Classic Who - Where Should I Start?
In preparation for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special at the end of November, I'd like to partake in some Classic Who. There's entirely too much for me to go through it all, and there's a good chunk of episodes missing anyway, so I'm looking for recommendations on a sampler pack.
In an ideal world, I'd find stories that introduce me to each of the Doctors as well as each of the companions. I'd like to see some major villains as well, but I don't want my watch list to get too out of control. I only have something like two months after all, assuming I can get very far. I do not have a good track record at being able to watch scifi long after it's been created and not cringe from the less than stellar (compared to now) special effects, costumes and occasionally acting as well.
I've watched all of the BBCA Doctor Revisited Specials thus far, so I have some idea about who One through Seven were. I also watched the Doctor Who movie so I am up to date on all hour and a half of Eight's tenure. So I guess technically I've cracked into Classic Who in a very small way :)
I have gotten some preliminary thoughts on Classic Who already, although not with my current specifications.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
