*** And The First Doctor's second serial, ''The Daleks'', is seen as where the show really took off. As opposed to the rather dull first serial involving Cave Men. |

** The little girl in "Day of the Moon" being forgotten about only to {{spoiler|find herself sick and dying in New York}} could be bad enough, until you realise {{spoiler|this is a young River Song ''and'' the baby Amy was pregnant with. It also leads into the attempted murder of the Doctor}}. |
