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?

How many 'Noun of Death' Dr Who stories have there been?

Seeds Of Death
Ambassadors Of Death
City Of Death
Robots Of Death

..so, four?

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.

over time i've come more and more around to androzani, i appreciate how really well-directed it is

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 19 February 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link

My top 5 are probably

Robots
Androzani
Mind Robber
Inferno
Pirate Planet
