P.S. I think Doctor Who fans should make recommendations when asked and I'm appalled at how @derian_the_imp was addressed, so if you're interested, watch Kinda & The Caves Of Androzani, they might not change your opinion of PD, but are absolute belters. I'd love to know you think

"All of them. You're a DW aren't you? You should be watching them all while the show's off-air. Don't wait for recommendations from people. Do it all off your own back. Another fan shouldn't be telling you this."
That's a demand.
It's not helpful. I've watched them all, but not in broadcast order. If no one had guided me & I'd watched Four To Doomsday or Terminus first. I might never have come back for more. Demanding that people watch them all without giving them a reason to want to is counterproductive.
