Hand of Death is special to me, but only because Sarah Jane is special to me.One of the better "let's just use this quarry" episodes, perhaps?

There's a few other Deaths and Deads and Undeads, but I can't think of any other Noun Of Deaths. (Trip Maker was thinking of The Hand Of Fear. And it's true, that hand was p scary. Even if Sarah-Jane was dressed as Andy Pandy to lighten the mood.)

I saw it lost in a twitter poll to The Christmas Invasion the other day, so maybe not.

even without the racism I always found it to be one of the weaker stories of the era and didn't get why everyone was so keen on it.

The Robots of Death is arguably the best Tom Baker story, possibly the best classic Who story.
