More Dr. Who!
Apparently Dr. Who is making a comeback on Christmas Day this year! At least according to a story on Digitalspy.
This is excellent news! Just a real shame that the Daleks won't feature in the new series. I really really hope that the rumour that's doing the rounds about Derren Brown playing The Master is true. That would be an absolutely inpired piece of casting! :)
I have a feeling the Daleks will be along eventually but it will depend on the clamour from the fans. A couple of instances from the past to support this theory is a colour commentator for ice hockey was going to be let go and the CBC in Canada had to eventually back down. The Star Trek fans too had an influence on the same type of thing. Source: http://www.nexus1.net/TheOriginalsPage.html
" Less than three months after its debut, NBC executives eluded that they may pull the plug due to low ratings. Fans of the show, spurred on by a group of science fiction writers, flooded NBC offices with thousands and thousands of letters which saved the show from cancellation".
From the BBC report you linked to:
"He said the BBC had tried to commission a cartoon series about gay Daleks for BBC Three."
Freaky or what?
