The first Who from 1974 that I encountered: We lived outside the UK for much of 1974, and I'm pretty sure I saw only the last episode of Robot, so my first 1974 Who was probably Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion. This was the last year for some time that I did not see any episodes of Who on first broadcast.

My favourite Who from 1974: This really isn't my favourite era of the TV series, whereas several of these early novelisations are very good indeed. If I had to pick one it might be Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks.

Moving swiftly on from: The dinosaurs.

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