Doctor Who will finally be back on TV in two years time. I was never a big fan of Doctor Who, but I do think that the BBC could do a good job in developing an SF show now, and it would be fun to see some British SF as well.
The reason why this announcement is much more believeable than previous ones (which amounted to nothing) is because the Radio Times recently conducted a poll of 12,000 UK viewers to see what show they would most want to see back on TV. They discovered that Doctor Who was by far and away the most wanted, with 31% of them wanting to see it revived.
I am convinced that this is what caused the BBC’s announcement, a mere two days afterwards; they’ve been wanting to revive Doctor Who for some time, and with the poll they have a cast-iron reason for doing so. So sit tight…
