Rating the Pertwee stories

[rushy]

Pertwee's a Doctor that I'm always on good terms with, but rarely seek out unless I'm in the mood for some comic book fluff. There's just not a lot going on in the UNIT era beyond 'save the Earth' and 'mess about with the Master'. It's always well written and entertaining, but not the most engaging period of the show for me. 

Spearhead From Space - 6/10
The Silurians - 5/10
The Ambassadors of Death - 10/10
Inferno - 8/10

Terror of the Autons - 4/10
The Mind of Evil - 8/10
The Claws of Axos - 6/10
Colony in Space - 7/10
The Daemons - 3/10

Day of the Daleks - 7/10
The Curse of Peladon - 9/10
The Sea Devils - 7/10
The Mutants - 6/10
The Time Monster - 7/10

The Three Doctors - 2/10
Carnival of Monsters - 8/10
Frontier in Space - 6/10
Planet of the Daleks - 7/10
The Green Death - 9/10

The Time Warrior - 8/10
Invasion of the Dinosaurs - 5/10
Death to the Daleks - 4/10
The Monster of Peladon - 3/10

Pertwee's era is a mixed bag for me, as much as I like him (though even he can phone it in sometimes).
Season 7 is a masterpiece, 8 is mixed, 9 is the worst 70s season with only Day worth phoning home about, 10 is pretty solid and 11 starts well with the first two and then kinda falls asleep.

I'm surprised nobody has given Spearhead the 10 it deserves. I watched the Blu ray of it late last evening and it knocked my socks off. What a stylish start to the era. Season 7 is Pertwee's greatest season and Liz is awesome.

Spearhead gets a 10 from me. Top 10 too.
