Brain of Morbius is A #1 best ep ever. Best scene in best ep is when the brain is accidentally dropped on the floor.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think I'd concur with a lot of that list. Though how anyone could regard Pyramids Of Mars as anything lower than recommended is beyond me.
I'd also thoroughly recommend The Romans. A pure historical but played as a comedy, with Derek Francis as Nero. I won't spoil anything, I hope, but the way the TARDIS crew separates and have their own adventures, almost but not quite crossing paths, is wonderful.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

You can't go wrong with the Hinchcliffe era, ie Tom Baker's first three seasons. That's essentially the golden period of the series. Not only recommended; more like required viewing.

I particularly love #115 (Logopolis) and #135 (The Caves of Androzani).
