After my full series watch through, I've put together a list of guilty pleasure Doctor Who stories.
These are stories that are either 1) rated poorly by the Doctor Who fandom but I really enjoy, 2) stories that I ranted poorly but really enjoyed, or 3) have aspects that are widely mocked but I love. I'll try not to count stories that are rated above a 7 by the fandom that I am even higher on (like Warriors' Gate, Kinda, The Haunting Of Villa Diodati) with one notable exception.
(formated as Story (my score / fan score): reason why)
The Chase (7.9 / 6.6):
I adore the campy and just flat out wacky vibe of this serial. From the companions dancing to the Beatles on the Time-Space television to the Daleks fighting Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, and a Banshee and LOSING. Just so much fun. Pure 60's nonsense.
Monster of Peladon (6.6 / 5.3):
Anyone noticing a pattern? I love camp. I love wacky designs. I love off the wall ideas and bizarre design. I love Alpha Centari. Is this story good, oh g-d no. Did I have fun? You bet.
Invasion of the Dinosaurs (8.0 / 7.5):
Only because people love to hate the rubber Dinosaurs in this episode, but I absolutely adore them. I'm a sucker for kinda crappy practical effects, like, that's why I'm watching this show. I ordered the lemonade!
More under the cut since this is a long post
Image of the Fendahl (8.1 / 5.8(!)):
How is the story not more embraced as a near-classic by the fandom? I'll never know. It has fantastic direction, acting (even from the guest cast which was a rarity in classic Who at times), tone, atmosphere, and vibes. The story is a little derivative of, say, The Daemons, and it has a slightly slower pace with more quiet scenes (though that's a positive for me), but that's really it.
Black Orchid (7.8 / 6.5):
I tended to be higher on shorter serials that felt right for their length and didn't overstay their welcome, and this is that kind of story. Was it amazing? No. Did we get a few fun moments in a non-scifi story? Yeah.
Timelash (4.0 / 4.2)
This is one of the worst episodes the show has ever done, but at least it's the fun kind of bad. It's just so out there and takes so many chances, I kind of commend it for that. It's in that So Bad It's Good territory for me.
Paradise Towers (7.4 / 6.4):
This was camp from the lens of the late-80's. The aesthetics and tone are like a surrealist dream. I think Happiness Patrol is a better version of this story, but you really can't top the neon crab eyes, the roving girl gangs in bright colors, the Monty Python style farsical parody of fascism, or the evil lesbian cannibal grandmas.
New Earth (7.3 / 6.1)
This might be nostalgia talking, but I love this episode. Tennant and Piper are delightful. The cat nurses are so much fun. AND CASSANDRA MY BELOVED. I know 10's first season was rough, but man I loved this.
The Halloween Apocalypse (8.0 / 6.6)
I can could put A LOT of 13's episodes on here, because I was higher on a lot of her episodes (Eve of the Daleks is another I could have chosen here), but I'll pick this one because I was just delighted the whole way through. Big ouppy! Dan's house shrinking! A Nitro-9 reference! And it's set on the best day of the year, Halloween!

I think the cold open for Power of the Doctor probably is the best cold open of 13s era but honestly the cold open of series 13 - flux just gets me in my feels more. With them upside down bickering like an old married couple about if their situation was or wasn’t the Doctors fault, just makes me smile no matter how many times I watch it. Those are totally the vibes I love most between Yaz and the Doc. Yaz’s realism and frustration against the Docs optimism and obliviousness.

Doctor Who: One Small Change to Flux
This idea has been bugging me for two years now, so now you have to see it. Imagine:
e01: Halloween Apocalypse The Doctor has a vision, we don't see what it is. Naturally, she doesn't tell Yaz anything. Since that vision she starts acting strange: says random things, starts running away, calls Yaz an Ood a couple of times. At one point she urgently, like her life depends on it, sonics at... nothing (I imagine this particular shot taking place on Dan's street). It's not a burst, it's a gradual thing throughout the episode. It ends when the Flux finally hits the TARDIS at the end of e01.
------------------------
e05: The Survivors of the Flux Swarm and the Doctor have a huge discussion about morals.
Swarm: But then again, you wouldn't understand. How could you? How could you possibly comprehend the raw force of time?
The Doctor: I'm a Time Lord. Try me.
Swarm: (laughing) Time Lord... Your people, for all your talks of timeys and wimeys, are still such *linear* creatures. I wonder what it'd be like for you to truly experience time. Just... a touch...
He lightly touches the Doctor's temple. She screams in agony.
--------------------------
e06: The Vanquishers The Doctor is in... the TARDIS?
Yaz: Doctor! Doctor! Have you seen this? It's like the TARDIS is... leaking.
We've seen this already.
The Doctor sonics the leak fluid -- suddenly back she's on the Division station, soniccing around. No signs of Swarm. The station is falling apart.
The Doctor: What? Where is he?
She gets up and starts running sporadically, looking for an exit or a way out.
Yaz: Doctor! Where are you going? What's going on with you?
They're in Liverpool.
---------------------------
For a chunk of this episode (and e01) her timeline's folded on itself. She's experiencing two periods of time simultaneously.
For the rest of the episode, we see her irregular behavior in e01 make sense in e06 events. If the crew decides so, the two episodes could be timed just right in the editing so the episodes can be watched side-by-side, synchronized.
Maybe she's getting hints on what to do in e01 from the e06 events. This does require serious planning, and maybe one day I'll delve into writing it.
---------------------------
e06 epilogue. The Doctor and Yaz finally have a heart-to-heart. The Doctor has her hands behind her back, casually leaning back on the console.
The Doctor: I want to tell you everything.
Yaz: I'd like that.
Yaz leaves the console room to show Dan around.
The Doctor makes sure she's alone, then looks at her hands. She was right -- it's already started. Faint golden glow. She doesn't have much time.
She shakes her hands until the glow is gone. She won't tell Yaz until it's too late.
------------------------------
Also I feel setting this inevitable timer sets a better tone for the specials. Maybe the Doctor's initially happy to be stuck in a time loop with Yaz until she realizes what's going on.
Plus, the time itself wearing the Doctor down is an infinitely cooler cause of regeneration than the Master randomly shooting her.
---------------------------------
Bonus: The Power of the Doctor
The Master: I'm going old school, Doctor. A tribute to our elders. Do you remember the ultimate sanction for breaking our laws?
Pause.
The Master: Forced regeneration. They even did it to you once, didn't they? Well, maybe more than once, who knows? Not you.
The Doctor: You don't have the technology. The power requirements alone would be... colossal!
The Master: Oh, absolutely. Even a whole Cybermoon wouldn't cover it. Unless! The subject is on the brink of regeneration already!
The Doctor looks terrified. The Master is studying her reaction closely.
The Master: Yes. You know I'm right. I can see you doing the calculations in your head already. Don't bother. Already ahead of you.
---------------------------------
And now the whole plot happens because the Doctor was too stubborn to regenerate. It's her own character flaws biting her in the ass! Like fiction is supposed to function!
