I have a theory - and I might be wrong - that folks who grew up on Classic Who like the Moffat era more than RTD, because his version of the Doctor is closer to the Classic era - but I could be wrong.
I also think that Chibs was trying to harken back to the Classic era, but with more mixed results...
I'm a Tom Baker completist and was hemming and hawing about buying the season because of everything I saw on Reddit and YouTube.
I finally bit the bullet a few weeks ago and just finished the set today. I work in film and TV and there was literally nothing that was egregious at all.
Sure, I noticed a subtle ai clean up on The Android Invasion and Terror of The Zygons but it wasn't slop and I don't think I would have really noticed if not for the online conversation.
Am I wrong in thinking that it's not a big deal and all and actually looks fine?
Really my only issue with the set is that it's not a super big step up visually from the DVDs - but given that physical media doesn't sell like it used to and the original wasn't in HD, it's not a big deal. Happy to support the releases and the bonus features are fun.
After listening to this week's secret pod, I feel like they'll be a lot more comfortable with him after giving this a watch. He comes across as a completely sane, grounded guy who genuinely wants to make this country a better place.
