Did the two-parter that you were shown contain a character named Rose? DW now has 13 different Doctors, one of them is bound to appeal to most people somewhere. The trite response being "Tom Baker!!!!!" but there's generally a good reason for that. When it comes to arc style shows, a lot of episodes people think are ooey-gooey-squee-dee-great are the ones that require the viewer to know and like the characters' mannerisms. Classic DW, to compare, almost never had arcs so - for the most part - one could show any story out of the blue. Like "City of Death", "The Seeds of Death", or "The Aztecs". Would I recommend to a newbie anything like "The Caves of Androzani"? No way. Why? Because one has to know and like the characters, which means picking a dozen Davison episodes and that includes "Planet of Fire" since Peri is introduced and it's important to know a bit about her setup, FWIW. Or "The Edge of Destruction", the Doctor himself has a character arc in his very first three stories (spoiler: it's about his personal growth, having landed on Earth after escaping numerous harrowing adventures and being paranoid of humans and calling them savages. Ian and Barbara are the focal point, who turn him around. Even in "The Daleks" there are clear signs of the Doctor being more complex and moral than some of what his first story presents.) That and Kirk's cheese tastes good!

This video was posted on YT two days ago. Cool stuff. Now I have to try & remember what episode(s) they used that thing.
It was in Planet of the Spiders, in the episode that's nothing but The Doctor chasing someone and they're constantly changing modes of transportations. Some people say it's just a waste of an episode but I've always found it a lot of fun. It remains one of my favorite Pertwee episodes.
Yep, the Doctor is always moral, but the first three serials are about him coming to see Ian and Barbara as his friends, not Susan's pets.
For anyone coming new to this, or wanting a refresher, the six Tales of the Tardis in the Whoniverse section of BBC iPlayer are a good place to go. If you can't get iPlayer, I dare say they'll turn up other places too at some point, either legitimately or otherwise.
All the actual original scripts you could ever want to download and peruse... https://www.bbc.co.uk/writers/scripts/whoniverse I might as well close the site down and save my money...
She's baaaack...on DUST. Mad Scientists Vol. 1. How cool is it that Karen still does these types of videos?
