Apparently many of the original effects are ruined when viewed on HD format. I don't mean in a cheesy way, but that you can see through backgrounds and so on. This is the main impetus for the remastering.
I don't have a problem with this per se, but if they're reinventing the look of the show, and not merely compensating for flaws revealed in HD, it's disgraceful.
Stupid short sighted Paramount Execs.
I'm a big fan of the old Doctor Who, dated effects and all. Given its influence and the reverence for its place in British pop culture history, I doubt such a process would even be considered. Updating those just wouldn't be cricket!
