suhagra 50 What did the programme have that today’s incarnation lacks? Wobbly sets, laughable effects and dodgy costumes – sure - but necessity is the mother of invention and it had a sense of mood, pace and suspense that few recent episodes achieve. It was understated, often unhurried, took its time. So what that the production team didn’t even have digital clocks to do countdowns to Armageddon? We lived in the shadow of the Cold War, many of our parents had experience of the Second World War. The apocalyptic landscapes, the visions of an England subjugated, connected at a visceral level as part of our national story. The most memorable and perturbing episodes of the past eight years, in my view, have harked back to the glory low-tech days, where darkness, absence and the unknown could be as scary as Daleks: The Empty Child, Silence in the Library, Midnight. Maybe the truth of the matter is that Who worked best when we knew who we were – and these days, perhaps, we don’t.
