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."

    Since it is going to be written by the Queer As Folk dude.

    Look. Just because Russell T. Davies is best known for Queer As Folk this does NOT mean Dr. Who is going to be gay all of a sudden. Well, any more gay than before. (An awful lot of Dr. Who fans are gay, and there's nothing wrong with that.)

    What this does mean is that Dr. Who is going to be written by someone who is not just an excellent writer of TV drama, but also by someone who is a long-term fan of Dr. Who, and so has a a love of his material!

    Give the man a chance, people! Wait and see....
