In 1984, you could exterminate a Dalek by pushing it out of a 2nd storey window.Since the 3rd season of the new series of Doctor Who ended, Helena and I have been borrowing the old series from the library. Our selections are made in a haphazard fashion — in this sense I'm revisiting it the way I saw it in my youth, and Helena is experiencing it for the first time much the way I did: randomly, but memorably.
A current favourite: "The Resurrection of the Daleks." I marvel at the seeming ease with which the fearsome Daleks are disposed (see in particular this clip, through to about 1:39).
We're glad to know Davros now, as he's rumoured to be returning.
And we'll be scouring the web this weekend for a glimpse of the 5th Doctor.
See also Ed's impression of "The Caves of Androzani."

Like so many kids (?) my age, the fourth Doctor has always been my favorite. I think because the first couple of incarnations were a bit dark and even rather odd. Baker, though, was refreshing and entertaining and quirky in a way that everyone could appreciate.
