black and white, less than amazing special effects, or hammy acting then there may even be some of the classic series i could recommend to you as well. i can easily handle all of those things if the topic is good and since the topic of doctor who stories are usually pretty good, i have enjoyed both classic and new who. hopefully i can encourage you to check out a few episodes for yourself.
i'm making the assumption that the majority of people reading this will fall into two categories. either you have no real knowledge of doctor who, or you are only familiar with the modern run of the series.
