Seconding the recs for Keeper of Traken/Logopolis/Castrovalva (haven't seen Warrior's Gate yet), which are fantastic occasionally-dark occasionally-cracky
always bizarrely kinkyidea-based sci-fi. And for the Ribos Operation and The Pirate Planet, which are incredibly solid witty fun. I'd also add Genesis of the Daleks, which is the story that got me hooked on classic Who. The thing about Four is that whether or not he's your favorite Doctor, there are so many really great serials in his era that he'll always end up taking up a disproportionate amount of room on recs lists. :)I will also put in a giant plug for First Doctor era here, because there's something about it that's just magical for me. The format isn't fixed, the tropes haven't developed, they can do pure historicals like The Aztecs and weird experimental stuff like The Edge of Destruction and multi-setting quest stories like The Keys of Marinus and trippy sci-fi like The Sensorites (which btw is obliquely referenced a surprising amount in New Who). And there's never really need for a monster of the week, it's just about the joy and occasional terror of exploring. And... IDK, I think the thing that makes it magical for me is that everyone involved is trying so hard to sell it, and is putting their heart and soul into telling these incredibly creative stories and making you believe that their dinky low-budget studio is a petrified forest on an alien world. And you do believe it, because you want to.
Anyway. I've been watching One's first season in order, which is great for watching both the characters and the show develop, but really you could pick any of the serials listed above and watch it separately from the rest. People rag on the pacing of the '60s show, but TBH I've never been bored by a One serial and I have massive attention-span problems with Three era (early 70s).
(One, Four, and Seven are my Classic Who favorites. Sometimes I think the show does best when it's desperately trying to convince the Powers That Be not to axe it.)
