Last week I officially set one of my goals for this coming year: to watch one season of Classic Doctor Who per month. While it took me a year to get through the first six seasons, they were each roughly 40 episodes long, wheres subsequent seasons are half that length, making this goal much more reasonable than it would've been other (and basically the same amount of content as last year).

So boldly going into the Color era and first season featuring the Third Doctor, it feels like the show has gotten a shot in the arm despite resetting the cast and putting the TARDIS on standby. This is in no small part thanks to an excellent supporting cast and the introduction of two of the more recognizable of the franchise's monsters. I still think season 6 was a bit more ambitious creatively, but this season was cozy and grounded in a way we haven't really seen on the show before (and frankly, the early 70's through the lens of this show just seems like a fun throwback).

Like the previous five seasons, the serials are available to watch via streaming on Britbox, but from this point on none of them are missing! (Though supposedly some episodes are missing their colorized versions, which isn't the case this season). This season only had four stories, and this was probably the easiest ranking I've done so far.

( You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? )
