Just curious for a new fan perspective. I expected as much with the lack of budget, of course. I think if you weren't exposed to it at an early age, or lived through it, the only thing it would have going for it (for modern fans) would either be the plots or the Doctor, himself...


We also grew up in the era of Land of the Lost and similar shows. Doctor Who wasn't really that much worse than everything else at the same time. The video medium in a studio production it what makes it look bad without the polish of filmed TV shows.
