Favourite Third Doctor Story? (kbin.social)

The 3rd doctor is probably my least favourite of the Doctors - I think he's pompous, humourless and generally acts like he wishes he could be a Victorian gentleman instead of a time travelling alien.

That said, I love his first series, especially Inferno, and I'm quite fond of The Green Death. Does anyone else have a favourite Pertwee?

I am rather fond of 3, but I definitely see what you mean when it comes to his pompous nature. I also adore his first season. I think it is so well put together. I do wish Mike Yates first showed up in this season though. I strangely miss his presence when watching that season.

The first season just really has a different feel - there's a lot more actual tension between the Doctor and the Brigadier for instance.

As for Mike Yates the first story I ever saw him in was Planet of the Spiders!
