As someone who has loved the Doctor for forty years and now more so
than ever, I have to say you have good taste.  It has quite simply
always been my favourite TV show.  And yes, the episode you mention,

really is scary stuff, even in the middle of the day.  In fact I think
the only one I was more scared at was when I was five.
