Doctor Who

Yes we may have had bubble wrapped cryons. There may of been the worst special effects rat ever, but what we had was a plot. Of course though a series going this long has it's bad episodes, but by and large the plots and characters were sound.

When it was cancelled in the 80s it was far better than the tick the pc box emporers new clothes who of today.

Each Dr bought something different to the role. There the suave of Pertwee to the scheming of McCoy. It also posed real moral dilemmas like genesis of the Daleks.

Then we had the great companions and easily as good villains. From the brigadeear to the master and everything in between. So many iconic characters. Daleks still relavent even now.

All in all a classic series that refuses to be a sheep like new who.
