I'll never tire of hearing how Chinballs drove people away from the series. I bet he regrets what he said to Pip and Jane now LOL. Personally however and I know this is going to sound rich from me, but that is an overreaction LOL. I don't think that the work of genuinely talented and clever people like Terry Nation, Robert Holmes, Verity Lambert, David Whittaker, JNT, Barry Letts, Andrew Cartmel, Graham Williams, Terrance Dicks even Eric Saward should no longer be appreciated because of a talentless, parasitic hack like Chinballs. I don't think that's the case, however it's undeniable that the Classic Series has been tainted and tarnished from the association with the NuPooh abortion. I too have banished my entire Who collection from the display shelves and into storage to concentrate on other childhood loves and obsessions which I can proudly show off instead. I now have my display shelves filled with a catch up of 2000AD material instead. Although I'll still maintain an interest in any Classic Who restoration, re-enactment or rediscovery, I'm afraid NuPooh has firmly killed any previous passion I had for the series. It's frankly an embarrassment now. A hidden shame which once had a glory era. I'm not exhibiting ancient franchise tat just for people to talk about the abortion it's developed into. In the bin it must go. I got rid of my Who stuff back in 2017 when I was abused on my Facebook fanpage for daring to call certain segments of the fandom up on their shit. I thought, "fokk this" and sold them online. A few years later I bought some of them back only for my interest in the series to dip yet again due to the rubbish that was being broadcast. The nastiness of both of the series and the fans led me to get rid of everything I had left including rare books and CDs, things I couldn't afford to replace. I decided to buy back my favourite stories on DVD again in October because I honestly missed watching them. To be honest I struggle with much of the classic series these days, but there's about eight or nine stories that I really love and enjoy watching and I'm not going to let NuWho interfere with that anymore. |

I've never sat through Can You Hear Me, Praxeus or Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, having passed me by entirely at the time, so I just voted for Orphan 55, Fugitive of the Judoon, and the finale. All for reasons I need not explain, the latter in particular being painfully self-explanatory at this point.
