376397 2005-07-28 22:15:00 Sorry but this Dr Who IS tripe.

The doctor looks like he's high on pills most of the time running around saving the world with the most stupid grin on his face "Oh look, here we are about to be killed by aliens, isn't it FUN"

The foam aliens and the crappy graphics are hangons from the 60's that I would think we have all grown out of.

I was watching it last night and it occured to me that the actors must be really good, because the plot, script, stage, etc is so appallingly BAD.

Why reinvent a 1960's progam and still use the same level of technology. Its lame. I grew up with Dr Who, but I have grown beyond it, there are far superior si fi programs made nowdays.

You mus be joking!!! Same level of technology? Have you looked at any old Dr Who recently? I have - a lot of it. I enjoy it immensely but let me tell you there is absolutely no comparison betwee the FX/Technology used by the Beeb for the old Dr Who, from 63-89 and that which is used for this new Dr Who. Given the budget the BBC has, compared to US networks, I think they've done a great job.

I think I might have to add a section into the PressF1 rules: "No criticism of Dr Who will be tolerated".

376398 2005-07-28 22:19:00 I loved Dr Who when I was little, but I cant say the current Doc has the same charisma as the one I always watched 25 plus years ago. (Baker?) Nyuuji (5460)

Yeah, well it's hard to come close to Tom Baker - the longest running Dr and the benchmark against which any Dr must be measured ....

376401 2005-07-28 22:46:00 pctek - On Wednesday Dr Who admiited he got Sky on the Tardis monitor so he could watch the football. Presumably he doesn't pay for it. Dally (6292)
