The first Who from 1985 that I encountered: My memory is that I didn’t in fact catch any of Attack of the Cybermen on first broadcast, and that Vengeance on Varos was the first story this season that I watched first time round. I was 17.

My favourite Who from 1985: This isn’t a high point on screen, is it? On the other hand, both Doctor Who – The Myth Makers and Doctor Who – The Invasion are pretty good novelisations.

Moving swiftly on from: Knowing what we do now, In A Fix With Sontarans is pretty unpalatable.

So, what was your favourite of the above? What is the best bit? (And if you like, what is the worst bit?)
