Looking through the DVD extras for the first season of NuWho, I notice there are a lot more model effects to depict the locations and action. While the Dalek Emperor and decoy Slitheen craft were the better known model effects, the production crew used models for depicting other things (like the RAF barrage balloons and the Thames lair housing the Nestine Consciousness). But in the Tennant years CGI seemed to have taken over completely, for better or worse, with The Mill animation house getting a Bafta, but while I was impressed by the Pyrophile creatures and the Library planet in S4, I felt The Mill's output looked quite rushed in "The Stolen Earth/Journey's End".
While CGI is certainly here to stay and the CGI effects for NuWho is a vast improvement over most of the original Doctor Who's special effects and some of the effects seen in the earlier seasons of The Next Generation, do you think the NuWho production crew are going back to more model work under Steven Moffat?
