The Awakening - I have a soft spot for this story, its its the first ever Doctor Who TV story I ever watched on live transmission (I think I saw one or both of the Dalek movies before). The story terrified me, with the "ghosts" and evil face emerging from the church wall.
It's a two parter - and because of this its really well paced.
It was broadcast at a time between two television worlds ; on the way out was the time a story could be slow paced as they was little risk of the viewer getting bored and looking for alternatives to watch, incoming was the time where programmes had to grab and hold the viewer for fear of them checking out the new ability to hop between tens (later hundreds) of channels for something else. This story finds itself between these two changes.
The two part decision was a production one rather than for viewing figures - the original script was deemed to thin to fill 90 minutes so we are left with a really well paced story. And for my money, within the top 5 Davison outings. Probably would not have been the case if it was delivered over 4 parts.
