The premise. is exactly the same - an alien that can travel through time and space in his telephone box takes a friend with him saving worlds and all that other stuff. Well, it holds it's own as a show but there are problems that stick out like a sore thumb to me the more I look at it. Okay, the regenerations are terrible on this show. They push what is a natural part of the character's life cycle as death which to me doesn't work. I've already gone on an all out rant on this in my review for The End Of Time so I'll just spare going into detail because I already did that and I'd feel redundant, All I do have to say is the one regeneration I like from this show is 9 to 10. Another problem is that some of the premises get too outlandish, even for a franchise where at one point they literally dive into an illogical point outside of space/time and find fictional characters and toy soldiers out to kill them and replacing a companion's face in an attempt to stop the god of that world. In the old show it kind of makes sense that they cover up the existence of aliens and the reason for that is that they don't enter by crashing through Big Ben or moving Earth from it's place in The Solar System to another point in the universe with 25 other breathable worlds. And this gets covered up. somehow! I think a more realistic consequence is if the completely oblivious people of London kick down Parliament House and tell them to cut the crap and actually come out and say that aliens exist, and would a cover-up actually work? What story would they say to disprove something like a spaceship version of The Titanic almost crashing into Buckingham Palace? Sure, that notion would be ridiculous but I think someone that would have seen it would have taken a photo even back then. I have one last hate point for the show - Missy. Just Time Lord gender swapping in general. Would this mean that The Master this whole time just felt like he was in the wrong body? It doesn't add up. I mean if you want an evil villain Time Lady, The Rani hasn't been used and there's also Romana for those "Female Doctor" people who's smarter then The Doctor but lacks in experience, well that character can change since the last time she was seen was 34 years ago. Make a spin-off show about Romana. This can happen while we have a Male Doctor, it wasn't like there were no female Time Lords in the heroic or villainous role in the old show. I have my own personal disliking for some of the tropes in the show that would seriously make me a nitpicker but I'm just going for the ones that matter to me. I'll go down what I like about this show. I do enjoy the new Doctors, never really being upset with any of them (even 12. I think the new creature effects are excellent with the Dalek voices at points sounding alien and not the almost robotic like voices from the first Dalek story (I mean the first, first Dalek story) or obviously just some guy in a Dalek suit, while it does end up short on creativity in comparison with the old show when it comes to alien races some of the newer designs are better. There are other good things, for one this has my favourite incarnation of The Master with John Simm, okay while it doesn't look like they watched an episode with the others in it I do like his goofiness. Other things are the larger scale stories, some legitimate drama and while some characters are given a personality make-over like The Master (I'm not kidding when I say he barely resembles Anthony Ainley or Roger Delgado's incarnation) still put things in that are worthwhile and I do prefer these TARDIS interiors to the ones in the old show which (this is expected though) looked cheaper. So really, it's just a personal preference. I like both shows almost equally, both having their ups and downs. This is worth it if you are open to the classics having faster paced stories then the hour and a half that was almost the norm, way better creature effects (although that's to be expected) and actors that can fill in the shoes of The Doctor even when putting them up against some of the classics, just like the old show is worth it if you want more developed stories, better creativity and over a quarter of a century's worth more stories. It really is pick and choose at this point. While I prefer the classics, I can see why someone would prefer the new show.
