Yeah; I'm excluding the campy Sci Fi from this -- any of the low-budget movies that the Syfy channel made, for example. They weren't intended to be good or even draw a large audience, and they did pretty well considering their budgets. But they didn't have the baggage or expectations that the "Star Trek" name brings with it.
And even with Dr. Who, most of the action takes place in the present day -- which helps with saving money on costumes and sets.

Let's not forget all the Doctor Who episodes that take place in the past, which effectively means they can raid the wardrobes of whatever BBC period drama is being filmed that week...

Final episode of the series then features a monster that looks suspiciously like a pile of gravel.
So never saw the Dr. Who series int he 1970s and 1980s :)
Personally I loved the campy Dr Whos a lot.
BBC - "Your almost Out of Budget and you have 3 part series to finish"
Producer - "No problem we will put a trash can over that guy and tape up a few trash bags, throw some kids paint on it and there is our new monster." "We will also call the gravel pit see if we can use it as a location during there lunch breaks."
