OT Right to life Dr Who?

You know I'm surprised the nutter brigade have not gone on the BBC sites and
complained about the dream sequence suicide of a pregnant woman by now,
they must be slipping!

They never do pregnant women properly. Heavily pregnant women have to lean
backwards to avoid falling over.

And you can always tell when an actress is holding a fake baby (or bundle).
I don't know whether it's the lack of weight, or the careless way they are
held.

Some of them are not much better holding real babies, particularly if they've
never had one of their own. Also, babies can sense the unease of an actress
who doesn't know quite what to do with it and has other things on her mind
anyway, like remembering lines and delivering a performance. This adds to the
baby's own unease at being suddenly plonked into the arms of somebody who
isn't their mum a few seconds before each take. Huge amounts of time can be
wasted waiting for babies to stop freaking out as a result of this, so it's
little wonder programme makers prefer to use dummies, even though they never
look real. Sometimes they use twins to play one infant in the hope that they
won't both be bawling their heads off at the same time. Convincing
performances with real babies in TV dramas and movies always impress me
because they're rare, and I've seen how difficult it can be to get it right.

The plots seem to be getting ridiculously convoluted, in oder to
justiy using all the tech effects that are now so easy to apply.
Back in the day it was just a simple but effective story of good v
evil. But that needed convincing actors, not kids who wear revealing
outfits to get attention.

Never stopped them in the past as I recall.

Maybe there is hope for us after all!

And convincing script writers.

But you hit the nail on the head.

21st Century Doctor Who is all about style and not substance.

But at least the script and story was worthwhile regardless, and the
acting more convincing.
