[net.tv.drwho] Best episodes & Douglas Adams

brad@looking.UUCP (Brad Templeton) (07/23/84)

Douglas Adams did not write the City of Death, while he did write
the Pirate Planet.  He was script editor for the whole season in which
City of Death showed, which made it a better season.

I too will vote for City of death as a superior episode.  Also the
Pirate Planet.  One of the best Baker episodes however, for being
SF, was "The Invasion of Time".

Other notables - The whole key to time series, Face of Evil (for humour),
Keeper of Traken.

For Davison, "Four to doomsday" and "Mawdryn Undead" stand out.
Most Davison stories I didn't like much.  Castravalva was inferior even
to Robot.

For Pertwee - the most moving was The Green Death.  I've never felt so
sad at a companion leaving as Jo.  Unlike some of the other useless
companions, Jo was fully aware of it and had a real character as such.
It was strange to see her fall in love and leave the Doctor.

Actually, Douglas Adams WAS one of the writers of "City of Death".
He co-wrote it with someone else and they used a fictitious name in
the credits.
