We're fucking built for this shit!
There doesn't seem to be a dedicated Classic Who thread, but I signed up for the 1 week trial of Britbox and have been binge watching a ton of classic Who. I'm surprised by how much of it is "unavailable", but I've been watching lots of 1, 5 and 6. I rather like 1, and I think without the silly outfit 6 would be absolutely perfect. For the life of me though, I just can't get into 5 at all. Adric is annoying, sure, as a charmless/less endearing version of Wesley Crusher. Adric isn't the biggest problem though. Teegan is the loving worst, all she does is whine, cry and refuse to listen.

Of 3, 4 and 7 I'm most familiar with 3. I've only watched 1 story each of 4 and 7. 2 I've only seen in "The Three Doctors" and "The Two Doctors".

It's weird because I kind of like Davison as The Doctor, but I've watched Castrovalva, Four To Doomsday and Caves of Androzani and something's just not clicking with the 5th Doctor stories.

As far as Troughton, all his stories that I really want to watch are the early stuff, and none of it is available on Britbox right now.

I guess I posted because I really didn't expect to like Colin Baker as much as I do, but I really dig the 6th Doctor.

See, the prickly smugness and arrogance are what I like about him. The dickishness to Peri can be a bit much sometime though, granted.
