Favourite Third Doctor Story? (kbin.social)

The 3rd doctor is probably my least favourite of the Doctors - I think he's pompous, humourless and generally acts like he wishes he could be a Victorian gentleman instead of a time travelling alien.

That said, I love his first series, especially Inferno, and I'm quite fond of The Green Death. Does anyone else have a favourite Pertwee?

Is that the one where he's having a sword fight with the Master and eats and drinks during the fight - just to prove what a fabulous swordsman he is?

No that's the Sea Devils - I remembered watching that on the BBC2 repeats in the 90s because it was the first time I saw Delgado's Master.

There's a really weird edit in that fight scene as well - everything goes into something like speeded up stop motion for no reason for a few seconds

Mind Of Evil is set in a prison and a machine that kills people with their worst fear. The Master is chewing on a cigar in a limo for most of it so far. It really suits him. The Doctor has name dropped Chairman Mao so maybe he's not a pompous Tory after all but a Communist now?
