Re: So I'm finally watching Classic Who...

It doesn't hurt to try the very first episode, An Unearthly Child. You don't really have to finish the rest of the kinda boring serial, but it's a nice intro to Ian and Barbara and you can see the origins of a lot of trademarks there.

There's also The Mind Robber, from Two's era with Jamie and Zoe. The entire script is powered by about a blizzard's worth of cocaine from start to finish, and it is so much fun. And I desperately want the TARDIS to get stranded there again sometime in nuWho.

From a New Who perspective, you might like Ghost Light, from Seven and Ace's era. The plot is...bizarre, to say the least, but it has a lot of focus on the Doctor-companion personal relationship and lots of character-motivation and background stuff for Ace, which are things Old Who tends to skimp on.

Oh, and Battlefield! Futuristic semi-steampunk alternate-universe Arthurian knights invading our universe to fight over Excaliber, with The Big Bang-level timey-wimey fuckery and UNIT being epic and the Brigadier coming out of retirement to kick some ass. Really, Seven's later era in general is a really nice transition from New to Old Who.

Terror of the Autons is from Three's era, and introduces both Jo Grant and the Master, which might interest you a lot from a backstory perspective after seeing the nu!Who Master.

You may or may not love City of Death. On the one hand, it's hilarious and features Four and Romana II romping around Paris and acting like they're about to rip off their clothes and start getting it on in the middle of the street. On the other hand, it's slooooooowwwwwww, especially near the beginning.
