Doctor Who Comeback

Posted by michael on from the rec.arts.drwho.moderated dept.

ElGuapoGolf writes "According to the Daily Telegraph, Doctor Who is set to return to the airwaves. According to the article, it's going to be written by the same guy who created the series 'Queer As Folk'. Not sure if we'll get to see it in the US, but I guess it's a good time to start bugging your cable company to carry BBC America if they don't already."

    Persononally, if Paul McGann isn't coming back to play the Doctor then I'd prefer Colin Firth, Sean Bean or Sean Pertwee (Jon Pertwee's, the third Doctor, son) to get the title role.

    Irrespective of the politics of The Daily Telegraph, the story's quite accurate. So, in the context of this story, your "to be read with a pinch of salt" is as redundant as your lambasting of the paper's editorial slant (and people who rip The Guardian for being a "communist rag" are just as bad, if not worse).

    As I pointed out in my other post below, the story's being reported by the BBC too. And given that Doctor Who is a BBC production, that makes it pretty hard to refute.
