Dr Who as a cultural phenomenon is intimidating.
I watched a moderate amount of Tom Baker and John Pertwee in the 70s-80s and really liked it.
When my kids started watching the re-boot, I was determined to hate it, but it quickly won me over.
I can say, without hesitation, that David Tennant was the best Doctor ever, hands down.
But afterwards, it turned to total **** and Hollywood, all the quaint Anglo charm was stripped out of it.
My teenage kids recognize this perfectly well, too.
