Just jumping in here - I really love a lot of old Who, but you have to be careful, as some of it is just...awful. I'd recommend 4th and 5th Doctors unflinchingly; try City of Death (Tom Baker, written by Douglas Adams), Logopolis (last Tom Baker series), Castrovalva (first Peter Davison series, and one of my favourites), Four to Doomsday (Peter Davison again), The Ribos Operation (Tom Baker again - this is the first of an actual plot arc that they did, and did well). It's often fun to watch the last/first series for a particular doctor, as that's when they tend to do interesting character things.
A friend of mine really loves Seven (Sylvester McCoy) and he is kind of charming - and if you want to see him being charming, watch Greatest Show in the Galaxy or Happiness Patrol (or even Dragonfire, which introduces Ace, the oh-so-eighties companion who likes to blow things up).
Hope that helps! Really, there's a lot to love in old Who.
