I think what the Pertwee era was trying to rectify, in hindsight, was that the show had lost its connection to anything the audience found familiar.

Also to put the Doctor in a more restrictive context so the deux ex machina aspect gets toned down, both literally and figuratively.

Australians have inherited similar attitudes with accents, all the regionalism and class distinctions. I have an accent a bit similar to Clive James without the Gough Whitlam nasality, and I was mercilessly teased and ostracized for it in North Queensland where the accent is broad and my RP-like accent was alien and hoity-toity. What the hell is "Received" anyway? Received from who? They sound very punchable. I've always loved northern accents and Irish accents from both my ancestry and exactly the same class distinctions so I'm no better am I, like the Who fans were all yay Eccleston good honest Northerner eww that chav of a companion though...

I'm watching Black Orchid with the commentary because it takes the edge off.
