# Early red dwarf was about fart gags and saying smeg every few minutes
surely that's aimed at 11 year olds?

# but it was 'adult' humour
rather than 'the queen's nose: in space'

# queen's nose in space?
that's a phrase I am unaware of :D


I'm not saying Doctor Who is good, 98% of it is shit, but there are gleaming lights (like the Scarecrow one) that are close to decent MR James style BBC scifi, or the other stuff that shat us up as kids.
That's what I want, not heat magazine referencing pop culture shite - erm, Red Dwarf, Coronation Street...??

# the key phrase there was 'that shat us up as kids'
you are no longer a kid
doctor who is as shit now as it ever was, but you've grown up
little kids that it's aimed at are as shitted up by it as you were

# no, there are still bbc sci fis that unnerve
MR James stories, Quatermass, etc

that's what Doctor Who should strive for, less is more moments, let people use their imaginations. Too much tv is all abouit showing everything.

I don't think I'm getting my point across. TV people have lost track of the art of storytelling

# anything goes on TV these days as long as it's got background music
One of the reasons I hate TV, even wildlife programs are full of rubbish music

and it is getting on my moobs.
