Well, seeing since you mentioned the Autons coming to life, gbollard...

Gotta love the music, despite the cheesy electronics. Of course, they go one better with a homicidal inflatable chair in Terror of the Autons...

Of course, Robert Holmes writes the best stories, mostly, and Caves of Androzani has several great examples of his writing. I mean, 'you stinking offal, Morgus, LOOK AT ME!! !' Isn't that just pure Bob Holmes?

Not to mention one of the best cliffhangers in Doctor Who's history, showing the Doctor at his most desperate...and his most dangerous.

I love the Autons. They are up there on the creepy meter. When I first saw them, I never looked at mannequins twice. Or I did really, thinking they would move.

Quick question -- who is everyone's favorite episode writer? For me it's (original series) Douglas Adams.

For me, I think I would have to go with Kit Pedler for creating my favorite Doctor Who monsters, and Robert Holmes for writing many of my favorite episodes in the classic series. I'd name Gerry Davis along with Pedler, but Davis loses points for having amnesia and forgetting that Cybermen have no emotions when he wrote the script for "Revenge of the Cybermen" (and no, it wasn't entirely Christopher Robbie's fault.)

Robert Holmes
He wrote/co-wrote a whole heap of stories, many of which are among the best...
The Krotons
The Space Pirates
Spearhead from Space
Terror of the Autons
Carnival of Monsters
The Time Warrior
The Ark In Space (from a story by John Lucarotti)
Pyramids of Mars (from a story by Lewis Greifer)
The Brain of Morbius (from a story by Terrance Dicks)
The Deadly Assassin
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
The Sun Makers
The Ribos Operation
The Power of Kroll
The Caves of Androzani
The Two Doctors
The Mysterious Planet
The Ultimate Foe (first episode only)

If I had to pick a single writer, Robert Holmes.

But David Whitaker, Victor Pemberton (for writing Fury from the Deep), Terry Nation, Kit Pedler and Derrick Sherwin (for The Invasion), Malcolm Hulke, Terrance Dicks, Don Houghton (Inferno, FFS), Bob Baker and Dave Martin, Douglas Adams, Louis Marks (for Planet of Evil), Chris Boucher, Christopher H Bidmead, Eric Saward, Stephen Gallagher (for Warrior's Gate), Phillip Martin (for Vengeance on Varos), Pip and Jane Baker (for Terror of the Vervoids and finishing The Ultimate Foe), Stephen Wyatt, Ian Briggs, Ben Aaronovitch, Graeme Curry, Marc Platt, Rona Munro, Russell T Davies, Rob Shearman, Steven Moffat, Keith Temple, Stephen Greenhorn, Matt Jones, Gareth Roberts and Helen Raynor have all been good writers, or at least written good stories.

Bob Holmes for the classic series, and Steven Moffat for the revived series.

Not actually a Doctor Who moment or quote, but Oh Mummy, this is funny...

Steven Moffat is brilliant for the new series. Empty Child was definitely one that scared the pants off of me. But Blink was his best I think. I think it was Moffat that wrote these. Correct me here if I got it confused.

No, you haven't got it confused.

Thanks. So Moffat is, in my opinion, the strongest writer of the new series creatively.

This is one of the most classic moments in Doctor Who history...

Ah, the first time we definitively saw a Dalek flying, that confusing scene from Revelation of the Daleks (later corrected by the Restoration Team for the CGI effects option of that release) notwithstanding.

Five words...

"......I don't want to go!"

Goodbye David Tennant. We're sure gonna miss you.

And the music. The music is called Vale Decem, or Farewell to the Tenth.
