I mean, this "expose" of the origins of Doctor Who relies on us being impressed by "ideas we thought were crap at the time" and us not realizing that William Hartnell's Doctor actually last for four years between being cast and being replaced.<BR/><BR/>Still, I remember when it was announced they were repeating the whole series (which got quite a bit of publicity) Richard Glover interviewed some highranking fan and demanded to know what the best episode was.<BR/><BR/>"Genesis of the Daleks".<BR/><BR/>Yeah right.<BR/><BR/>He wanted to say "City of Death" and just crumpled under the peir pressure - hell, people I knew at school were impatient for "The Happiness Patrol" to be repeated, cause Aussies don't have huge Bertie-Basset chips on their shoulders...Youth of Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509521019229324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-72861824040122890922008-03-17T16:14:00.000+11:002008-03-17T16:14:00.000+11:00Man, why is it that whenever there's any sort of m...Man, why is it that whenever there's any sort of mainstream article about a cult show the complete hack comes out of the writer?<BR/><BR/>I mean, even Michael Idato, who quite clearly <I>is</I> a Doctor Who fan, can't write anything about it objectively. He has to write his own bullshit opinions as if they're fact, like when he refers to <B>Pyramids of Mars</B> as "Accepted as the single best story" and talks about Eccleston being "the only Doctor to be seen as better than Tom Baker".
