Top 10 Moments in Doctor Who History #5

So you think there was no humor in the classic series,... that it was RTD that introduced humor to Doctor Who. You couldn't be more wrong... Watch The Time Warrior, City of Death, the Pirate Planet, and pretty much anything with Tom Baker if you don't believe me...

Yes I knew of the humor in general ('Do You Want A Jelly Baby!') but as a whole when you speak of the humor in the revived series, you speak negatively of it. From what I have seen of Tom Bakers episodes, the humor is more plentiful in 2006 +, and you seem to be critisising that. By the way, I havent actually lived long enough to see ALL the classics, but Tom Baker Repeats have entertained me, they are very good and funny yes, but after and before him humor did not play a big part in classics.

You're wrong that there's any more humor in the new series then there was in the classic. It's the manner of humor that's different. The classic series humor was done in the great tradition of Douglas Adams with some mild Monty Python thrown in at times. The new series relies on juvenile humor such as burping garbage bins and farting aliens.

No infact those paticular 'jokes' are more intended for younger viewers, the shows humor is mostly played out as clever lines, (aka Journeys end when there were '3' doctors and jack says ''I cant say what Im thinking right now'') That is both clever and discrete, primarily for adult viewers and something younger viewers will not understand. It is suited for everyone.
