Prime in NZ showed some of the early b/w stuff too. As a
kid I remember being terrified at the time it first started. And
noticed an intensity in the old stuff (cheesy acting -William
Hartnell fluffed lines all over the place - and effects aside)
that wasn't there in the new series

One of the first series had a plot line about cavemen, which
I felt distinctly uncomfortable watching in 1964 and looked
forward to seeing it again for the first time since then. It was
creepy to begin with, but the illusion was soon busted when
I saw that the head caveman was played by the actor who
was later Cap'n Baines from The Onedin Line ;-((

Ooo arrr

Back then I watched them sometimes with the boy next door
and remember us both saying the title of one episode "Crisis"
at the same time

Except he said "Crisses"

Still liked the old Dalek episodes though, they were sick as,
and the horrible swamp in the Roy Castle film too

Kind of given up on the new ones. Too many plots involving
mind control and humanoid monsters who can't seem to run
