The BBC is to axe Doctor Who Confidential, the BBC3 spin-off from its sci-fi drama, as part of the corporation's ongoing cuts programme.
Doctor Who Confidential, which features behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Doctor Who as well as interviews with the cast and crew, has aired in an early evening slot on BBC3 since 2005, when the corporation revived the main series with Christopher Ecclestone as the ninth Time Lord.
However, with the corporation facing budget cuts of up to 20% across its output as part of its "Delivering Quality First" initiative, BBC controller Zai Bennett has chosen to axe the show at the end of its current series.

ReplyDeleteJust don't go for the fox network,it would kill Fringe!
ReplyDeleteThey canceled Firefly!!! :O
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteReally disappointing news - Confidential was always interesting and gave us a nice glimpse at those behind the scenes as well as the actors.
ReplyDeleteI'm not too fussed over this one. Didnt watch it and evidently the viewing figures for it didnt stack up either, otherwise it wouldnt have been cut. It's nice to have a behind the scenes program, but I know very few that actually watch it.
ReplyDeleteI'm more annoyed about the BBC axing Formula 1 in the way they have.
The English government are to blame for the cuts, so I blame Cameron ;)
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching them last year, they were getting a bit yawnworthy with all the bumf they padded it out with :( Shame they don't do a 10-15 minute version instead tbh
ReplyDeleteThey already got it once.
