Planet of the Spiders is next for me.
I just finished Tom Baker's last season in my continuous rewatch. Different from my previous rewatch I really liked the last couple seasons. It definitely helps that Tom was my first doctor that I watched as a kid. For me, he will always be THE doctor. But I think my favorite aspect to the Tom Baker seasons is the scant use of the Daleks, the Cyberrmen and the Master. They appear just enough but not retread over and over like the NuWho. The writers had no trouble coming up with original stories and villains to keep the series going. There were enough villains from this era to supply revisits for the 21st century doctors for many seasons without the incessant appearances of the same tired three villains. Anyway I would much rather watch the least interesting Tom series than almost anything since the reboot (except the Weeping Angels).
I have two Ready Rooms and - with a little luck - the Beebo Saves Xmas special to watch tonight, but it'll hopefully be a slow enough Friday night shift to get most if not all of Planet of the Spiders done as well.
I got 4 in: hopefully I'll get to Planet of the Spiders parts 5 and 6 this week; then onto Tom Baker.
Now I'm on "Frontier in Space," which features one of the tropes that I can't stand, which is nobody believing the characters who know something that everyone else doesn't know. And it just goes on and on. 
Edit: Finished "Frontier in Space," and now I'm onto "Planet of the Daleks." I hope they didn't just completely drop the Earth/Draconian/Master stuff from the last serial.

Well, work didn't get busy...it started blocking dailymotion. I guess I'm watching at home for the immediate future...

On my complete rewatch I just finished Earthshock. As much as I dislike the overuse of the Cybermen now, I really liked the Classic Who use of them. I'm liking Peter Davison much more this time. Before I thought he was too low key, even boring. Maybe it was because after 7 seasons of Tom Baker I was so attached to his version of the Doctor. But now after having watched several series of his first season I appreciate his take on the Doctor much better. It's a good contrast with Tom's. I also have come to appreciate Adric much more. Like others I used to think Adric was very annoying, but I see what they were doing with his character. He developed from a spoiled know it all to someone who ended up sacrificing himself for everyone. I was sad to see him go this time.
While Colin seems like a very nice person, he's not a very good actor and that also impacted the show.
