>>2853Oh god I wish all of the classic series was shot on film
No.2857
>>2856It would be so good.
Except bad effects would look even worse.
Still far more than worth the tradeoff in my opinion
No.2858
>>2854I'm in for the long haul if others are.
Anyway, discussion time.
People of /doctorwho/, where does this series rank in terms of NuWho so far?
No.2859
>>2856>>2857IIRC Pirateanon said the first 20 minutes of deadily assassin are shot on film. We could get a bluray if the film is still out there.
There are other episodes like that too I think.
No.2860
>>2858Top NuWho series:
1) Series 8
2) Series 4
3) Series 5
4) Series 3 minus last 15 minutes of finale

No.2869
>>2868Rose is good if you look at the bigger picture
No.2870
>>2862Not that guy, but here's my answer.
Aliens of London/World War Three.
The Long Game.
Boom Town.
Rusty's cum on the lens.
Burping bins, farting Aliens, trampolines, pop culture references that works well at the time, but haven't aged well
No.2871
>>2870I agree but I think 9 is great in all those stories and makes up for it.
In my opinion anyways.
No.2872
No.2873
>>2871I do my rankings based on story score averages, and that's where it falls. The bad stuff drags it down
No.2874
>>2870The cinematography in Series 1 was pretty shit. It starts to pick up Series 4 and has stayed consistently good.
No.2875

No.2877
I think if Eccleston wasn't playing the doctor in Series 1 the show would have been cancelled.
His acting talents completely carried that whole season. He was way better than most of the scripts he got.
No.2879
>>2877I think the show wouldn't have done as well if they'd just started with Tennant honestly. I think people needed Eccleston to start with.
I could always be wrong though.
No.2880
>>2874I think it really started to show some real style in Series 5. They had to up their game for HD, and it worked.
Series 6 started to look really, really good and now Series 8 has pushed it into a new, fantastic direction too
No.2881
>>2877I still think dalek is the best episode of nuwho that features them
that's just me though
No.2882
>>2877This got me thinking.
Actors of course will hype up and say they love every episode but what episodes do you think they didn't like?
I find it hard to believe Eccleston actually liked some of the scripts he was getting. A lot of them were junk.
No.2884
>>2882I don't think Eccleston would ever admit it but I get the impression he disliked most of the stories he was in.
No.2885
>>2882This isn't related to the scripts exactly, but I've read that Eccleston had zero experience with Daleks, and when he encountered them for the first time, he was astounded. They were something completely new for him and apparently he had a really good time, and it shows through with his acting.
No.2886
>>2882I think the only episode Eccleston ever have commented on is the Doctor Dances. Which he liked
No.2889
>>2885He said he loved acting on green screens because it made him feel like a kid again.
>>2886He said in a graham norton interview it was the best episode of his era.
