    I mentioned a bit ago that
    YouTuber Crispy Fry,
    disillusioned with Modern
    Who, had decided to try
    Classic Who.

    I enjoyed his take. His fresh
    gaze made me appreciate The
    Time Meddlers more.

    Twin Dilemma is not really liked by DW fans.

    Neither is Timelash.

    I find it surprising that there are people who call
    themselves Doctor Who "fans" have never watched anything
    from the Hartnell era...

    Or that a person in his fifties seems unable to use a DVD
    player properly! :-)

    The First Doctor's era is what set the show up. Knowledge
    of that era and its concepts are the basis for everything
    that came later... Everyone should watch those old episodes
    at least once. If all people had to judge "Doctor Who" on
    was the modern version of the show then they'd have missed
    the best thing about the show... its past!

    There's a lot of modern Who now -- two decades' worth. I

    I agree that any real fan should at least sample the old show,
    even if the newer episodes are preferred. Similarly, someone
    who likes modern Trek should probably watch an episode or two
    of TOS, even if it's not the viewer's favorite thing.

    Hmm, let's see here. It's an anagram of "timelash," and it

    I suppose. But I can't see why a "serious fan" wouldn't have
    felt the need to check out the old eras of the show during
    those twenty years. Everything has a beginning. You'd think
    people who get into a TV show would want to know how it all
    began.

    I find it delightful that he was so into the classic show

    I'm sure it happens. There's a lot more going for 1960's Doctor
    Who than that though. The story telling was actually quite good
    for the time, and I'm sure the effects were pretty good for
    television in the 1960's too.

    I enjoyed his take. His fresh gaze made me appreciate
    The Time Meddlers more.

    The First Doctor's era is what set the show up. Knowledge
    of that era and its concepts are the basis for everything
    that came later... Everyone should watch those old episodes
    at least once. If all people had to judge "Doctor Who" on
    was the modern version of the show then they'd have missed
    the best thing about the show... its past!

    and wrecked by Chibnall/Whttaker!

    I'm coming round to the idea that anything after 1984 for
    "Doctor Who" could be considered as being wrecked by someone!

    I mentioned a bit ago that YouTuber Crispy Fry,
    disillusioned with Modern Who, had decided to try
    Classic Who.

    I find it surprising that there are people who call
    themselves Doctor Who "fans" but have never watched
    anything from the Hartnell era...

    There's a lot of modern Who now -- two decades' worth. I
    can see how someone who'd watched it all would regard
    himself as a serious fan.

    I suppose. But I can't see why a "serious fan" wouldn't have
    felt the need to check out the old eras of the show during
    those twenty years. Everything has a beginning. You'd think
    people who get into a TV show would want to know how it all
    began.

    I find it delightful that he was so into the classic show
    once he tried it. Some might have dismissed it as creaky
    old B&W history with crummy effects.

    I'm sure it happens. There's a lot more going for 1960's Doctor
    Who than that though. The story telling was actually quite good
    for the time, and I'm sure the effects were pretty good for
    television in the 1960's too.

    I have quite a bit if Hartnell/Troughton.

    Go on Dave, do the anagram thing... it's been a
    few years since we did that here.

    No swearing allowed!

    Hmm, let's see here. It's an anagram of "timelash," and
    it contains a swear. I'me guessing "lame sh*t." That does
    sound appropriate.

    You've played the RADW anagram game before, haven't you? ;-)
