Doctor Who

So, which do you like better?

[crazy canuck]

Nu Who's, particularly Tennant but this new guy is pretty good too.

[Josquius]

New.
When I was a kid I found old too slow paced, now I find it a bit dated.

I can see finding the old stuff kind of dated now, but as for the pace, I think some of the new episodes feel too rushed.  The second episode of the new series really went too fast IMO.

Haven't seen old Who, but tv from that period is just lackluster in general.

Totally agreed that lots of the new ones are way too rushed.
I could well see myself as a kid loving it though wheras with the old ones...I just wanted them to finish with the talking and lead up and actually get down to business,

I liked the older episodes.  Tom Baker is Dr. Who.  Part of the fun was how bad the production values were.

I was amused by the whole block of old british shows on the PBS station. Dr. Who, Space:1999, Monty Python and that stupid show set in a department store. And Taggart.

Space: 1999 wasn't a British show AFAIK.

And frankly, I'm surprised that it's running anywhere nowdays.  It pretty much was a flop, and only lasted 2 seasons IIRC.

EDIT:  I checked, and, I was mistaken in that it was a British show, but was correct that it only ran 2 years.

I know exactly what you mean!   "Are You Being Served?" I think was the name of it.  There was also the awful comedy of about the annoying fat old woman.  Then another show where there was an annoying fat woman who wasn't as old but was a priest or something.

All I know it, when Judi Dench was on screen, my pants came off.

[Habbaku]

I find the new Dr. Who stuff to be nothing short of boring.

Then again, I found the old stuff the same.

[Mr.Penguin]

The 10th Doctor. It's limited what I have seen of the 8th Doctor, so for me is it at choice between the 9th and the 10th Doctor...

They did show the 4th Doctor on danish TV back when I was a kid, but for some reason did I find it silly back then... 

[Gaius Marius]

Voted 3rd option. I can only remember the 4th doctor from PBS reruns, whereas i've seen all three of the new doctors. Ergo, not informed enough.

[Syt]

So, for someone who has so far watched NONE of the Doctors ... which would be considered essential watching?
