I guess the city kind of makes up for the cheap Tardis interior. It's also cheap but better use of cheap set design. The silver and bronze look seems like it was designed to be filmed in black and white.

The main thing I know about this movie is that Whovians are ridiculously detail oriented about Daleks to the point of following the journey of specific Dalek suits over the decades by looking at tiny differences from screen shots. The guys from this movie were all new and had strange appearances.

Giving Daleks so much dialogue was clearly a bad idea. Good Dalek banter can be written. You just have to make them the cattiest bitches ever who have massive egos. Daleks can deliver one liners.

Burke and Hare case is a dark and sordid tale, but I can see why it was remade as a dark comedy. Brits by nature just have the potential to do both at once.
