I 'm not sure I like the way you keep referring to "sophistication," as though there is some sort of class war amongst Doctor Who viewers. Almost arrogant, in fact. Probably sitting there sipping your champagne snorting "Look at me, I'm so high class enjoying old Who more than I do New Who. Pish to these fools of the LCD no appreciating a mere tacky TV show."
When I want sophisticated TV I watch some detective shows, Columbo perhaps. Or maybe Jeeves and Wooster, I own the whole set. Maybe I'll join the LCD and enjoy some 80s and 90s comedy, shoot me.
I understood the storyline, albeit after watching it twice, I just didn't think some of the acting and writing was up to scratch. It was overly bloated, imo. Nothing to do with whether or not I deep fry my tracksuit.
Danny, serious question, do you think that the "unsophisticated" Who viewers of whom you speak all look like this?
