If there were someone who knew Doctor Who but had never seen any Troughton era, what would be a good thing to show them?
(Free LJ can't cope with polls)
Mind Robber (Disadvantages: that episode without Frazer. Advantages: crazy in the good way, That Catsuit.)
Tomb Of The Cybermen (Disadvantages: Zoeless, [1] extreme race fail, cybermats. Advantages: the Doctor doing Skience with levers, quite fun.)
Invasion (Disadvantages: Animated episodes may be a problem, long. Advantages: Unit being awesome, Zoe being awesome.)
Web of Fear (Disadvantages: hahahaha foam. I can't actually remember this one much, maybe it was boring? Advantages: It would be a surprise to rewatch.)
Some episodes from Lost In Time. (Disadvantages: Some people like narrative, apparently. Advantages: Jamie in black leather.)

[1]Sorry, Victoria fans. Although I'm happy to concede she isn't nearly as useless as Polly, possibly the companion who originated all the cliches about the girls just being there to fall over and scream.

Also: An Outside Context Fic. Gen. About 300 words.
(A/N: Oh all right, the context is this madwoman's epic in progress with Derren Brown as the Doctor's companion, and my noticing that Brown has a skill in common with Sylvester McCoy.)
