Doctor Who has always been seen as a cheap alternative to the big bucks of hollywood features, Others say Kitsch, I say crap. It's a fashion and it'll die like all fashions, just because they've got a pretty boy to play the doctor does not detract from the fact it's cheap, not only is it made cheap but it looks it and I for one am of the opinion that should not be applauded. I grew up on Tom Baker when it wasn't about sex. |

It's not about sex now and Tennant isn't just a 'pretty boy'. I'm really into Doctor Who now and i couldn't get into it when Christopher Eccleston did it (which is when i first watched it) despite him being a local lad. I think Tennant brings something different to the doctor, shows his intellegence, you instantly like the guy and yet there are still mysterious things about it. I for one can't wait for the new series, even if it does have the dreaded Catherine Tate in it! |

David Tennant ?? the Pretty boy from Paisley who has already dropped his accent, he's playing the whole fucking thing... The whole clean cut and packaged item, there's a team of PR advisors behind that.
The Doctors have always been mysterious, hence getting virtually unknowns to play them, that I think may have been the problem with Eccleston while a fine and very accomplished actor far too well known to be a Doctor.
Basically it's turned into Buffy !! |

In the literal sense, I agree with you as doctor who is definitely a cheap show, considering the low production budget…however, that is as far as I will go. It is utterly subjective of you to dub it as a bogus, sordid version of the “ good old days” when Tom Baker took that lead role…I am in position to tarnish the good name of that era, as first of all, I know little about it and secondly I am sure that it is every bit as enticing to watch. What I will say is that I believe it is wrong of you to make the presupposition that the only reason doctor who is appealing to the general public is because we watch it for the “sex”…that is hardly an apt reason…as it is a family show and the creators specifically tailored it to cater for all different types of people…adults and children alike…hardly an adequate ingredient for sex appeal…
Finally, I would also like to point out that the show is currently the flagship programme of the BBC and many many many people watch it week in week out…if it is taken on a completely statistical basis…I doubt it can be all that shite…

Totally disagree, i don't think he's playing on anything. He's not flaunting anything about, he's an actor and he's playing the Doctor. You're not a fan of the show, tis fair enough..but it hasn't turned into Buffy! I'd never watch anything that sh*te! Doctor Who is very deeply written, there's loads of things you can miss and all the series connect together, its amazing what comes out.
Maybe Eccleston was too well known, maybe i didn't like him because he played on the odder sides of the doctor. I just wasn't conviced by him sadly. |
