DOC-METER
The fifth incarnation began his tenure like a happy infant, exploring the confines of his world and then gradually maturing when faced with difficulties, such as irascible companions, irredeemable villains and bloodbaths. He faltered, yes, and his naivete often got him into trouble, but his kindness never died.
FAVOURITE STORY
Snakedance.
FAVOURITE COMPANION
Tegan Jovanka.
FAVOURITE ENEMY
The Master. I know, lame choice, but Ainley breathed life into almost every story he was in.
SCREWDRIVER
Continuation of the Fourth Doctor's(silver rod reminiscent of that flashlight thing that actual doctors use to look in your mouth).
COSTUME
A charming custom cricketer's costume, celery included for a touch of eccentricity.
WORST STORY
Frontios.
WORST COMPANION
Nyssa(I don't hate her, she just never got a chance to really bloom).
WORST ENEMY
The Silurians, for how poorly represented they were.
OVERALL ERA
Season 19 was a disaster. It had some good stories, but the cringy melodrama that the writers forced onto the TARDIS crew(coupled with their inexperienced acting, poor script editing and Davison still finding his feet in the role) really spoiled it for me.
After Adric's death and the end of the terrible Heathrow arc, the show gradually began to find its self-confidence again, excelling in more cerebral storytelling and returning to slightly self-mocking humor.
By the eleventh hour, I had fallen in love with Davison's sardonic, weary Doctor and his bizarre, but imaginative adventures and along with the man himself, regretted his early departure.
