Which Hartnell Stories would you recommend?

[Paul Clement]

And of course Space Museum has perhaps one of the best opening episodes I've seen. The rest of it's a bit of a letdown, but for sheer excellence, part 1 is worth watching alone.

[Larry]

I must be one of the few people who actually likes The Space Museum, but then that's hardly a supprise as there are hardly any Hartnell, stories I don't like..

[Paul Clement]

Oh, I enjoy it enough. I just feel that the first episode towers over the rest of it. I certainly rate Space Museum higher than a lot of other Hartnell stories that are generally better regarded.

[Captain Tancredi]

So in conclusion, then- "most of the ones that exist and some that don't".

[Jonno]

Considering it's currently just £11.99 online at Zavvi, you can't go wrong with The Beginning Box Set, featuring the first 13 episodes and a half-hour recreation of the next 7 (Marco Polo) plus some excellent extras.

And various bits of pilotage. In fact it was watching the stories on this set one episode a week (on their "birthdays"- it was a 45th anniversary thing which grew like Topsy) which set me on my current kick of watching all the Hartnell episodes currently on DVD, one a week on a Friday night.

[Jonno]

Aren't you a bit early for that though - the 45th anniversary will be this November!

[Captain Tancredi]

I rejigged one of my sentences and lost the words "a dry run for" in there...fingertip save.

[Jonno]

Ah, I see! Still scary to think that the show - and the Daleks - will be 45 soon!

[Andrew Curnow]

I remember when it was 33; will I still be around when it's 78?

Oh stop honking Brendan!

[Stuart Wallis]

Ah! but was it around when you were 78?

Go for The Gunfighters if you can, it's a true 'Marmite' story!

well it's certainly a love it or hate story the first time I watched it I hated it and only watched it again during my current watching every episode marathon and actually found my self quite enjoying it..
