Who else feels sad when they watch proper old shows?

So rn im watching dr who starting from christopher eccleston. Im born in 2005 and obviously didnt experience that life style but it makes me sad and kinda nostalgic watching it even though it was filmed before my birth. Its just such a weird feeling and I kinda get anxiety and an existential crisis

You think that’s old??
I feel sad rewatching old shows because I probably saw them first time round!
Try dr who with Jon pertwee and Tom baker. Watched them first time round too
I feel a bit like that when I watch shows from the 80s and 90s. Maybe it's because I wish i'd been alive at that time to see what life was like. Not because I think it was better, but because not having seen much in my 17 years of life is irritating to me

2005 isn't old.

Ah I still remember the first time I watched Rose. We recorded it and as soon as it was over I said let's watch it again.
Also I pictured Eccleston pretty much perfectly but I thought the tardis was a cardboard box before watching the episode so...

I loved Gen 1, but Gen 2 is also pretty important in seeing the development of the big Skins' characters (namely Cook and Effy)..
