It's hard to know isn't it. Smaller, lower resolution TVs of course, and children have endless capacity to suspend disbelief.
I feel one of the strengths/weakenesses of Lucky Day is the sort of recursive suggestion that in the whoniverse all t he aliends really do look like men in suits.
Say what you want about “The Web Planet”’s cheesy costumes, it was still an ambitious attempt at a *really* alien world. For that at least, I admire the hell out of it.
One feels like it almost succeeds in lots of ways - you know trim an episode, rethink the optera and possibly the venom grub costumes. I'm not sure there is anything to be done about the Zarbi's legs, but I think they would be forgiven if some of the rest of it was just a little bit tighter.
Before I had ever seen this story I encountered some fantastic Menoptra cosplay at Gallifrey One. That kind of predisposed me to liking it. I rewatched it recently, still kind of fond of the bones of what's there, but I do wonder, though, how much better it would be with 1) 21st c. budget & effects and 2) editing the story down to a single modern-length episode

Maybe :)
(I do sometimes wonder what we will do if real aliens land and they di look exactly like Old Who monsters...)
