Nightmare in Silver gives me the best Cybermen in years and Matt Smith playing chess against himself, then buries both in a theme park.
The Crimson Horror drops the Paternoster Gang into a Victorian model village run by Diana Rigg at full tilt. I give it 4/5.

Cold War thaws an Ice Warrior aboard a Soviet submarine in 1983 and leaves the Doctor with no TARDIS. Tense, tight and old-fashioned.
