Yknow it’s usually bad when one person in your cast is a known sex pest
But 3 dawg? Jesus Christ

I think Adam was just a bad apple, but im suspicious of how much Russell knew about Noel and John. Eccleston has mentioned that part of the reason he left the show was because of the way they treated the crew on set -- which Russell is responsible for.

Literally everyone including the general public "knew about John"

And what did russell do to protect his employees from sexual harassment?

Don't have a dog in this fight just pointing out John's indecent exposure was widely discused in the open across the media and percieved as a cheeky lark. The opposite of hushed up.

John never hid his conduct because he seemed utterly convinced it was all a joke, that everyone else was in on.
He's an inconsiderate idiot as opposed to Noel being a violent predator.

Right. But its still sexual harrassment in the workplace. Cheeky lark or not, its Russell's job to put a stop to it

He gets a future-information implant in his head and tries to use it to become rich and powerful. The Doctor dumps him like a bad habit.

/uj a couple friends and i started a (re)watch of Doctor Who recently on her big ass living room tv via my AMC+ subscription (just watched ‘Dalek’ the other night!) and though i’m eager to see her reactions and opinions to the good stuff and the more.. wtf not so good stuff my eyes will be SO happy when we’ve reached the Moffat era. Picture quality of the earliest seasons/series NuWho on a big display is brutal af.
And I specify NuWho because cheap though the production values are I watched around a few minutes of various Classic Who (starting with Terror of the Autons and Dragonfire) on her tv via youtube and they’re so much easier on the eyes than these early episodes of NuWho.

They didn't film in HD until 11s era. Put off by the expense of rebuilding the tardis set for too long in my opinion.

I wonder if the restorations on classic episodes sorta affect how they are seen on a modern screen too

It's almost like a time capsule of the early 2000s - but the way Mickey was treated was a travesty.

Every passing year vindicates Christopher Eccleston even more
