Just watching a show called 'The Noughties, inane chat about' or some such thing.
They started talking about Doctor Who and when they chatted about old Who they said that not a lot of effort went into the old monsters. Well of course if you show clips from the Peladon episodes (Ice Warriors, Penis monster) you make the show look bad. What about the Cybermen, Zygons, Sea Devils, Sylurians, Sil, Daleks, Morbius... the list goes on of amazing designs and craft work that people should really be very proud of. Its a bit crappy that hard work, creativity and acheivement on a budget gets dismissed so offhandedly.
But they didn't end there. Of course several pointed out that HAHAHHAHAHA old Doctor Who was filmed in a quarry!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA ALL THE PLANETS LOOKED THE SAME!!!!!!!!
Never mind Planet of Evil or Logopolis or The Brain of Morbius or countless other episodes that created alien worlds without the use of a quarry. But even ignoring them, where else do you film in Britain? Britain has quarries. Unfortunately Doctor Who didn't have Yosemite park on its doorstep, they had to make do.
But worst of all is this is such a trite thing to say. Why hire comedians or commentators if they aren't at least going to TRY and come up with something new to say. Otherwise just hire me to read out a list of cliches to read out about a show.
Magic Roundabout? Its about drugs HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Star Trek? Red shirts always die HAHAHAHAHAHA
Crossroads? THE SETS WOBBLED!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOCTOR WHO? THEY FILMED IT IN FUCKING QUARRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
I could do that.
Seriously.
TV, give me a job.
Excited about Doctor Who tomorrow.
Merry Christmas.
