OK--mostly stinky-poo from here, but still some decent stories which have fallen to better opponents...

Colony in Space vs Delta and the Bannermen. |

Attack of the Cybermen is still pretty bad. At least Battlefield made some sort of sense!
Delta and the Bannermen gets the chop. That story is so lame. Yet another nail in the McCoy coffin. |

Very very tough!!
Four to Doomsday I always found to be quite dull and pointless. On the other hand Dragonfire was pretty dire as well.
I'll choose Four to Doomsday, because at least Dragonfire featured the departure of Mel !!!!!!
As Ive said previously, Galaxy 4 sent me to sleep - and that was viewing the only surviving 5 minutes of it!!! So that gets it too.

I don't line Dragonfire, where I thought Four to Doomsday was halfway decent--and Jimmy'll back me on that--however, Galaxy 4's no Fury from the Deep!
Invasion of the Dinosaurs vs Meglos.
Paradise Towers vs Planet of Giants. |

Even though I dislike most of Season 11, I'll actually put Meglos in the sin bin.
At least the production values in Dinasours made it funny to watch!!
Paradise Towers goes straight to hell in my book!!! I loathe that story, and I would put that at No. 2, right behind Time and the Rani for being worst story ever.

Planet of the Giants is just a bit dull in parts, and Invasion of the Dinosuars has credibility problems with the title menace--Paradise Towers and Meglos gotta go down in this round!
Resurrection of the Daleks vs Robot.
Snakedance vs Survival. |

I'll go for Robot, as it wasn't as good as it should have been.
I quite like Resurrection of the Daleks, it was one of the few stories that could have been stretched to more than 4 parts without any hiccup.
Survival gets the chop. Whilst that was one of the better McCoy stories, I dont think it measures up to the more compelling Snakedance |

I'm inclined to go with Axel on Resurrection over Robot, not that I dislike Robot but I thought Resurrection was quite well done. The first show of the walkways over the warehouses is quite atmospheric.
And I don't think much of Survival. Why was he returned to Earth again?
Terror of the Vervoids vs The Awakening.

Terror of the Vervoids was appalling because it introduced Mel!!! Isnt that reason enough??
The Aztecs gets it too. Ive seen it a few times, and have been bored rigid by it. Im simply not a fan of the early historical stories at all. |

Awakening was disappointing, but Vervoids was disappointing-er. I like Aztecs, but I'll go with you for Creature, silliness and all.
The Curse of Fenric vs The Dæmons.
The Dominators vs The Enemy of the World. |

Curse of Fenric loses. The Daemons is such a better story in everyway, no contest!
The Dominators lucks out as well. I found that to be rather dull and pointless, although it's been awhile since Ive seen it. |

I'm not a big fan, so it's line ball--go with you. I'd take Enemy over Dominators--is that what you mean?
The Gunfighters vs The Happiness Patrol.
The Invasion of Time vs The Keys of Marinus. |

I meant, I would put Dominators in the bad list.
The Happiness Patrol was awful, definately in the sin bin!
Invasion of Time as well - the Keys of Marinus at least sounds interesting. |

We watched Happiness Patrol at the club. The Kandyman's entrance was greeted with "A gay cyberman!" by Gerrard, which was the only amusing thing about it. And we weren' laughing with it...
Invasion of Time and Keys of Marinus both have the same overstreched tatty problem. Invasion it is.
The King's Demons vs The Massacre.
The Monster of Peladon vs The Mutants. |

Due to my dislike of early historical stories, I'll go for The Massacre. I thought the Kings Demons was pretty funny - although that wasnt the intention!!
I hardly remember anything at all about The Mutants, although I do recall it being boring, so that gets it. |

I really don't like King's Demons--it's my least favourite. So we'll have to leave that until we can get a tie breaker. The Mutants was quite dire, makes Monster look well paced!
The Myth Makers vs The Seeds of Death.
The Smugglers vs The Space Pirates. |

Seeds of Death was a great story, one of my early faves. So The Myth Makers gets the axe.
The Space Pirates goes down the gurgler too. The episode I saw of that was pretty terrible, very slow. |
