Not paticularly bothered to be honest. Unless I play the next Doctor Who after I accidently walk into the rehersals while cleaning up after Patrick Kealty at BBC London and start performing an impromptdue performance of MacBeth due to having consumed too many of Patrick's dead skin cells as he shed them prancing about the BBC...
...The hell you looking at me like that for?
I'm not too bothered about the new series.
I watch the old episodes because they're so freaking hilarious.
What the British humour? But knowing you, you're talking about the FX.Quote:
freaking hilarious.
You forget, that classed as "special effects" back then, and people believed it. It WAS Scary because people were actually bothered by the creatures. It was done in a way that seemed real, but also was very eccentric. It wasn't too heavy (Star Trek) but wasn't too jokey (Red Dwarf...Which I like).
You forget, the shows golden period (Tom Baker and Peter Davison was from Early 70s to Mid 80s). That was about 20 years ago.
Okay, so let me see if I got the last two episodes right.
A spaceship crashes into Big Ben one year in the future. Only it's not a real space ship, it's a genetically modified pig who's been taught to crash into monuments by other aliens. The Prime Minister goes missing, and so partliment is replaced by fat people who fart a lot. These are the aliens who taught a pig how to be a kamikaze space boar. The aliens want to blow up the Earth so that they can sell it for starship fuel. As the aliens are killing a bunch of people, the Doctor, realising that their farts smell like bad breath, figures out that vinegar will make them explode. Meanwhile, Rose's boyfriend hacks into the Navy website, and uses it to launch a missile at 10 Downing Street. Rose, realising that door frames can withstand missile explosions, saves everyone who's important's life as the whole of 10 Downing Street explodes, killing all the aliens who've decided to gather there for some reason.
Okay.
Yeah, that's about it alright. But "some reason" = the phone call from the UN. :D
Heh-heh, Doctor who little...
