Whooooo!

Just watched "Rose" and "The End of the World" with my nieces, and they liked it! Though T found "Rose" a bit too scarey and hid her head during the violent bits.

Since I have a day off tomorrow, I promised them we could watch an Old School Who adventure. I was thinking Tom Baker, but what adventure do y'all think would a good introduction to Old School Who?

Depends.
Want to scare them? Go for "Stones of Blood" - this is most commonly considered one of the scariest Who stories from the 80s
Want to entertain them? Go for "Robot" - its got some sappy scenes with the robot that appeal to children
Want to educate them? Go for "Remembrance of the Daleks" - the Doctor is quirkily different and his relationship with Ace is almost platonic in this story, thus it can show to them how dramatically the Doctor changes when he regenerates

No, don't want to scare them -- not when T found Rose too scarey.

I was considering Robot also, since it's the first Tom Baker one.

P.S. I love that you're using icons from me, but please could you credit me in your icon comments? That way other people can find the icons if they like them too.

Sure. I don't really know how to do the link though, which is why I never just put your name there to begin with.

And I'm going to take this opportunity to beg you to make a 3rd doctor icon again. Something where he looks properly annoyed and text saying "Back off man. I'm a scientist."

The name alone is fine. Thanks.

And I'm still behind on my icon-making.
