From gamera_spinning: Doctor Who Series Two

Looks mighty good, I must say. My only gripe, and it's my gripe with Eccleston as well, is that the Doctor isn't eccentric enough visually. Where's the Victorian garb or unusual accessorizing? The Doctor looks entirely too normal -- he blends right in!

On the other hand, BUDGET! Woohoo!

Eccleston was so eccentric himself that anything additional would have just been goofy.

I've not seen the new ones... so maybe David Tennant needs the props, and maybe not.

I'm not sure how I feel about Budget.

I mean series 1, well it still looked and felt like DrWho and it looked and felt like BBC... sure it was updated for the 2000's but it had that "look for the zippers in the monsters" cheesiness about it that was always so endearing. It looked like how I would expect DrWho to look in the 2000's if it had continued to have a continous run.

Make it too slick and it's just not DrWho (see Fox/BBC co-production made for TV movie).

It's sad to know that The Doctor is going to regenerate into David Tennant... I like Christopher Eccleston... I wuv Christopher Eccleston...

*cry*

The new one's not too bad. I've seen him in action at Christmas. Until then, keep your paws off CE--my mother saw him first!

As for the eccentricity, he wears a pinstripe three-piece suit with sneakers.

Christopher Eccleston ive found is enjoyable as the dr he has his own style but has some elements that play to tom baker i just got to watch the first showing of the last of the dalecks he plays it well that hes the last of the timelords faced with the last of his races destroyers

already knowing he's going to regenerate is ...sigh sad but expected

the tv movie was a travisty and should be buried very very deep

I think the reason that Eccleston had elements of Tom Baker was because to study for the role (Eccleston was not a Doctor Who fan), he watched "Talons of Weng Chiang" a few times.

Tennant's Doctor, from what I saw in the Christmas Invasion, is going to have a lot of Troughton influence - serious yet goofy.

McGann played the role very well for the crappy script he had to work with. I'm glad to see he's still playing the role of the eighth doctor in a radio series.

The Doctor's odd dress is less outlandish than it used to be, but it's still odd.

Eccleston's black leather jacket is a thrift-store antique, and in many cases the characters note that it's out of place in whatever era they're in.

Tennant's outfit is 80's music video Victoriana. It picks up some design elements that are in Davison's and Colin Baker's costumes, but without the wacky colors.

Ecclestone was a fantastic Doctor and I think the less than "in-your-face" garb showed that he has a darker side now he's seen the destruction of his people and yet at the same time it is relaxed and comfortable.

Mind you I am biased as my garb of choice is black jeans, shirt and leather jacket. And I'm from the North!
