Blink was a awesome episode. I have used it to convert at least 4 civvies into Whovians. However, I think Doctor Who is getting less and less scary and more and more dramatic/epic. Oh the other hand, I started watching DW when I was already 20 years old - I don't think Daleks are that scary to 20 year olds as they are to 8 year olds :)

I don't remember being scared by Daleks - but the giant maggots in "The Green Death" scared me silly.

Dito it was the cybermen and the macra terror that really scared me rather than the daleks.

BTW the BBC program on the early days of Dr Who is amazing and the ending is properly tear jerking (Hartnels last recoding and he looks across and sees matt smith)
