Though I had seen some Tom Baker and Peter Davison episodes many years ago, I finally met The Doctor when I watched <i>An Unearthly Child</i>. From my Baker-Davison experience, I thought the Daleks were stupid. They were presented properly in Season One, allowing me to understand they were more than kitchen utensils yelling "Exterminate!" And, 35 of the 42 episodes still exist (well, 33, but BBC animated two of the missing ones). It was truly The Doctor traveling through history (Marco Polo, Aztecs, French Revolution). I enjoyed it.<br><br>Season One is the most complete of the seasons starring William Hartnell, and William Hartnell was, and is, The Doctor. All the others are just different sides of his personality. Well, to me, anyway.Basilhttp://www.basilsblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-38773709631411513822014-03-16T06:20:10.000-04:002014-03-16T06:20:10.000-04:00Thank you again, Basil!

I don't mind stories that increase in complexity arithmetically, but shun those that do so exponentially.
