My first episode was Destiny of the Daleks all the way back in the 1980s, which I think was a good episode to start on.
Did he play the curator in the 50th anniversary special?
I actually got him to give my sister a kiss once, at a convention (actually the day after, on the beach in SoCal, that we were all there for autograph signing).
Was the most fantastic ‘younger brother being a brat revenge on his older sister’ moment that I ever experienced. Can’t believe he actually did it after I asked him to.
He was my favorite doctor before he did that, and he’s ascended to Timelord godhood in my eyes after that.

Tom Baker was my first Doctor too, though I don’t remember exactly which story. Might have been The Ark in Space.
If I remember correctly Ark in Space was his second episode, right after Robot. So you caught him from the beginning basically.
For my money, Horror at Fang Rock and Stones of Blood are the two best Who serials, full stop.
I would go with City of Death. It’s hard to beat Douglas Adams.
Ark in Space.

Ace is one of the best companions for sure. No one else comes with a backpack full of explosives they invented themselves.
Ace is one of the best companions for sure.

Ace and the 7th Doctor were the first Doctor Who I saw - her beating up a Dalek with a baseball bat is my favourite companion moment ever from all of Who!

The scene where Leela is knifing a Sontaran in the back of his helmet’s breathing hole was right up there as well.
