Dr Who and those nasty thingys...

[purpose]

Ok, so i am a grown-up woman in her 30s, but please, there MUST be others who found the 'under the bed' scene in last night's episode more scary than a very scary thing, indeed...????

And now they're threatening us with Cyber men next week.

I'm a gibbering wreck.

Is this normal?

[ermintrude35]

..yes it is normal purpose, I opened up my newspaper last week for a quick brows at lunchtime and lo and behold a full page pic of the cybermen, I nearly fell off my chair, think I will be watching from behind a cushion next week...awww just like the 70s....

[Joe Shmoe]

Well purpose that is exactly what the script writers are aiming for. so you and ermintrude prove they are getting it right. Personally I just find it thrilling,exciting, funny and unmissable. In my opinion I think that is one of the best British sci-fi dramas ever. Wasn't that scene with the horse and the mirror amazing.:-D

[Joe Shmoe]

That being said. I would not like to meet those clockwork robots on a dark night.:-D

do you reckon the youngsters are watching dr who now with the same feelings we had in the 70's/80's? or do you reckon the only people watching it are in their 30's/40's?

My daughter is 14 and is really into it. She records it and watches it two or three times so that she doesn't miss anything.

[kazza12345]

but does she get scared like we used to do/still do?

[Mattk]

i remember hiding behind the telly as a kid !

[souldriver]

I never used to watch dr who in the 80's but since they brought it back, i'm really into it. I do how ever think they where slightly creepy / scary for saturday evenings family viewing. It's something about the masks they wore, but i can't wait for the cybermen.

Oh thank goodness I'm not alone, they scared the stuffing out of me!

[purpose]

So I AM normal, after all.....!!!!!

Those clockwork things really were very, very scary in the face dept. It was all I could do to not run upstairs and hide... but there's no way I'd have hidden under the bed.

Thanks for making me feel normal :0)

[Joe Shmoe]

purpose, I think the reason that they were so scary in the face department was 1. The sinister smile and no eyes just black spaces. And 2. They looked like clowns. Need I say any more?:-D

Daughter says she doesn't get scared.

[kazza12345]

do you reckon it's because its not as scary, or because kids these days see scary stuff on the news etc and just become inured to it all?
