I thought I’d make another best story poll just to pass the time (it’s been a very lazy day for me), and following on from my season 7 poll is season 8. What would you guys say is the best of Pertwee’s second year?

Which is the best season 8 story?

I know that it's not loved in this forum, but I utterly adore The Daemons and is easily in my top 5 favourite Pertwee stories. I also love The Mind of Evil as well, and I find Colony in Space underrated as well. The Claws of Axos is underrated as well, barring the Doctor's somewhat out-of-character moment in Part 1, and Terror of the Autons us good, but I find that the editing is too jarring and weirdly paced for me to fully appreciate.

I love The Daemons too! I really don’t know how someone can hate a story with lines like this ‘The soul is a very dated concept. Addressing the matter existentially...’ Delgado really was brilliant, I must say.
I never got why Axos gets ignored either- I love its psychedelic look myself. Terror is great fun too (if a little over-reliant on crap CSO- Holmes’ script is high quality, however), and I find Colony to be an underrated and astutely realised script from Malcolm Hulke, even if the story is a little too long. Though my favourite of the season is probably Mind of Evil, although I need to think further on this. Needless to say, seasons 7 and 8 are my two favourites from Pertwee’s time, though 7 ultimately reigns supreme.

Terror of the Autons by some distance as it's in my Top 3 favourite Pertwee stories.
A great season though. Mind of Evil would be second.
