Sweet 16 The Second Part

The Sweet 16 shall become the Elite 8 by the end of this post.  No sense dilly dallying let's get this convoy trucking!

Title: Genesis of the Daleks  Seed: 1  Doctor: Tom Baker  Companions: Sarah Jane and Harry Sullivan  Enemies: Nyder, Davros, and the Daleks  Writer: Terry Nations  Director: David Maloney  Producer: Philip Hinchcliffe 

VERSUS

 Title: The Dalek Invasion of Earth  Seed: 5  Doctor: William Hartnall  Companions: Susan, Barbara, and Ian  Enemy: The Daleks  Writer: Terry Nations  Director: Richard Martin  Producer: Verity Lambert

*Disclaimer: This was the first time in the tournament that I had to do a re-watch of both stories to come up with a winner and even then it was still an agonizing decision to make and in the slimmest of margins yet in the contest: 

  WINNER: GENESIS OF THE DALEKS

 

Title: Tomb of the Cybermen  Seed: 3  Doctor: Patrick Troughton  Companions: Jamie and Victoria  Enemies: Cybermen, Eric Klieg, and Kaftan  Writers: Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis  Director: Morris Barry  Producer: Peter Bryant

VERSUS

Title: Spearhead From Space  Seed: 2  Doctor: Jon Pertwee  Companion: Liz Shaw  Other Characters: The Brigadier  Enemies: The Nestene Consciousness, Channing, and the Autons  Writer: Robert Holmes  Director: Derek Martinus  Producer: Derrick Sherwin

WINNER: THE TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN

 Title: City of Death  Seed: 1  Doctor: Tom Baker  Companion: Romana II  Other Characters: Duggan  Enemy: Scaroth  Writers: David Fisher, Douglas Adams and Graham Williams under the collective pseudonym of "David Agnew"  Director: Michael Hayes  Producer: Graham Williams

VERSUS

Title: The Happiness Patrol  Seed: 13  Doctor: Sylvester McCoy  Companion: Ace  Enemies: Helen A, and the Kandy Man  Writer: Graeme Curry  Director: Chris Clough  Producer: JNT

  

Again I had another instance of where I had to do an emergency re-watch on both stories in order to make a decision.  This one was not as difficult of a decision to make after the re-watch and the writing was on the wall as City of Death barely beat Logopolis in the last round and The Happiness Patrol a 13 seed had left a path of destruction in it's wake.  So with that in mind:

  

WINNER:  THE HAPPINESS PATROL

Title: Vengeance on Varos  Seed: 14  Doctor: Colin Baker  Companion: Peri  Enemies: Sil, Quillam, and The Chief Officer  Writer: Philip Martin  Director: Ron Jones  Producer: JNT

VERSUS

Title: Earthshock  Seed: 2  Doctor: Peter Davidson  Companions: Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan  Enemies: The Cybermen and Ringway  Writer: Eric Saward  Director: Peter Grimwade  Producer: JNT

WINNER: EARTHSHOCK

Give us a couple of days to grieve the loss of Colin Baker and William Hartnall from the competition and we will be back at it with the Elite 8 matches.  Things could get ugly!
