The film collaberation that was done with the americans and with the McGann actor proved how good a Dr Who production would look IF some money was spent on it.

However IF the storyline is good maybe poor production values won't count.The problem is that today's younger generations won't accept rubber costumes and shaky sets.They are far more critical than twenty years ago.

Yep, I enjoyed that one. It's only real weakness for me was it relied very very heavily on the established 'lore' of the series. Bit too much for the geeks and too little for the casual viewer. If they pitch this new series firmly at the core fan base, it's doomed from day one.
