker is covering the six Doctor Who stories that had the most positive effect and shaped the love for Doctor Who, science fiction, and even the horror genre. Two of these stories are obvious, while one will be surprising.

The Horror of Fang Rock

"The Horror of Fang Rock" started the journey into Doctor Who and sci-fi television, as well as the horror genre. It is synonymous with nostalgia and meaning for the speaker. The story had the biggest effect and made the speaker infatuated with horror, mainly because of the monster. The setup, apprehension, and atmosphere, along with the military tactics of the Rutan, make it a love story. The speaker rates it 11 out of 10, as it had the biggest positive effect. It remains the story closest to the speaker's heart.

Dalek

"Dalek" is the speaker's favorite new series episode. It was a tough pick between "Dalek" and "Bad Wolf" and "Parting of the Ways". Robert Sherman's storytelling delivers a terrifying depiction of the Daleks, no longer seen as a joke. The Dalek is an embodiment of a death machine and has the speaker's favorite quote in Doctor Who, deceptively complimenting the Doctor.

Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel

The Cybermen are the speaker's favorite villain in Doctor Who. Their delivery in the 60s was perfection. The love for the Cybermen originated from the new series, "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel". This story captures some of the themes of why they were so great in the 60s: emotionless. The Cybermen enforce the belief of technology that has come too far, where the essence of humanity is gone.

Inferno

Before 2013, the speaker phased out of Doctor Who, but that changed when the love for the show reignited. "Inferno" was the story that made the speaker wonder why they stopped watching the show. It is a masterpiece and the best Pertwee story of all time. It features brilliant depictions of fascism, where the Doctor faces alternative parallel versions of individuals and witnesses the destruction of a whole world.

The War Games

"The War Games" is the speaker's favorite Doctor Who story of all time. Despite its flaws, it had tremendous pressure due to the season 6 controversy. The entirety of season 6 was changed because the scripts were subpar. The speaker loves the setup of the story and the villains slowly revealing the chain of command. It is the greatest piece of black and white television.

The Elite

"The Elite" is a Big Finish story. It changed the speaker's tune on the Fifth Doctor, who they previously found boring and onedimensional. The speaker now loves the Fifth Doctor. The story stands as the speaker's favorite Big Finish story of all time. "The Elite" is a unique Dalek story, influencing an entire society into a fascistic totalitarian system.

0:00 hey everybody I'm not dead haven't left YouTube won't leave YouTube anytime soon I'm just the most inconsistent person when it comes to uploading it's pretty much it when it comes to me I am going to cover my six most Lov Doctor Who stories that shaped my love the Doctor Who so this isn't like a top six favorite Doctor Who stories of all time not necessarily what I mean by the title is these six stories had the most positive effect for shaped my love for Doctor Who and not really just that but my love for science fiction and even the horror genre two of these stories if you know me you will see coming number one and number five this isn't a ranking in

0:46 order mind you yeah you will see coming it's a no freaking brainer the rest of them however including definitely including number six you won't see coming but once I get to it you're going to go hell yeah you're going to like the reason why I picked number six so let's get straight into it and cover my six most Lov Doctor Who stories that shaped me as a doctor who fan let's begin the Doctor Who story it started it out for me it not only shaped my journey

1:32 into Doctor Who and sci-fi television but the horror genre too it's the story perhaps most synonymous with me in terms of nostalgia and meaning it is the horror of fan rock my earliest memories of doctor Hood was in fact the Tom Baker ERA with the VHS sisters lying on the floor with me admiring them horror FY Rock revenge of the Cyberman The Ark in space and pyramids of Mars from memory being the first stories I ever watched I also had early memories of Genesis of the doxs and the robots of death too but never owns the vhs's of them horror fan Rock was in fact my earliest memory and the story that had the biggest effect on me that made me not only a doctor who

2:17 fan but infatuated with horror mainly because of Mr creepoid over here scared the absolute out of me I mean do you want to see this daing in a dark alleyway yeah you're done you know what criminal I haven't actually done a proper review on the horror fan Rock got change got change you know what else is Criminal but my lazy ass is still not finished the fourth doctor ranking video I'll see you in 2027 for the release the setup of the story the apprehension with the atmosphere and not knowing who is next to be killed was masterful in horror fan Rock the military tactics of the routon and used shapeshifting and weaponizing the situation by killing one by one only makes the supporting characters break under the pressure is some of the best performances of all time horror fan rock is a love story but

