I wasn't being critical, I was being quite complimentary.

A set of cast statues and some gaffers to move them around has to be 
less expensive than CGI.

I also know that at least in the U.S. most series have at least one 
"retrospective" episode using mostly recycled footage to make up for the 
episodes that went over budget.

It's far better than when the crew of the Enterprise runs into a 
highly-advanced new civilization who promptly puts them on trial (with 
recycled "evidence" from the earlier episodes).

In other words: brilliant.  It may get me back to watching The Doctor.
