it's doctor disco @doctorbasildisco - Tumblr Blog

One of my Dr who pet peeves is when people talk about classic who like oh haha they had a shoestring budget and all the effects were tinfoil and bubblewrap, that's how doctor who is SUPPOSED to be, it doesn't need a budget! And it's like ok but classic who was made by professionals who worked very hard and often had good special effects ):<

People dunk on the tinfoil cybermen but like cmon these are complicated specially made costumes that were re-designed several times over the course of the 60s and they are good! Look at these guys they're great!

would like to clarify that my issue here isn't really with people Insulting the way classic who looks (tho people do also do that) but with the more specific phenomenon of people trying to be nice about the show and in the process insinuating that people making it were something other than consummate professionals doing a good job.
