The big finish stories gave me much more appreciation for 5 / 6 / 7, they all have such great adventures and once they find their groove are very well produced. I only add that last bit after listening to the very first handful of stories, they needed a bit of time to get things great.

Of course 8 we hardly saw, and the movie was meh but I think I enjoy his stories almost the most. I'm a bit of a 7 fan for the audio, maybe cause I always thought Ace was a fun companion but the rolling Rs are fun to listen to heh. Though I haven't listened to much passed their 100 so need to get more.

Apologies to not naming the actors I am terrible at remembering spelling and didn't want to embarrass myself with the time constraints.

Huh I thought the one story they did was the origin story, since it has the appearance of the first Cybermen (well they had a few around already) and Mondas had some people still. I forget the name but I think it's #5 and Nyssa, this sounds like it may be a bit before that but also sounds like the doctor may trip over himself if it's not much earlier.

The 10th Planet and Tomb of the Cybermen would like a word

I'll admit, I found first three doctors more rough to watch and only watched a handful of 1-3, more 3 than 1 and 2 for sure. Does make me curious on those episodes though, I do enjoy seeing first and early appearances of major characters/species in series when they're still being fleshed out.

The great thing about DW is that you can redo an origin as often as you want, and it's all equally canon!

That guy looks like George W Bush and Robert Deniro's love child.

That's a "making of" video I'd love to watch
