Like I remember watching "Honey I shrunk the kids" as a kid and when they find the ant and get attacked by the scorpion it all so real when all it was was a couple of puppets.

Very few things in television or movie are actually real...
I just dislike the constant use of deus ex machina by the writers everytime they encounter a problem the doctor might actually struggle with. It just seem sloppy and insulting to the viewers. 'right we have the doctor hanging off the side of a skyscraper by a cable, how the hell do we get him out of this one lads?' 'I know, why not have his scredriver magically control a winch that pulls him up?' 'Good thinking. Then in the next scene we can have that screwdriver open a locked door, fix the tardis and disarm a bomb...'
Fair enough though, I don't actually like doctor who. I wouldn't watch it if it wasn't for the fact that every saturday when I go visit my parents it is on.
