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."

Considering the Foxtard-like calls we US'ians have to put up with (cancelling Drive? WTF, someone at Fux have
it in for NF? And Dancing w/Stars knocking Boston Legal out of its slot and other assorted stupidities.

Bovine excrement mentioned earlier was right on the money as even I went: (Panic!)..but 'the Sun' isn't know
for, well, things called "facts"...prolly bull...(click /. link and reads).

Didn't we go through a similar "Oh noes!" even though Eccelston (sp?) said he'd do one season only, so as not
to get "Tom Baker'ed?"

On behalf of Dr. Who fans I think it is best said like this:
(Dalek Voice) You will not cancel the show! OBEY! OBEY! OBEY! (/dv)
