"Back in my day, the Doctor wouldn't have even kissed one of his companions on the cheek, let alone a snog on the lips!" Yes, well, back in your day they'd only just got rid of rationing, so no wonder all that space stuff was a bit too much for you. And that's us paraphrasing a Doctor Who quote there, before you kick off in the comments! It's amazing, though, really, that fans of a sci-fi series about time travel can spend so much time being hooked up on the past. Maybe if these guys stopped reminiscing over the days of yore and tried to enjoy the new series for what it is, they'd actually start to enjoy what it has to offer instead of persistently pointing out all of its faults. And no, "This would never have happened during the days of John Nathan-Turner..." doesn't count as a justifiable fault. Doctor Who, and the world in general, isn't suddenly rubbish just because it's got with the times. "Times much change, and so must I." Another relevant Doctor Who quote for you. It's almost as if they're trying to tell us something.
