Classic Doctor Who

Post Reply New Topic

I cant be the only one who likes the classic version, right? XD
DOCTOR WHO FTW XD

I think most Doctor Who fans enjoy the older shows. We just enjoy certain Doctor's more because that is who introduced us to the TARDIS.

I love the old and new series-started with the old series with Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker and forward-actually saw Jon Pertwee at a Sci Fi convention in the 90's-very nice,very elegant gentleman

I think that the pre 1990s, Dr Who is better than the modern Dr Who.

Yo.

I like the classic series just as much as the new series. Even though Ecclestone was the Doctor when I started watching in 2005, Tom Baker has become my favourite by far. The special effects may not have been fantastic but I think the story-lines were better.

I like both classic and new series. I used to watch the classic stuff every Saturday when I was young. I finished watching it just in time for the new stuff to start coming out.

Just as Sean Connery will always be James Bond, Dr Who will always be William Hartnell.

I feel after William Hartnell the BBC made the character into a bit of a Clown, like they did to James Bond when portrayed by Roger Moore.

I love the classic series. My favourite era is the Jon Pertwee years.

The eighties was horrible pretty much all the way through. The last series before it was canned was okay, but the show really did turn awful in that decade.

I grew up watching videos and repeats of classic Who so I've always had a strong preference for it. I do watch nu Who and there are certainly episodes that I would consider to be among the show's all-time greats (Human Nature, Blink, Dalek) but I generally find it less consistent than most seasons of classic Who.

I love the classic series and only like the new one.

I realise that an awful lot of that love results from nostalgia but I'd still rather watch the old stuff.

I can just about remember the last days of Jon Pertwee's run but Tom Baker was really my Doctor.

As I child I also loved the Target novelisations of the stories -anyone else remember those?

I was a big fan of the original series. I was on a Doctor Who message board in the years when tere was no original Doctor Who on tv. When they announced there would be a new series I was very excited. But I didn't like Christopher Eccleston, or Rose. So I waited for the next Doctor, and didn't like him either. Then came Matt Smith! But his stories were very hit and miss. I haven't watched the original series in ages. Might be about time to watch Inferno or The Mind Robber again. Two of my favorite episodes.

My fave Doctors are the first four and Matt Smith. My fave depends on the mood I'm in.

Don't blame story problems on the actors. That's the writer's/producer's error to deal with.

I've got the Mannequin Mania box set, with the Auton stories from Pertwee's era!

Just about to put it on now, and watch it with my dinner!
