I'm not the most observant of people - in fact, I'm Artistic, and am on the wrong forum - but even I have noticed the billions of fans of Doctor Thingy on this board. And so, in the interests of intergalactic harmony and for a miniscule fee, I offer the forum members of that persuasion the chance of a lifetime, or perhaps several regenerations: an opportunity to meet and romance the Whovian of your dreams!
Yes, you could be celebrating next year's Valentine's Day in the arms or metallic tentacles of the one you love. I will generously make all the matchmaking arrangements, simply by annoying the objects of your desires until they lose the will to live and agree to a date with you in a cafe in which I have no commercial or financial interests whatsoever. Shout-out to Steven's Cafe ltd. Anyway, all you have to do beforehand is reply here, telling the entire forum and the whole internet about your highly secret and private crush. So, what are you waiting for? Just look at these reviews from my satisfied clients:
'I'm suing you, you robbing git' - Mrs Ethel Pizza, Yorks.
'You set me up with my mum...' - Who fan, Glasgow.
'Leave me alone, you maniac' - The Master, space.
'Not a-bloody-gain...' - Q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶P̶o̶p̶e̶ ̶ Princess Sparkly, Sparkly HQ.
'Thanks to Steven's life-changing Dating Hair & Makeover Service, I'm a whole new person - previously, people said that I looked like a little old man; NOW they say I look like a little old woman' - Steven, Tardis Portakabin.

As this seems to be the Whovian thread... favourite stories?
Mine (in chronological order, not order of preference)
1) The Mind Robber
2) The War Games
3) City of Death
4) Warriors' Gate
5) The Caves of Androzani
6) Ghost Light
7) Human Nature/The Family of Blood
8) Heaven Sent
You may spot a preference for atypical and "difficult" stories, particularly those with some kind of void or realm outside of normal time and space. Also, eight stories rather than ten because I'm chronically indecisive and I can't pick another two stories out of about a dozen "second choice" possibilities.
That’s a handsome top 8. Love a lot of those choices.
I’d find a decisive top ten difficult. But definitely all time joint top for me is the Best A side and B side to regeneration ever made: Logopolis and Castrovalva.
After that… it would be a punch up between most of Seasons 18 and 19, (especially Kinda, WArriors’ Gate and Traken’ ) City of Death, Heaven Sent/Hell Bent, Androzani, and… oh I’ve run out of places probably.
Easier to do a bottom five!
