#which i guess the BBC is in no hurry to find or recreate with animations

[elizabethrobertajones]

still watching old Dr Who and I've reached the stretch where the animations are on iplayer but there's a missing special with side characters, which was lost until it got recreated in 2019.

Started watching it for completion's sake, and instantly had the kneejerk "these are faces that know what the internet is" reaction that made me pause it to laugh.

Absolutely wild how time periods and eras can be interpreted in our brains like distinct facial features that help us tell friends and family apart. I've just spent all this time watching TV from 63-5 and now I'm looking at these guys and even with all their attempts to make it look like this was filmed at the same time and the modern era reeks off them in their face, hair and mannerisms. The boys are trying so hard but they can't hit the RP accents from back then. Even our young royals these days don't sound as plummy, never mind random students. It's hopeless :')
