In the classic series, there was a pretence of science - as mentioned, the Cybermen had a scientific rational, and the robot in 'Robot' had been developed for mining and radioactive environments too dangerous for humans. Jon Pertwee even had a laboratory. New Who is just a fantasy show; the sonic screwdriver has become a magic wand. This is a pity, because if they put real science in the show it would be more interesting. Sonic levitation is a real phenomenon, so in theory a sonic screwdriver could actually work. Now the technobabble is just gibberish. 1:56 illustrates the bad science in New Who. The Dregs have no clothes or weapons. This suggests a drop in intelligence, but wouldn't intelligence be an evolutionary advantage in a post apocalyptic world? They have the dentition of a carnivore, but carnivores are apex predators; they require extensive vegetation to support their herbivore prey, but the world is now a wasteland, so how does that work? Also, they don't have genitals, so how do they reproduce?
Ne Who isn't just a fantasy show at all. A lot of scientific stuff is in doctor who. The sun expanse to a red giant expected from a class G star is presented in the second episode of series 1. The concept of multiverse and collapsed star (black hole) appear in series 2. Sonic devices could sync with molecule vibrations and rearrange them, opening doors and activating explosives. The concept of time dilation in the general relativity is very well explained by the 12th doctor... doctor who goes beyond science and explores art, literature and culture with historical figures such as Shakespeare, Agatha Chritie and Van Gogh The dregs have been exposed to intense radiation and that causes anomalies in the genetic material and mutations in coding dna leading to biological incoherences If you want a show with a lot of scientific accuracy you'll have to watch star trek
@@thehybrid210 Doctor Who has fantasy at its core - it has a machine which can travel backwards in time and is larger on the inside. Both of these things violate the laws of physics as we understand them and so are impossible. But that's OK, we can suspend disbelief - it can be explained away as the technology of a civilization millions of years older than ours. In view of the progress we have made in 100 years, it is believable that the Time Lords have had time to acquire an understanding of physics that we don't have. However, if I was writing the show, I would accept the premise above, but otherwise obey the laws of physics. It would make the stories better (it is unsatisfying when issues are resolved by magic) and be educational. "Kill the Moon" had the moon acquiring mass from nowhere, that is just bad science. What was the 'flux'? Pure fantasy, no attempt at an explanation. It would be possible to put interesting science into the stories. For example there was some truly terrible dialogue between the Doctor and Graham about cancer. The Doctor could have mentioned that she knew about his condition because like dogs, the gas analyzer in the Tardis life support system could smell it. (Incidentally, if the Time Lords have the technology to build time machines, they would also have the technology to cure cancer, even in alien species). Anyway, under Chris Chibnall, the bad science is a minor sin compared to the terrible scripts and bad acting.
@@davidagnew6191 I do agree with everything you said. Doctor who has fantasy at its core, and i don't see it as a problem There are some "impossible things" but at least they do have a reasonable explanation for some of them, the tardis is bigger on the inside because the inside is in another dimension, it would be theoretically possible to do that if we had dimensional engineering. Tardises travel in time through the time vortex, which is a region outside of space-time continuum, therefore transcends the laws of physics. Fantasy is part of the series, if you go too realistic and too restricted by physics the show could lose a bit of its identity. As for the Chibnall comments, i have nothing to say because i also agree with you and i think it all just comes down to bad scripts, rush and lack of organisation
@@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575 Doctor Who interests me more than other shows because firstly, its unique format means that it can (or at least used to) do interesting science-fictiony things. Secondly, it is long running, and so it was part of my childhood, and thirdly it is the best example of what happens to viewing figures when you go woke.
The ark in space when I was 5 with Tom Baker screwed me up to this day. Kids should not have been allowed to watch that damn show. I had this recurring dream that I was walking through a room with flesh hanging from everything which led to the psychedelic tunnel at the end of the show and everything froze. That is when I woke up terrified. That dream happened about 30 times and I ended up scarred for life 🤣
Six-year-old me couldn’t bear to watch the Cybermen breaking Lytton’s hands in _Attack of the Cybermen,_ or that bit in which Bates shows off his own upgraded hand and crushes Russell’s human hand as he calmly intones, ‘This is what the Cybermen do to you’ . . . 😬
_Uggh,_ ‘global warming’ = ‘dregs’ . . . really subtle, guys. Jodeh doing that Greta Thunberg episode was a new low in _Doctor Who_ (at the time). Anyway, I thought we now called it ‘climate change’?

The cyber controller isn’t their “latest incarnation” - it’s 16 years old!
Wish the Doctor Who experience still existed in Cardiff
My daughter loved it and wanted a job there. It was amazing.

Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax"

Planning on going, could you tell me roughly how long you could spend in that museum please? Is it likely a place you could spend an hour or two?
Went today. Was really good and deffo worth a visit.

Davros created the ultimate menace... the Mobility Scooter.
Just been there !, It's amazing , absolutely brilliant ! 💘💘💘 I love you Dr who .😍😍😍
Planning on going, did the shop take cash or is it card only?
Both !
Thanks!
Your welcome , you will love it and there is lots interactive things to do in the exhibition . Enjoy !
Have a lovely time
went yesterday, not bad!
👏
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍👍
Race memory of the sliurians
So they’re ripping off the Doctor who experience and it’s not going to be as good…..
At least it's there

A) does it matter what we call it?
B) a new low *for you.* I mean, I’m not a fan of it either but still

Dr Who is dead.
just isn't tho is it
Stop being such a pessimist
It felt like it was dying yeah, but I reckon it's gonna get resurrected
@@Robbiex-nz3ix Actually died as soon as Jodie stepped into the TARDIS
So many people agree with you