3:04 I admit I love this story a heck of a lot more than most people I would rate it 11 out of 10 it it breaks the 10 out of 10 rating system it doesn't even do it justice it's the story that had the biggest positive effect on me than anything else true there are a very small handful of stories I prefer as a narrative that I put over horror fan rock in a ranking one being extremely obvious you know what it is however horror fan Rock remains to me the story that is closest to my heart if I was to destroy my entire collection or episodes are raced I am positive this is being picked first the horror of fan

3:52 Rock moving forward in time to the new series but it could be my favorite news series episode of all time cuz I'm yet to Marathon the new series but the original new series dark story for me Remains the new series episode I love the most truth be told I can put like most episodes from series 1 and Series 2 here to cover dalic and to be honest it was quite the battle for me in my head to pick either dalc or bad wolf and pattern of the ways I was going back and forward with them so it was a tough pick I was obsessed with these stories to the point where

4:37 I'm surprised the DVDs still even work a man of times I played them dck with Robert Sherman's just incredible storytelling on screen delivers one of the most terrifying and masterful depictions of the DX no longer being a joke it's weapon seen as a joke nope defeated by stairs nope the fact it looks like a dust bin nope it's an embodiment of a death machine also has my favorite quote in perhaps all of Doctor Who of a d mocking but as well in a very deceptive way complimenting the doctor that he would make a good daring that the very thing the doctor hates so much is now within himself which makes him and the viewer

5:26 speechless why because it's true if I was to tell you my favorite villain in order of Doctor Who which terrified viewers back in the 60s due to its connections and themes surrounding integrating human flesh with artificial Machinery it is indeed the Cyberman my love for the 60 Cyberman cannot be expressed enough though we can forget about this pile of pants though but the other stories my word just a work of art and it furthers my statement the Cybermen are my favorite villain in all of doct who which pains my heart that the new series never seemed to get them

6:11 right their delivery in the 60s was Perfection a motionless cybernetic constructs who have no compunction to human life or anything of that matter makes them even more colder sometimes than the darx ironically after everything that I've said my love for the Cyberman originated from the new series that is the rise of the Cyberman and the age of Steel true I prefer the 10th Planet the moon base Tomb of the Cyberman and The Invasion over it no question but deep down my love of the Cyberman my favorite villain originates from the news series why because this captures some of the themes why they

6:58 were so great in the' 60s emotionless and the direction camera work it all comes together perfectly to capture the essence of why they are such a great villain nowadays and after they just can't get them right the Cyber to me enforces the belief of technology that has come too far that the essence of humanity is now gone in the past and everyone is simply a soulless emotionless empty shell that cares for nothing and no one before 2013 and the creation of TJ

7:44 reductions there was a time I phased out of Doctor Who I was no longer interested in following my love for the show but then all that changed because my love for Doctor Who reignited again and I started my doctor who collection Journey went to HMV in Bristol cribs Causeway and P four stories of them being death to the DARS the five doctors the mannequin Mania box set and Inferno Inferno was indeed the story that reignited the flame that made me go why the hell did I stop watching this brilliant show Inferno yet again is a masterpiece and so is season 7 is without question the best Perle story of all time it's close with the sea devil

8:31 for me but Inferno takes the crown brilliant depictions of fascism where the doctor faces alternative parallel versions of individuals he's formed relationships with and some of the darkest and bleakest depictions and moments in all of Doctor Who witnessing the destruction of a whole world because of the motivations and greed of an egotistical madman a memory that only hauns the doctor seeing a whole world burn currently stands right now and always will let's be honest as my favorite Doctor Who story of all time besides

9:18 horror of fan Rock the story most associated with me and another story that just needs to have the proper treatment in terms of a review it's the war games the 10p part finale to the second Dr Hera despite its flaws which it does have the war games had tremendous pressure because the whole season 6 controversy Doctor Who was in a terrible State the basic story I've told this before multiple times but the entirety of season 6 was indeed changed because the scripts were subpar and as well the controversy following the dominators which is my biggest guilty pleasure of all time a little shout out to the dominators and the whole structure of season 6 was

