35 years ago today the original run of #DoctorWho came to an end. The new series is good and all but it's not the same for those of us of a certain age.

Just realised new Who is 20 next year. So we get a 20th anniversary special in the mould of the 5 Doctors. Eeturn of the Raston warrior robot and Rose falling down a small incline
One of the weird thing about rewatching early New Who is how it also now feels so long ago. Survival and Rose are both just mixed together as “classic” Who.
I would suggest that the CBBC Boakness of Rose renders that false. Early S1 just looks ropey whereas late S1 looks very modern in comparison to s26 multi camera
To a point - but it all also now looks very dated. Not saying that’s a bad thing at all, indeed it makes it harder to sustain a clear distinction imo. New Who S1 feels far more like a Who Season 27 now than it felt at the time.

Now I’m not sure which of the two I prefer. I have a soft spot for every era!
Who has been back for 5 years more than it was off air which is just insane to me
But the fact it looks old just means that it’s really easy to see it as Season 27. Just the same show back after this blip.
