2) The 20th Anniversary
This is still perhaps the ideal celebration Doctor Who will forever chase—about as close as you were going to get to an Avengers-esque mashup of Doctors and companions. “The Five Doctors” is perhaps not quite as tight a tale as “The Three Doctors,” but its huge cast of familiar faces alongside the Fifth Doctor and his friends, and a return to Gallifrey to deal with Rassilon and The Master? It’s a scope quite unlike anything Doctor Who had done before, and wouldn’t do for a good many years later. It’s a little messy, yes, but it’s a good, fun, nostalgic kind of mess.
