Firstly Urban it's great to see you back, this place is not the same without you
Secondly this journal is an amazing coincidence as about three months ago I decided to watch and read again every single Doctor Who story. Recently I picked up about 100+ novelisations of the TV series cheaply and decided to read and watch them at the same time and adding the ones that I don't have bit by bit. For example I'll read the Giant Robot novel and then watch the Giant Robot series, as the books quite often go into more depth than the TV series and then compare them.
Instead of starting in order, I decided to follow the novelisations release dates which started back in 1973, so most of the stuff that I've been reading and watching is the from the Jon Pertwee era. At the moment I've covered (using the novel titles here):
The Daleks, The Zarbi, The Crusaders, Auton Invasion, Cave Monsters, Doomsday Weapon, Day of the Daleks, The Daemons, Sea Devils, Abominable Snowmen, Curse of Peladon, The Cybermen, Giant Robot, Terror of the Autons and The Green Death .
I see that you've left Moonbase and Abominable Snowmen off your list, but I thought there was enough available to get an overall feel to rate both stories.
As for your list so far:
I always liked
Paradise Towers as it was Doctor Who at its tackiest, but I'll admit I'd be damned embarrassed to watch it with a non-Doctor Who fan.
Revenge of the Cybermen is a strange one, it was the long return of the Cybermen and the first Tom Baker season closer. It also came after the classic Genesis of the Daleks (possibly the greatest Who story) so it's a mystery why it was so bad.
Also no point in mentioning On the Buses and Blakey here, as I doubt any American readers will know what and who they are
