Dr Who?

**Riff Raff** · 8th July 2005, 07:38

So what did people think of the new Dr Who series?

They've kept it pretty true to the original series - low budget special effects, silly story lines, and lame humour. Bit of a larf tho!

Fucken loved it. The whole thing.

Pissed myself start to finish, but then, you know that.

I was more than pleased with it......

**riffer** · 8th July 2005, 07:46

Yeah. I guess it will become a Thursday night staple.

Just cheesy enough to still be cool.

Awesome - quite edgy too. Been a Dr Who fan since the first one with William Hartnell, which gives my age away I guess

A mate sent me this series on disc and all of them are superb.

Looks like the boys have found a way to get the TV turned on for an hour on thursdays.It was pretty cool I thought,as mentioned...cheezy and low budget keeping to the original,be a shame to see it turn into a 21st century remake.The web search was a good touch,but I kinda hoped as the geek turned the history of the Doctor back through time we'd see all the old Doctors,after all,the whole reason it kept going was that the physical appearance of the DR didn't matter.

I thought it was better than expected... Vicki didn't demand I turn to the Antiques Roadshow - high praise....

Here I was thinking 'LOST' was bad.

Really really disapointed with 'Doctor Who'! Maybe it will get better next week.

I seem to remember saying that about 'LOST' too!

I've seen all the Doctors and I must admit I was pretty impressed. Still maintained that sense of irreverence that it always had.

I thought that the new chap was excellent. Seemed like a mix of the Tom Baker, and Peter Davidson characters. Even my teenage boys enjoyed it!

I was really disappointed..... that I missed it.

I caught only the last few minutes (which were incomprehensible) as I was busy booking accommodation for our vacation next week (attempt number 4, after booking and cancelling 3 others destination....)

But the end was so good - she didn't go,and the TARDUS dissapeared....then he came back and said...''it travels in time too''

What would you do? I'm pretty sure I'd of done anything to beat her to the door!

If it helps he's already quit (end of the first season). Didn't want to be typecasted. Which is good, the changing doctors is an intengral part of Dr. Who. Although it was never ment to be, it is.

Personally I was pleasantly surprised, when I first saw it. Most of the feedback from the hardcore who'ites has been positive.
