people take this show way too seriously btw, which i think is partly why it became cringey.

it’s a dumb goofy show about aliens and a time traveler who is somehow the smartest guy in the universe and a complete dumbass at the same time with really fucking awful special effects

why don’t you watch christoper eccleston yank the arm off of an evil killer mannequin and maybe you’ll calm down

why must a show be “good”? Is it not enough to watch David Tennant scream at a cat nun about human rights?

ITS A WHAT???

It’s a family show, which means it goes out early in the evening and is supposed to be a crossover show that parents can enjoy together with their kids. It was actually originally conceived as an edutainment show that would teach kids about history & science.

It’s never been 100% a kid’s show but it is intended to be watched by young children. The fact that in other countries it’s marketed as grown up sci fi just like. Explains so much about it’s reputation on Tumblr.
