McGann's one-shot is considered to be the "marriage" episode between the Classic era and RTD's modern era. Which is to say, like all Who, it has some crap in it, but also some gold. The plus is that the budget is excellent (for 1996), MUCH bigger than the older stuff. The console room is the most elaborate and well-regarded version of the entire series, even out-classing the "organic corral" look. And, McGann is an excellent Doctor in his first outing. (opinion)

I am going to be frank. The low budget effects kind of mar the experience for me in the classic eps (only for the colored episodes. Black and white makes the low budget effects much more forgivable. Kind of like how exaggerated/unrealistic art styles compensate for the uncanny valley)


Did you see "TimeCrash" with Tennant and Davison together? As for the Classic episodes, which ones have you seen? Which Doctors have you been exposed to? What's your take on the older guys? 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...
