Canadians Miss Out On Doctor Who Season Finale

Posted by timothy on from the splicing-time-never-had-such-immediacy dept.

darthcamaro writes "Canadians were among the last people in the world to get the season 4 finale of Doctor Who which already aired in the UK and Australia. The Canadian public broadcaster — CBC — decided to cut out nearly 20 minutes from the episode, leaving fans wondering what was going on. Doctor Who isn't the easiest show to follow at the best of times — but Canadians are now up in arms (or at least hockey sticks) over their taxpayer-funded broadcaster's lack of respect for SciFi hosers."

    Whoever labeled iYk6's post a "troll" is an idiot. It was a JOKE and it was *funny*. Loosen up. Turn on, tune in, drop out.

    I believe you forgot to mention that "Three's Company" was a very poor copy of "Man about the House" and the terrible adaptations of "The Office" and "Kath and Kim". I suspect that the American networks have a very poor opinion of their customer's intelligence, and remake these shows to cater for the crowd that cannot tie their own shoelaces.
