The Silence gag was fantastic

As someone who dropped off sometime during the Moffat years--I'm an old school Who fan who has a fondness for the days of yore (remember when Douglas Adams wrote for the show!?), so the modern Who's kinetics and emotions feel overwhelming--it is nice to hear the good Doctor is still managing to be a critique of and message for the culture we live in.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched the old-old Doctor Who, but I recall Tom Baker delivering a lot of lines or just emoting directly at the camera, like he was addressing the audience. Man has teeth. Lots of em. Too many perhaps.

Good vid! - ALMOST made me consider thinking of wanting to appraise my opinion of Doctor Who (it's never clicked for me). :) Unfortunately, Who always feels to me exactly how it's portrayed in that one episode of Extras. Loads of respect for Russell T Davies though. Loved Years and Years though - glad that made a cameo - and It's a Sin, whilst off topic here, was exceptional. Interesting chap.

Ah yeah. It's a very different sort of aesthetic. I love Hinchcliffe/Holmes, but I also love Davies. I love Cartmel, but I also love Moffat. It's a great illustration - to me - of a show's capacity to evolve and change over time in a way that not every franchise has managed to pull of. You put a Lloyd Innes episode next to a Saward episode, and they may as well be from a different planet. You put a late Davies episode next to a late Moffat episode, the rhythm and the tempos are different. Even comparing RTD I to RTD2 reveals a show that has changed in its bones. I prefer some versions to other, but it's that change that I love.

Darren Mooney

Oh, Baker would regularly just barrel the camera. And, to be fair, Pertwee would stop just short of it.
