Six-part Classic Who serials . . .

whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

No, let me rot here. There's more of them coming up. If I expire I won't have to watch any more of them.

I thought of hunting that one down to use, but Hannibal waiting ominously with murder in his heart seemed to equally fit the mood.

Yes, Hannibal seemed more... suitable for your mood, I agree. (What I have gleaned from your comments, which are obviously only part of the story.)

I guess Colony from Space wasn't bad. I was enjoying it for at least three episodes, lots of meaty stuff about colonization and resource exploitation and unscrupulous companies, etc., etc., but *tears face* I have yet to see a six-parter that merited the running length. The most I can say for them is that some of them would make a really good and pacy four-parter rather than the usual slightly anemic and padded-out four-parter.

At least in the Tom Baker years they confined themselves to one six-parter a season. You could brace for it and recover again afterwords.

Found the perfect gif. :)

That episode's just the right metaphor for so many things.

I know Four had the longest run, but Three is five seasons. That's only a slightly smaller mountain. And it's made of bigger boulders, so to speak ; )
