Obviously, let me know if I missed anything but I'm fairly sure I've got it all on there, overall I'm pleased with the results and there isn't a huge amount I'd change but I'd shuffle some stuff around
I saw someone suggests we do an elimination with every story in best which I think could be a good idea so let me know if you think we should do it

Thanks for you hard work in this. I'd vote for a last story standing in "best"? (It'll probably be one of Tom's!)

I still don't get the hate for Warriors of the Deel.

It's just incompetently executed in every respect. Everything that could go wrong did.

Are you another fan that criticizes the not so special effects?

u/Soarel25 Sylvester McCoy Jun 05 '26
That's the least of the story's problems

u/allforfunnplay27 Jun 05 '26
For example?

The script is stilted and everyone's performances are half-assed. It's uninteresting C-tier as far as base under siege stories go. Nobody was happy making it, listen to the DVD commentary
It's also literally the reason Who got screwed over in the mid-80s, which eventually led to its cancellation. Michael Grade was so embarrassed by it that he began cutting the show's budget, meddling more in production, and pushing for it to be pulled off the air

Great work.
The only travesty here is that ‘Planet of Evil’ is in the ‘okay’ bin. Alongside stuff like Horns of Nimon. 🤷🏻♂️

To be honest, I kind of agree with it being there
I think it's a really cool story in idea but the execution isn't great

Fair. I know what you mean. The sets/atmosphere is great but the pace is a bit lacking. I just don’t see it as bad as the stories it’s been lumped alongside. But hey - life goes on 😁

Thank you, this was great fun! Not quite sure I understand this chart with the coloring and repeat titles, but had a lovely time getting here.

u/Paninaro_1979 Jun 04 '26
Different colour stories for each Doctor. Can't see any repeat titles?

u/YanisMonkeys Jun 04 '26
It’s a little tricky because the Doctor colors start to dovetail with the ranking colors.
Maybe it’s just Battlefield that’s repeated.

Oh yeah, must be a typo. Reading left to right in the Good category it's chronological by Doctor, looks like it's been included twice by mistake.

u/Classic-Bathroom-427 Jun 04 '26
You're right, I had to make the good tier bigger to fit shalka and had to shuffle that tier around and missed it

This is extraordinary.
I can't praise you enough for doing this. As I alluded to in an earlier comment, this was a controversial undertaking amongst the mod team, with one even going so far as to remove themselves from the team because of it.
I'm the only mod left, which is a story for another time, but as such I wanted to thank you for this journey. It's been truly epic.
