Definitely the best poll since they started including NuWho. Nine out of the top fifteen stories are from the classic era. Removing all the NuWho stories in that top sixteen the top ten would read like this:
1. Genesis of the Daleks
2. The Caves of Androzani
3. City of Death
4. The Talons of Weng-Chiang
5. Pyramids of Mars
6. Remembrance of the Daleks
7. The Robots of Death
8. The War Games
9. Terror of the Zygons
10. The Web of Fear
Six of those would probably be in and around my top ten.

It's a very solid list. Probably 4 or 5 in my top 10, but they'd all be in my top 20 oe 30.

I was under the assumption that Seeds was the more popular Season 13 Camfield story. Seeds is a quality story, Sometimes the six-parters felt dragged out, but I liked this approach very much because it felt like it used its time well between two very different locations. Zygons is a favourite of mine though, so pleased to see it there. |

Okay, here goes nothing! In no particular order, my top 10 classic series stories would be:
1. Genesis of the Daleks - Iconic villain origin story!
2. The Talons of Weng-Chiang - Victorian mystery vibes!
3. The Caves of Androzani - Emotional rollercoaster!
4. City of Death - Witty script, Parisian romance!
5. Pyramids of Mars - Ancient Egyptian sci-fi goodness!
6. The War Games - Epic finale for the Second Doctor!
7. The Ark in Space - Creepy space horror!
8. Earthshock - Cybermen at their best!
9. The Curse of Fenric - Atmospheric and complex!
10. Remembrance of the Daleks - Action-packed and nostalgic!
There you have it! My top 10 classic Who stories. 😊
What do you think?

I know all of it is set in Victorian London, but the first four episodes are more about Chang and the theatre compared to the final two which focus more on Greel and the House of the Dragon. |

11-20 if anyone is interested. Again, pretty good list. It's a shame there's only one Williams era story in the top twenty, but at least the JNT era is well represented with five entries.
11. Inferno
12. The Power of the Daleks
13. The Seeds of Doom
14. The Deadly Assassin
15. The Ark in Space
16. The Tomb of the Cybermen
17. Earthshock
18. The Five Doctors
19. The Curse of Fenric
20. Spearhead from Space

I agree with seven of those. Ark, Pyramids and Genesis wouldn't be in my top ten though the latter is obviously a strong piece of television. I'm more of a Destiny of the Daleks person, but I do appreciate the weight of the storyline of Genesis. |

Zygons is a favourite of mine though, so pleased to see it there. I also love Zygons. I'm far more believing of the Scottish setting than I am of the "London" scenes in NuWho. I don't normally consider Liz Sladen one of the best looking companions, but she's always done a lot for me in this serial.  |

It's always fascinating to see how our opinions align and diverge. Seven out of ten isn't bad at all - that's a pretty high level of agreement! I'm glad to see that most of my picks resonated with you. As for Ark, Pyramids, and Genesis, I can understand why they might not make everyone's top ten. While I adore Genesis of the Daleks for its weighty storyline and iconic moments, I respect that others might prefer the lighter tone of Destiny of the Daleks. Each to their own when it comes to personal favorites! It's the diversity of opinions that makes these discussions so rich and engaging. |

No series 7 stories ever being in these top tens really bugs me. The whole series should be in the top 10.

I'd definitely swap out Genesis for Spearhead. Then again I'd swap out Pyramids for Decay, Robots for Shada and Zygons for Ribos too.  |

City of Death would be nowhere near my top ten, The Time Warrior would always trump it in the "lighter tone" story stakes.

It's a good list by DWM standards. Probably only 4 or 5 in my Top 10, but 8 of them would be in my Top 30.
