Did anyone happen to see the first episode of this arrant nonsense?
Those two teachers - Ian and Barbara - are nothing but a pair of interfering busy-bodies. If they stalked me through the London fog to my home in a junkyard, I'd have the authorities on them before you could say "decimalisation". :mad:
The "Unearthly Child" Susan is supposed to be fifteen but the actress is about twenty-three years old! This programme is ridiculous. :rolleyes:
Police boxes are everywhere and I don't understand what's so "spooky" about them in this programme.
"Doctor Who" is clearly a load of rubbish and I pity anyone who imagines it will last for the next forty-odd years.

next...:D
Exactly.
The idea's preposterous and so is the whole programme. Who wants to meet Stone Age People in this day and age?
Yawn, daddio! :rolleyes:
(What're you doing up at this hour? Shouldn't Peridroid have made you cocoa three hours ago?
Yeah, they could at least go someplace scenic like Dlakes or something!
"Dlakes" iz a well evil speeshees of alienz wot will show up in the second story of this farrago.
(That should probably be in spoilers but I doubt "Doctor Who" will even make it to episode two, considering that I and millions of others dislike it so much. :rolleyes:)
Nah, Dlakes iz dis!
It'll never get past 13 weeks!
(Peridroid has exploded. Waiting for Buffydroid to take over!)
Ladies in bikinis you say will appear? Outrageous! Someone call Mary Whitehouse!:D
I heard they're about to make people suffer through three gruelling weeks of
Magesterial landscapes but hardly "sci-fi", is it? "The Lakes" sounds like a dreadful drama series the BBC would produce in, I don't know, 1997, starring some hip young actor they'd, knowing the BBC, pressgang into appearing in this "Doctor Who" bilge ten years later. :mad:
It's political correctness gone mad or other phrases I barely understand. :rolleyes:
You're right. No one I know even likes it.
(They don't exist in 1963 but I can't believe Peridroid has exploded! :eek:)
I don't recall saying that, exactly, but be prepared to be outraged in weeks to come. This programme must be stopped and I have written to Mrs Whitehouse to prepare her for what's ahead.
Your hints are very worrying, CHJ. Pardon me for asking but don't you work at the school which was featured? Anything you'd like to share with us?
The producer is doing the wrong thing - because I say so - and the whole cast are just as bad - again, because I say so.
Cancel this rubbish.
It lacked a good story, one that actually left you with a sense of satisfaction.
It lacked a good companion (and a good actress or actor for that matter).
Eyes opening wide like a bunny about to be hit by the oncoming truck does not a good actor make. And that is just in relation to Ian Chesterton, wait till I get started on Carole Ann Ford.
It lacked a satisfying conclusion. The idea a bunch of no marks wind up travelling in a blue box to unknown destinations is the biggest load of horse manure I have ever watched, and makes no scientific sense at all.
It lacked an overnight audience. No one I know watched it, not even me, though fair dues i wasn't actually born at the time.
No one would ever want to own it on a DVD, or even a video for that matter.
bloody hell that snowman is scary, much more scary than
someone at the bbc should have the sense to ditch this programme and make a show about a snowman kidnapping a kid on xmas eve instead....
Even if this programme gets popular it will be ruined if they cast some hip youngster in his mid-late 40's
ps I'm sure I saw that Barbara show some ankle - the cheap hussy!
And "pressgang" sounds like some awful ITV children's programme that would be made a few years before that with some horrible writer who twenty years on would work on this Doctor Who tripe and make it even worse. (But perhaps I'm imagining things again because I'm a bit mental.)
Only that I heard one of the production crew sending some chap out to buy
I bet they sound like ZIppy from Rainbow too
Can't see her lasting beyond the end of the story. A woman in charge of a cheap production like this? Pah! She'll be wanting her own company next!!!!
This show has created a temporal paradox. Let's cancel it, I have a great idea about a programme called Moonbase 3, it'll outlast this nonsense!
What are those? Is it something I can play on my gramaphone?
Neither of them will last, they should dump them while they can!
Interested in his hands, are we?
Too true, this soap opera nonsense is just not realistic and does not portray a normal everyday existance. I mean, buying all your shopping from a corner shop and then spending the rest of your time in the local public house without getting drunk! Where are all the exploding trams and the other features of everyday life?
I have a much better idea replace Coronation Street with a programme set withing the confines of a market. This would better reflect the modern all in one shopping experience and could run for years.
And as to this time box malarky, replace it with a down to earth series about regular people, set somewhere sunny like the mediterranean. Thats what people really want to see.
Both my ideas could really run for years and years. I think I shall pass them both on to the controllers of the BBC and ITV because I am sure that they will recognise a good idea when they see it!
Who? What? Me?
The way things are going nowadays no doubt they will start to have a minority agenda. Piffle.
I've been upset all day after hearing that that nice President Kennedy was assassinated yesterday, and this programme really cheered me up.
In fact, it was so good that I believe it will still be going in 47 years time!
Yes, I know, I'm fantasizing! Still going in 47 years time, indeed. What a ridiculous notion!
Never mind that. Have you heard that second LP The Beatles just put out? Phew, are they on the decline! I give them a month.
The actors were dreadful, and I thought Enid Sharples was atrocious. Nobody lives in a pup.
