Well, I didn't until -now-...

They're more or less Cushing Daleks, with cheaper paint an a worse shape.


Cheers,

I don't like the new Dr Who theme music - none of the eerieness of the
original.
And I don't like the candy coloured Daleks (rainbow Daleks? Not Scary)
And I'm *sure* the acting wasn't so hammy when I was a kid.

It wasn't so hammy with the last doctor. This is a new production
team I believe. Not a good move IMO.

I'm worryingly aware that I've actually caught myself thinking "he's too
young to be the Doctor".

What I _will_ say is that Saturday's Dalek episode was the first one where
Matt Smith seemed to be playing the Doctor, not Matt Smith playing David
Tennant playing the Doctor. If you see what I mean.

And I loved the Jammy Dodger line.

Isn't that the point? Each new Doctor is getting younger. Just wait for
the screaming toddler...
