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!
