I see. I was expecting that since it's paid for by the country, that they'd have more money to burn than if they were privately owned or funded by product sponsorship.
I assume that if people were paying for it, they'd be up in arms if they see something low budget and say "we paid for this?"
You're opening a can of worms there my boy!
The shitcunts at the bbc thought their show was out of touch, instead of putting more money into it, they decided to kill it.
Remember Who was before Trek and the UK - a pathetic bitch of a island had the longest running Sci-fi before the US.
My trek Knowledge is limited but the next Generation came about 87? Who was still running. But just because the boss(bbc) at the time didn't like Who, it ended! The only BBC product that made money on VHS sales and if marketed properly could have made so much more money with decent toys- poor old Prom, waiting 21 years for half decent figures!
Who was cancelled and BBC disregarded everything Who. Virgin stepped in and made a packed released new novels every month! US comic fans marvel at Spidergirl surnviving through adversity - fuck that shit! Who was murdered by the BBC, yet still would not die.
VHS died and fans started to buy up the rereleased DVDS!
It fucks me up that some sheep-shagging gaylord thinks he brought Who back! Who should never have gone away!
Look at the BBCs output in the last few years, the stuff that the US and the rest of the world is interested in - Action orientated stuff, not the gay period pieces they've been pissing our money on.
God forbid that you see the shit they make that they can't sell to you guys!
Who has been the only profitable thing that they BBC have ever been able to sell abroad and they treated it like shit!
I really think if the BBC kept their finger on the pulse, they would have kept Who running throughout the 90s, Quantum Leap, X-files, Trek were all very popular.
For fucksake. Why can't they just have a Paul McGann flashback episode in lieu of the normal 'Doctor-lite' episode they come up with (usually, except Smith didn't take a break this year).
Speaking of the Doctor-lite episodes, I wonder what's so tiring about filming thirteen episodes that the stars usually need an episode off per year? All totaled, David Tennant was the only one that needed a day off. Perhaps it's just a budget thing? Make thirteen episodes of a series, but only have to pay the star for twelve?
The papers heavily hyped a Time War episode as one of the specials of twatents last season, McGann was contacted but somewhere along the line, the bbc fucked it.
It's embarrassing that they only do 13 episodes a year.

Surprised that BBC America aired it the same night it broadcast in Britain. I liked it. Moffat, once again uses time travel in an interesting way.

Watched it. I grew a vagina towards the end and got teary-eyed a bit.
Dude, agreed! By BBCA showing it in "real time" for the States on Christmas Night, I was able to watch brand new Doctor Who with my family for the first time since I was a kid. Everyone loved it, even my sister. It was a moving piece, and pretty much flawless in my estimation. The single best Xmas Who episode ever made.
Also, I want to fuck Abigail (the blonde) in every possible way...
It was pretty cool getting to see this right away. Good special but it was sad that the woman ended up doomed. Her illness reminded me a little bit of Bladerunner. She didn't even get to spend her last day with a younger version of her scrooge.
Troughton on tv having a little fun at Colin Baker's expense.
God, I loved Troughton. He was such a class act.
I'd actually seen the previous clip before. It really shows how he and Pertwee has built this perfect little friendly-rivalry with the part. I guess they all do, in their own way (SEE: Colin and Syl's banter any time they are together). Too bad Tom can't unclench and enjoy it a bit, himself...
I honestly don't know. I'm trying to avoid any spoilers so I haven't kept up with it. Don't worry, they'll advertise the shit out of it on BBCAmerica when it does...
