Pertwee Survivor Round 18

[Paul Clement]

Round 17 has come to an end. The votes are in, and a story is about to leave the game taking the 4th spot overall. Which one will it be?

Eviction:
Mind of Evil 4
Day of the Daleks 2
Death to the Daleks 2
Spearhead from Space 1

Save:
Day of the Daleks 3
Mind of Evil 3
Spearhead from Space 2
Death to the Daleks 1

Mind of Evil tops the Eviction vote but also has the joint highest Save votes so remains safe. Day and Death both have 2 Eviction votes but Day also had the joint highest Save votes, so it is Death to the Daleks that leaves the game.

Evicted:
The Time Monster
Planet of the Daleks
The Mutants
The Monster of Peladon
Colony In Space
The Ambassadors of Death
The Sea Devils
Frontier In Space
Carnival of Monsters
The Curse of Peladon
Terror of the Autons
The Daemons
The Claws of Axos
Planet of the Spiders
The Three Doctors
The Green Death
Invasion of the Dinosaurs
Silurians
The Time Warrior
Inferno
Death to the Daleks

Contenders:

Evict: Mind of Evil
Save: Day of the Daleks

Evict: Day of the Daleks

Save: Spearhead from Space

[MacNimon]

This is getting harder each week! I'm happy with the final three, though!

Save: Day Of The Daleks
Evict: Spearhead From Space

[Wayne]

Apart from Spearhead, I'm quite surprised the other 2 stories made it this far. But there are very few Pertwee stories I'm not fussed about, so it's fine.

[Andrew Curnow]

Wot Si said.

Evict: Mind of Evil
Save: Day of the Daleks

[MacNimon]

To be honest, the last 10 weeks or so have all been hard. I'd have been pretty happy regardless of what made it this far!

[Wayne]

I think I'm more surprised at the loss of stories like The Green Death, whilst Day of the Daleks, which I enjoy, but don't consider amongst the best, are still here.

[Stuart Wallis]

Well now you know I haven't been threatening or bribing Wayne after all - my two favourite Pertwees got through to this stage.

Save Day Of the Daleks

Evict Mind of Evil

[Paul Clement]

I was disappiinted that Daemons (my favourite) and Terror of the Autons went so early. Pleased Inferno got as far as it did but amazed it did so, as it was wobbling for weeks. Spearhead and Mind of Evil make up my top 5 Pertwee stories, so happy with the final 3 all told. Day is probably my 6th favourite

[SiHart]

The Green Death went far too soon, as did Carnival of Monsters. They're my two favourite Pertwees.

[Andrew Curnow]

I have to admit, other than Monster, there aren't any Pertwees I actually dislike as such. I'm afraid I always struggle with Carnival, although I don't know why, but even such alleged turkeys as The Mutants and Colony in Space, I really enjoy. So I've found the Pertwee Survivor the most difficult by far (so far) which has been a bit of an eye-opener for me actually.

[Dirk Gently]

Evict - Mind of Evil

Save - Day of the Daleks

[MacNimon]

It just shows how little separates the majority of stories in Pertwee's era. And even though I picked Spearhead for eviction, I think that's probably down to the fact that I find the later lighter 'UNIT family' seasons more enjoyable in general than the more serious (and admittedly probably superior) Season 7.
