One trait that I think Doctor Who has maintained throughout its long run is that it is truly a family show. Every serial has something for everyone. For example, in "Invasion of the Dinosaurs," children are exposed to such educational topics as fascism, eugenics, and eco-terrorism, while their parents are kept amused by the silly animated dinosaurs.

The Doctor takes on ecofascists all the way back in 1974.
Interesting that this is the chosen quote for this serial on the official Doctor Who website:

I'm pretty sure we can all agree, Sgt. Benton is the real MVP of this episode.

Hang on I've seen that Doctor Who episode
(Of course at this time the Underground would have been called the Metropolitan Railway tunnels and only go as far as Baker Street, but I suspect the answer would still be no)

Doctor Who: Dinosaur
Favourite Episode: Invasion of the Dinosaurs (Specifically these dinosaurs)
Home Planet: Earth
Scary Factor: 0/10
My Personal Rating: 10/10 - I love them, there was a lot happening in this story but all I wanted to see was dinosaur, they're so fake, it's brilliant, they're perfection to be honest, pure perfection!
(Please don't take these too seriously, it's just a bit of fun)

Jon Pertwee in Invasion of the Dinosaurs. His usual reaction to seeing the Brigadier, I suppose.

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!
