Doctor Who: 5 Great Seventh Doctor Stories!
There were diamonds in the rough; here are five of the seventh Doctor's most well loved adventures.
When Doctor Who returned to the air after the firing of Sixth Doctor Colin Baker, it was with Sylvester McCoy at the helm. Initially with the Sixth Doctors last companion, Mel (Bonnie Langford), and later with the much more popular companion Ace (Sophie Aldred), McCoy helped bring the series back from its short death. That wasnt enough to save the show, however. While the Seventh Doctor and Ace are both very fondly remembered, most of the stories in the McCoy era sucked and sucked hard. The Happiness Patrol, Time and the Rani, and Paradise Towers are remembered as some of the worst stories ever aired during the original series run. But there were some diamonds in the rough, and surprisingly, Ive found five that were surprisingly good. Given that there were a total of only twelve McCoy stories, thats actually a much better ratio than one might expect. Lets have a look at those five!
