I think that’s a great bit of casting and I honestly can’t wait to see the show. Surely the Beeb will put a little extra effort into a show celebrating guilty delights of millions of Dr Who fans all over the world. Whatever you may think of the show at the moment, most have seen it in one form or another since 1962, Some of us oldies for most of that time.

I wonder if it will be a bit of a documentary, fly on the wall type of thing or will they just narrate it’s beginnings – many of the first episodes were lost! Will they pay homage to the people for instance, who wrote the theme tune (Ron Grainier and Delia Derbyshire) or the set designers, or the laughingly small budget that Dr Who commanded for it’s firth 20 years. Maybe they could explain why successive Dr Who’s have become softer and softer – William Hartnell was a cantankerous old git!

Ah whatever, I can’t wait!

I watched 1 episode a day to make it last, and I tried to not compare with  the modern Doctor Who I am familiar with.

I did like Tom Baker. The plot was pretty simple but the acting at times was like pantomime acting.  If they had a whole planet to fight over I didn’t understand why the Thal and Kaled domes were so close together but that was neccessary for the plot I suppose. Sara Jane was like a mumsy bossy children’s TV presenter type. I suppose that was what passed for an  independent  woman back then. She fell over a lot.  I didn’t know what Harry was supposed to be.

The Davros character and Nyder the security chief were brilliant nasty characters. I actually dreamed about Davros  one night after watching  episode 3 ! Making Davros half a Dalek was a fantastic idea.   

I cannot knock the special effects really because of the decade. But some things were awfully silly, like Harry putting his foot in the giant clam and Tom Baker  with the polyfoam rock.

Just can’t wait for the season finale……

Congrats all around are in order….this time around the stories are so much better than last year. We can only hope that these high standards are kept till the very end of the season. 😀

As for Torchwood though,I thought it was very dull and just too childish in its attempt to be adult,season two can not be any worse,but im not hanging out in anticipation for it.

It’s a common mistake.

Sex, on the other hand, is a different matter.

btw.. the comments on the front page news are also riddled with porn.
