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.

btw i'm totally ratarsed.

Me No Rikey Rob, he's a banana queer!

I shit on Hogan!
