[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 32293, member: 73"] For me, the decision is quite simple. There are so many episodes, and I don't want to be turned off by strange lighting and bad stunt tricks (bad as in compared with today's standards!!!). I hate seeing wires and stuff in old movies. If I started with 1960s Who, I believe I'd be turned off rather fast. The new Who on the other hand... Better quality, I'm absolutely sure of. I'm also not quite fond of black & white TV. I prefer colour. Finally, the polite and formal way they often spoke 50 years ago isn't very charming IMO. I grew up after the "you-reformation" in Sweden, which is when people stopped referring to each other as "sir", "miss" and profession titles, and instead began calling each other by first name or just "you". Even our bosses and other powerful people. I call my boss by her first name and wouldn't ever dream of calling her "Principal S...". Although, I'd love to see her reaction if I did! :lol: I'd even call our Prime Minister "Stefan" if I met him. Using formal language & titles is quite foreign to me, which is probably why I prefer the dialogue of today rather than past times dialogue. Put all these factors together and my choice is simple.
