I have to say: the magic of Doctor Who. It's completely different now than it was in the 60s. Heck, it was completely different in the 80s than in the 60s. Heck, it was completely different in the 70s than in the 60s.
HECK. It was completely different in 1967 than it was in 1963. Doctor Who keeps regenerating into a new show every once in a while, and that's why I love it. There IS no "proper" Doctor Who in my opinion. All the eras are unique and great in their own right.
The New Series has been critisized & is seen as an embarisment. Ever since it started. But the Classics are considered unique, & recieve more & more praise the longer the new series makes a mockery of the show & a fool of itself. These are the scene's & the atmosphere that I will always remember Dr Who for. :)
Just perfect in every way. Hah! The complete opposite of the new Series!
@therealKINDLE I'll have to respectfully disagree. I don't think you can just make the blanket statement "New series is BAD. Old series is GOOD." I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who and I love both to death. The old series was and is amazing much of the time, but sometimes it just sucked. The new series sucks sometimes too, but other times it's just as great as Classic Who. Both have low points. Both have high points. Both are Doctor Who.
@Master1Saxon0 The Classics are groundbreaking, charming, creative, artistic, perspicaciously written, have delicate subtleties & flexible episode lengths, & has a sort of magic about them. The New series is everything that Dr Who is not. And instead of it being pioneered, crafted & created by talented, skilled & gifted geniuses, it's made by relatives of BBC brown noses & haven't the 1st clue as to what Dr Who is. You may just love everything with a Blue Box in, but don't tell me it's the same.
@therealKINDLE What's not "Doctor Who" about the new series? What does classic have that new doesn't? New Who can't really be groundbreaking because classic already broke the ground and new Who continues the story.

@jhibbitt1 There's also that wonderful scene on Sara Jane Chronicles when he's talking to Jo about how he has been watching over Jo for quite a long time even though she wasn't aware of it.
@OceanbornAngel He wasn't watching over her, that was the point of the scene; "I don't look back. I can'[t." He always remembered her, though, and he went to see her before he regenerated at the end of his life as 10.
@jhibbitt1 He actually watched this episode to prepare for the show. And then he called up Steven Moffat in the middle of the night to rave about it. Long story short, there's a reason that 11 acts a lot like 2.
I can just imagine, in some new Who episode or movie, where the camera slowly pans across the Tardis while the soundtrack of this conversation is running (esecially 1:02-2:02), with the camera stopping on the Doctor lying on a recliner, remembering this conversation. It would be a sweet, touching reminder of how many people and situations he remembers, all "asleep in his mind."
This is probably the most emtional and heart warming scene in the whole of Doctor Who. Especially as it's coming from one of the best Doctors and one of the greatest stories ever.
im wating for my copy of this episode to come through my door :D yeah , this has to be patricks most emotional scene ever , from what i have seen , and i remember watching the scene when the doctor is on his own promising victorias dying father that he would take care of her - and you could really see the emotion or hear the emotion in that 400 year old timelord... maybe matt smith can take on patricks suprising technique? none of the other doctors ever did..
this scene always stood out in my mind since i first watched Tomb of the Cybermen. Spikelilgirl is right, it is a very sweet bit of dialog between the Doctor and Victoria. Patrick comes off so thoughtful and warm as the Doctor here, though I do belive Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker both shared great conversation like this with some of their companions as well, such as Jo and Sarah Jane.
I loved this scene. It was so sweet. Patrick Troughton protrayed the Doctor like a friendly uncle or a father instead of some cold and calculating man like the others after him. Except David Tennant.
He varied; he could be warm at times, but on other occasions he just went and forgot about people because he got caught up in current events (Look at "Pyramids of Mars" for an example)
You're basically saying the new series is melodramatic and that's it's problem. Yes it's great to see the Doc having a love life, but it doesn't feel natural. This does, which is what makes it feel more real as well. What story is this from?
It is called Tomb of the Cybermen and for me it was fine when the Doctor did not fancy the female characters. He is an alien, not human. I can't see anything exciting in hat apart from just causing excitment to the female audience. I never liked before that part of fandom.
I find this rather chilling in some way - the Doctor is showing a somewhat sinister side to himself here....."...and I forget. And SO WILL YOU"

I always thought that Davison's and McGann's Doctors (When McGann appeared in the books and audios) managed to be kind to his companions as well.
