The Dr Who Thread 3 3

[NewEnglandGothic]

Doctor Who was created as a production on a shoestring budget on taxpayers dollars. The show in the early years was never about trying to make the most outlandish effects. The show was about putting together a great story, superb actors, and music to deliver a show that is believable. ...

 

Mostly I'm lurking through this thread, but, superb actors? Isn't someone forgetting the frequent presence of OTT villains (some of whom I'm sure I remember twirling their mustaches on camera)? And that guy chewing scenery in those episodes?

 

; )

I liked the OTT villains. The Master was the (ahem) master of them all.

This was an underrated one that had absolutely superb character actors.

Mainly Susan Engel & Elaine Ives-Cameron.

They are in there, sprinkled throughout the series. You just got look for them.

That is so ridiculous. I can only assume that it was the link I posted to the Tom Baker story.

Well, I can't imagine that the Mods spend much time in this thread.

 

Maybe the Mods are the new Daleks

In other news - I watched the first two episodes of Class tonight and enjoyed them.

 

It's sort of Grange Hill meets The Tomorrow People meets Buffy - with a bit of gore.

This was rumored for a long time. I had read that BBC wanted a clean slate for the new show runner, so that may also mean a new companion in addition.
