The Answer is Paradise Towers! I took way more screenshots then are in this post. Huge amounts of pictures of Red Kangs and Pex…

In three! (Guessed The Visitation for the first image. Didn’t know for the second and then recognised the sleeve instantly in three).

Well, you know, the second one had a foot in it…
Definitely one of these ones where everything was so iconic, keeping it difficult was hard. And, of course, I had to dedicate sections of the Bonus to the Red Kangs and Pex…

Three as well, the sleeve was a giveaway to me. LOVE this one

So do I. That’s why I took so many screenshots. And this is after narrowing them down.

I’m disappointed in myself, it’s time for a rewatch. First image, “oh that’s gotta be Visitation”, second image “nope”, third “Varos?”, fourth “well that’s not 6,” fifth “read the coin, maybe that will help. No? Idk, Paradise Towers?”, Bonus 1 “Yep, Paradise Towers” So I guess I got it in 5.

Took me three. Happy enough with that. It puts me in good company.
Yup, you can pin me down as a lover of this story. Much as I enjoy the Colin Baker era, it was plain to see that Saward and JNTs approach was running out of ideas. Post Saward, there’s a transition and it isn’t entirely smooth but it IS dramatic. Paradise Towers is the first example of something that feels new, fresh, vibrant and as genuinely inventive as Doctor Who should always aspire to be. I think it’s rather wonderful (despite the wrinkles).

Bear in mind that while sometimes I do these screenshots that turn out to be blatant giveaways, I’ve gotten rather better at identifying screenshots that are going to be difficult to place over the course of these, too.
And I was very carefully avoiding things that would be easy to identify. Though two was kind of a fun one, because on one side, that’s one of the cleaners with someone’s foot in it!
It rather turned into a bit of a tribute to Pex in the bonuses…

Thanks! And yeah, I left “Forum Games” off the subcategory, which mucked up finding it a bit…
