Best Doctor Who Cliffhangers: The Seventh Doctor 

Always find it immensely funny that McCoys reaction to the great architect cliffhanger is literally that of the audience. God, that story is actually really fun

I never really noticed that the ending sting was changed completely in the McCoy era, it really adds to the already exceptionally unique feel of his years as the Doctor.

The Dragonfire cliffhanger has to be the dumbest in the series, he had no reason whatsoever to put himself in danger, except to create a cliffhanger.

"We play the contest again, Time Lord." gives me goosebumps every time I see it.

20:03 "and then we use them to eacape." "Oh, Ace, let me be horrible to you one more time!" 😂

3:32 this is the cliffhanger of time.

I love that first one, the music! The theme start fits it so well that they added a one of those 80s (snares?) On the next episode to go on the end of that tune

9:55 is probably my favourite Cliffhanger! That music just so unapologetically 80s!

The great and powerful florescent Cookie Monster!!

McCoy is just... one of a kind.

The greatest show in the galaxy cliffhangers were on point!

The one with mel at the beginning is so fucking funny

Mel's scream sounds like a whistle. It's actually impressive how high pitched it is. I can see why people find it annoying, though.

I love this so much!

God: Finn for the last time I haven’t interfered with your life McCoy: Don't tell him about the time lords and how you are really the other and also us the doctors Me: You are me!!😮

It's a pretty good list... But where the hell is the Master reveal at the end of Survival Part?!?!?

The last ever episode of the classic episode does it for me

12:35 what is that thing

Sylvester mcocoy gives a great profamce as the seventh doctor in every doctor who story the only thing that I don't like of the first half of his era is mell screaming in every doctor who story she is in not respect to boonie Langford back the way I love her as an actress and singer

the first few ones were mediocre

That moment when you basically recite the Ace baseball bat attack scene from memory.

0:15 That music is absolutely magical.

Very few cliffhangers can compare to the "OH SH*T" stairs moment in Remembrance (4:18) - or the spine-chilling creepiness of Curse of Fenric. "We play the contest again... *_Time Lord!"_* (19:01). They are GOATED cliffhangers, but there have been other great moments too, particularly in Greatest Show - which is strong across the board. I also love Morgaine's evil laugh when the Destroyer is summoned (13:40). So delightfully cheesy and creepy. Also, justice for the Kandy Man (8:10).

I think the part one of Time and the Rani cliffhanger should be up there as it's a great moment. The Remembrance Part One cliffhanger is my most watched Doctor Who moment ever - nothing will ever over take it! McCoy really did have some great cliffhanger - helped by some excellent scoring to ramp up the drama!

I think in most of doctor who history. The Sylvester McCoy Doctor who chlifhangers went real hard for how dark the 7th doctors persona was.

Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred have some of the best stories of Dr Who!

The music in this era is great.

The best cliff hanger was at the end of Survival....lasted for years...

Simon, you really need better company 😊

This brings back memories. This was the era I became a full fledged Doctor Who fan. Always strikes me, that the show, in it's last few years, became more down to Earth and mature? The last story broadcast, "Survival", was, in a lovely irony, a prediction of how the show would be when it came back nearly 20 years later in 2005. The last 3 years were the end, but also sowed, the seeds of A NEW beginning to come. The companions, settings and the way the show was written, had a major impact on the New Series which is now EIGHTEEN YEARS old this year. I'm sure RTD and Moffatt both watched these seasons and were influenced. I am SO PROUD, to say I saw these stories and was, as a young kid, mesmerised by the cliff hangers and the overall renewed quality. The BBC's excuses of the show being tired et el are utter twaddle. In an odd way, the last 3 years were ALSO, a return to THE FIRST 3 years: Working against the odds. Making the best of a limited budget. A Doctor who (pun intended) is a mystery. "Remembrance of the Daleks" is the story which should've been the 25th anniversary story because it is a masterclass in taking the show (and the Doctor and Ace) forward. What I LOVE about the McCoy era, as shown in "Remembrance", is that it cleverly tips the hat to the show's past to create new characters/monsters who are familiar and new? Such as the characters Group Captain Gilmore, Professor Rachel Jensen, Allison and Sgt. Mike Smith. All clearly meant to remind us of the original companions and the dear old Brig. And, finally it is brave enough to comment on the 60s from a 80s perspective? This was Doctor Who utilizing it's past and being completely up to date in a way it told it's stories and explored the themes. ACE! David

Those were the days. Especially when we saw that old joke about stairs totally demolished.
