'It's an incredible show on so many levels' "I'm a Donna Noble fan myself, so perhaps The Poison Sky? Lots of sarcasm, humour, scariness and the Doctor faces a horrible enemy who he, as always, still gives a chance to change their mind before defeating them," she said. Ms Keats says it is hard to pick a favourite episode as "there are so many fantastic ones". "The adventures and different planets and species were the biggest drawcard for me though. I have always loved travel." I loved how scary it was, but also how the Doctor would always find a clever way to overcome threats. "The show took my imagination as a child. "We're also going to try some fish fingers and custard again - we've had it before and it wasn't half bad! Jane Keats will be watching the Doctor Who special with her daughters. "We have ordered Doctor Who cupcakes and my youngest daughter, Kenepuru, who is 12, will be wearing her Fez and Sonic Screwdriver around," she said. Jane Keats will be watching the special with her daughters in the small Victorian town of Yackandandah. It's very atmospheric, especially considering the conditions it was made under." 'We're making fish fingers and custard again' "Seems suitably festive as a favourite for now, and it has some wonderful moments in it. "At the moment, it's probably An Unearthly Child - it was my first experience of Doctor Who back when the ABC started its big, long repeat season of the old episodes in 2003," he said. Like many fans, he struggles to pick a favourite episode, saying "it changes from time to time". There'll probably be between five or 10 of us at any given time." "I've always loved that it works better if you watch it communally as well, so it made sense to get a group of friends together over the weekend and watch one of the best stories from each doctor's time. "I wanted to try as much as possible to celebrate each era of the show, since it's been so different from Doctor to Doctor over the years," he said. Sydney resident Max Wilkie will be gathering with friends for a marathon of past episodes before Sunday's special. Max Wilkie will celebrate the anniversary with a Dr Who marathon. A lot of people have only watched the new ones, but the old classics are my favourite." 'It works better if you watch with friends' "They need to give a few shout-outs to the classic episodes. "I want to see more of a classic doctor," he said of his expectations of the special.
