# ummm...
but doctor who is supposed to have crap scenery, and crap effects. Thats part of its charm. A high budget Dr. Who just wouldn't work.

But WOO to Tom's expression :) Love the eye movement.

# The last new Dr. Who
was kind of mid-budget wasn't it? Fairly pricey for TV, but then alot of that money was American wasn't it?

I wouldn't worry about the new one, the BBC doesn't spend alot of money on anything bu wildlife programs and "glamourous" ancient history documentaries.

# but it doesn't count

# I didn't hate it as much as most people seemed to have done
Then I was just so pleased to see McCoy die at the start, that it may have affected my view.

# I thought it was absolutely average
but then I'm not a big Dr. Who fan anyway.

# Atshly,
I thought Mc Coy was quite a good Doc, a sort of idiot savant. Hampered by shite scripts and effects.
