Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin with Tom Baker [DVD] is the Doctor Who favorite we grew up seeing. It's great to be able to see these shows from way back, great viewing!

The previous story "Hand of Fear" saw the exit of Sarah Jane Smith (Elizabeth Sladen) as the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) is summoned to his home planet Gallifrey. The Deadly Assassin is the first time we see The Doctor flying solo with no companion(s). The very next story "The Face of Evil" introduced new companion Leela. A classic story that at the time was criticized for being to violent. This story also brings back the Doctor's arch nemesis The Master(who looks a little worn down). Not a good story to start as a new viewer as you may find yourself a bit lost due to continuity but a classic nevertheless.

If you've seen the Manchurian Candidate, you've seen this and know the story. The Doctor is framed for the murder of the president of Gallifrey. The way that the Doctor proves that he didn't do it is really creative. Not to mention that we get to see a great makeup/mask job for the main bad guy...which I won't spoil for those that haven't seen it.
