Bill D, I AM both sorts........ I like the Doctor (well, most of them), and I liked most of the plot lines, and many of the supporting actors. Even some of the scripts were acceptable, but as Mark said, the cardboard and string non-effects and shoestring budget made it entertainment rather than "real" sci-fi. Shame really, for the idea could have made good sci-fi, but it would have cost far too much for the BBC to produce, even if they had wanted to. It only made it off the ground because it started as children's TV. Having said all that, I'd still watch it for the entertainment value, even if I am saying "What IS this?".