10:04 completely changed like Peter Lan's original script we didn't see who was the writer of the M robber Robert Holmes's original script replaced with the croons we didn't see and ler mman the original departure of Jamie McMan and if season 6 didn't restructure we wouldn't have got the war games either I love the entire them the setup of the story the villains slowly revealing the chain of command over time even these freaking guards in like scuba diver outfits I mean yeah it looks really cheap and low budget but I can look past it and sort of take the piss out of it besides its flaws which it does have I got to admit it does have it but I can just look past them it is the greatest

10:50 piece of black and white television and my favorite Doctor Who story of all time now you were probably thinking does horror fan rock rival it and there was a time where I put both of them together in the same place I was really unsure of which one I preferred truth be told now I do prefer the war games as a story over horror fan Rock but horror fan Rock did play the bigger role in shaping me as a doctor who the only possibility that the war games get knocked off first place is that they magically out of thin air find the entirety of the power of the DX that's the only possibility I ever see the war games being dethroned as number one but let's be real the

11:36 episodes are probably just complete mush right now burned a some has it in his shed we don't really know this entry is going to have you scratch in your head and might be considered cheating because this isn't a television story is from the extended media quite the curveball at you haven't I it is not a doctor who book some people might be thinking it could have been a doctor who book but no it isn't it's in fact a big finished story it's been a very long time could be like 7even eight years something like that

12:23 since I did a big finish ranking video of my favorite big finishes of all time as of like right now since I've just glossed over it I would say this is my favorite big finish story of all time it's doubtful we're going to share the same opinion with the best big finish of all time cuz there are literally thousands but not only that but this audio this big finish story changed my tune on a certain incarnation of the Doctor Who throughout my history of the channel I always said I found this incarnation of the doctor boring and onedimensional it's true I said it way back in 2013 and throughout the years I keep saying it I'm so sorry I was a complete idiot

13:09 because now my tune is completely changed on the fifth doctor I in fact love the fifth doctor and the story to do that for me was the elite that is why the elite is here not only does it perhaps stand as my favorite big finish story of all time but how it changed my tune and my position on the fifth doctor that's what it did and I would say that's a damn big accomplishment the history of my channel only enforces that point I didn't like the fifth doctor at all now hell no the fifth doctor is awesome and perhaps this is criticism of the TV era I didn't

13:55 think it did enough to flesh out the Incarnation but stories like the elite spare parts and the Peter L Massacre all brilliant stories that show a sid of the fifth doctor being pinned in the corner and reacting differently than his soft more compassionate side someone who could ensure a bit of that dark side and for some reason when the fifth doctor shows that more darker aspects of the character it hits more compared to any other Incarnation but not just that the elite is a very unique d story and I would say it's more than just a Dal story what the Dal does and how it influences an entire Society into a very

14:41 fascistic totalitarian system is just beyond genius right in the original idea by Barbara C was out's World ambitious I'm not throwing any shade of Barbara CL as flipping out she has some good ideas but it just not it just doesn't translate well during the time it they just couldn't do it way too ambitious and it just couldn't fit the budget flipping cool idea and again credit to John Dorney through the adaptation and the expansion on the story as well as the cast because my word is some of the best performances in the elite and that is it those to me are the six stories that I hold the most love for out of everything else horror fan rock is

15:27 probably the one that holds the most important it's introduce my love for the horror genre because of this creepy weirdo and to start my doctor who Journey darck because to me that always encapsulates perhaps my favorite new series story of all time it's the one I've rewatched the most rise of the Cyberman in the AG of Steel because it is the first story that made me love the Cyberman my favorite villain in the entire show Inferno because it reignited my love for Doctor Who in 2013 and to start this entire Channel which it wouldn't have happened otherwise if I didn't reignited my love thanks Inferno the war games which currently stands

16:13 which will always stand as my favorite Doctor Who story of all time and one of the best pieces of black and white television and number six probably quite the curveball but the elite not only is my favorite big finish story of all time most likely but it made me fall fall in love with the fifth incarnation of the Doctor Who I originally called boring and onedimensional I can only say sorry to that please share your most loved Doctor Who stories in the comments below which has the biggest effect on you that made you become a doctor who fan doesn't even need to be from the TV series expand it add some extended Media stuff yeah of course thanks for watching new

17:00 video next week have a good one
