Classic vs. New: The Doctor Who-Off
Modern Who has been going on for quite some time now; 19 years, 7 Doctors (or thereabouts; depends on how you count them), and 14 series/seasons again now I guess. 154 stories, by the official count, and the Christmas special will make 155.
155 is also the number of stories in the classic series, from An Unearthly Child to Survival.
So, in order to commemorate this moment of equilibrium in a very messy continuity, I'm going to be doing polls on it. For the next several weeks, starting tomorrow, I'll be putting up 13 polls per week, pitting Modern Who stories against their classic counterparts in the numbering order; Unearthly Child vs. Rose, The Daleks vs. The End of the World, etc., all the way up to Survival vs. Joy to the World (plus some bonus bits to help round out that last set of 13 because the math wasn't quite mathing. Just go with it.)
And through this highly objective and not at all arbitrary methodology, we will determine once and for all whether modern or classic who is better. (Only kidding obviously, but it should be a fun time regardless!)
