I'll take Epic. I think I could probably find more to say about this episode than any other. I've had a strange relationship with this one over the years! It was my very favourite when I first saw the series in the early 80's when I was a teenager, then I remember being very disappointed when I eventually saw it again 11 years later on cable. That's what placing something on a pedestal for 11 years without seeing it will do! I've watched it on VHS several times over the years in a sort of neutral zone. Having watched it recently on the restored dvd's I fell in love with the madness of it again. Not my favourite of season 5 yet, but about 7th and rising! :D Rich.

Just beat me to it :) I was just thinking I should really take Murdersville as my second choice -
as I'll never get another chance to write on my favourite episode of series 5.
