Best Season 5 Serial?

Fury from the Deep. Pretty silly, especially the resolution, but I've always enjoyed the recon.
It's definitely not Tomb! Not saying it isn't epic TV, but it's not the greatest story.

Web by light years. Ice Warriors is cool, Snowmen and Wheel look good, Fury doesn't exist, Tomb is a bit iffy and Enemy is very overrated and quite boring to me.

I'd readily trade Tomb for a night with Bonnie Langford, that's for sure.

Both Tomb and Web are tied as my favorite Troughton serial, but if I had to choose one, I would go for Web as it has a more solid script and direction and the scenes with the Yeti still give me the creeps.

Tomb.
Web of Fear is great, and is very iconic. But the Moonbase/Tomb Cyb's just hypnotise me.

Although I voted for Web, I find Tomb iminently charming and nostalgic, and infinitely more entertaining than any of the New Who Cybermen stories. Troughton is utterly brilliant in it, it’s rather well directed, the scene where he comforts Victoria in episode 3 is one of the finest character moments in Who history (putting the ‘emotional’ scenes of pure maudlin in New Who to shame), and although I recognise its flaws (of which there are quite a few), there’s a certain hypnotising nature to it, as Ronnie points out. Oh, and it also features some brilliantly evocative, atmospheric and haunting music:

I encountered a FB Doctor Who group populated by New Who fans a few months back, who were all rating the iminently fucking dull ‘Rise of the Cybermen’ higher than Tomb. To hell with that- there’s no charm or wonder to ‘Rise’ at all.
