Good Points: Great Fantasy/SciFi Mixture! Cult Series! Twisted story arcs over several seasons and a lot of consistency with old Doctor Who series.

General comments: Doctor Who contains maybe too much fantasy and not enough truely scientific for the viewers, contains some non-logical features (intentionally)

Spanning three decades, Doctor Who was one of those shows that never failed to pull viewers. With rickety sets, initially poor editing, over-acting from guest stars and low-budget special effects bordering on laughable (green painted bubble-wrap was a favourite in the mid 1970's, and if you look hard enough in the old black and white ones you can see camera shadows on walls and even badly hidden boom microphones hovering above actors), somehow, it outlived the expectations of everyone.

There seems to be too many episodes set on earth in the period 1700 - 2015. I would like to see more alien planets and cultures. I also feel I have seen ...

Dr Who was naff in the '70s and '80s and it's naff now. How can anyone find a giant dustbin with one arm the scariest thing in the universe? There's a reason that Christopher Eccleston was playing the Doctor like a goofy children's entertainer - even he couldn't take it seriously.

The effects were poor, but it didn't look deliberate. The acting was OK but the dialogue was pretty lame and the scripts which were meant to frighten and teach were just pedantic.

Next time, hand it over to the ...
