They take twice as long to air new seasons and they are usually twice as short. If I didn't like Doctor Who so much I would have given up on them a very long time ago.
I prefer the shorter series, and it seems a lot of American channels have followed suit in recent years., Showtime and Syfy in particular. I'd rather have the quality of a shorter run than have a bunch of filler episodes.
The BBC is not an american channel and so they don't have that much money. You have to keep in mind buying American TV shows is a lot cheaper than making your own shows.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
FINALLY! A premiere date.... but soooooo long away.....
ReplyDeleteThat's BBC for ya. They take even longer than Sci-Fi to air new seasons.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth!! Worse yet is some of their "seasons" or series are like 3 episodes only!

Yep, the date has now been withdrawn :(
ReplyDeleteI know they want to have all the filming in the can before they start showing it, which seems odd.
