Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again

twofish writes "According to UK tabloid The Sun, hit BBC sci-fi program Doctor Who will reportedly end next year after its fourth season. Producer Russell T. Davies has decided to bring the hit sci-fi show to a close — to 'go out at the top' — so he can concentrate on other projects, according to the article. Davies and other senior staff are feeling the strain of the heavy workload imposed by the show, nine months a year of 16-hour days, and plan to resign en-masse in 2008. Davies, a long-time fan of Doctor Who, relaunched the series in 2005, 16 years after the original series was axed." Update: 05/31 16:36 GMT by KD : Reader palewook points out that the UK Guardian sets this story straight: "But there isn't any way it would be axed even if [Davies] left. He loves the show and he does feel that maybe it would benefit from some new blood."

It's so cute watching nerds try to stratify themselves.

The only constant in the cast is the Doctor and he can "regenerate" every time the actor wants to move on to other things.

Well... technically, a Time Lord can only regenerate 12 time, and we're on the Tenth Doctor now. That said, I'm sure that if the show continued past #12 that the writers would find some plausible explanation. Come to think of it, I don't think that the 12 regeneration limit has actually been mentioned on screen, so they could be fine anyways... He's the Doctor. I'm sure he'll just look up the cheat codes somewhere. Daleks? IDKFA, bitch. :)
