Personally, I want to know who told Moffat that he should borrow this funny American concept of a mid-season break. You can't leave people hanging on a revelation like that... Sure you can.... >.> Actually, from everything I've seen, the mid-season break is kind of anti-climactic. I need to get around to watching the whole thing, but I keep dozing off...The antibiotics I'm on make me so drowsy.... |

Sounded like it was his idea. |

Sounded like it was his idea. In the latest Private Eye it goes into detail: The BBC execs tried to claim it was Moffat's idea, but he then tweeted that it was theirs, something that has the ring of truth around it as the same execs want to only show a short season next year. |

Who are these BBC execs, and what size mallet do they wear? |

Dunno, but they're the same group of wankers who are currently screwing the BBC into the ground: If they have their way, no programmes will be made and the whole BBC will be in endless management meetings. |

Wasn't it more or less what killed the Classic Who series? On another note, I think it's weird how the Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver has grown on me. At first, I disliked it because it looked too...Weapony. I think part of it is just how Smith sells the damn thing. |

Nah, what killed the Classic series was that at times BBC management didn't like the show. So they destroyed the archived episodes, and shifted day and time of the currently running shows.

More specifically, Michael Grade (then Director General of the BBC) doesn't like Sci-Fi, so he put it up against one of the top soap operas on ITV so it would fail. The Queen, incidentally, is a huge Dr Who fan. And Michael Grade is the only former Director General not to have received a knighthood.......  |

Eccleston's performance in that episode is amazing. the Slitheen were so bad I'm surprised Michael Bay didn't come up with them. This is one of the reasons I wasn't sad to see Davies go. |
