My favourite time in Doctor Who was between the Barry Letts & Phillip Hinchcliffe periods of the show. What's yours?

Well, I can't really answer for the producers question, since I really don't know much about any except RTD and Moffat.

But I have 2 seasons for my favorite Who run. The first one you most likely know is the Key To Time season. The other that ties it is "Series 4" that I like to call "The Donna Years". There were better scripts for Tennant in his run, and better in the past, but "The Donna Years" just was so enjoyable for me.

Thanks so much - I loved the Donna era, she was so much more suitable as a companion than Rose, very enjoyable.

The Key to Time, an excellent set of stories but the ending lacked a little bit of a punch but still very enjoyable:)

I love the 4th doctor and thus love that era but for me 7 is best and John Nathan Turner deserves a posthumous knighthood for keeping the show going as long as it did and don't forget it was John who created a series that fans loved so much they just carried on making it in book and audio form. I mean big finish may as well becalled the Nathan Turner continuation since apart from the 8th doctor all the Doctors are from John's era.

Thanks so much - I must admit i was'nt always the greatest of JNT fan's but there is no denying his tenure was certainly the most turbulent & colourful in the show's history. For me some of his production decisions created other problems for the show. Also to use Who actors for his own production company in panto was a little dodgy.

Big Finish would have worked anway, because there was always a market, it never went away:)

Hands down for me, WHO's finest era, 1963-2011, was Season 7 through Season 14. That's both the Letts-Dicks AND Hinchcliffe-Holmes eras. The absolute peak of that time was the "Sarah Jane" era in Seasons 11,12,13 &14.

My argument is that Barry Letts was key to the entire era, as it couldn't have happened without him. Barry chose Elisabeth Sladen & Tom Baker , trained Hinchcliffe, created the Master & the UNIT family, made great use of Robert Holmes, & saw that the viewers were 60% adult!
