Doctor Who to get axe in 2008

I doubt it's true - but if it is I will find the responsible parties, give them a sound talking to and quite possibly kick them square in the nuts.

DO NOT stand between me and my goofy Sci-Fi. You killed off Rose, that was bad enough, don't be taking the whole thing away now.

To be serious for a second, I find it hard to credit that the BBC would give up such a lucrative franchise - nor do I think that Russell T. Davies and crew would be so petty as to pick up bat and ball, and go home rather than passing the torch.

The article was clearly writen with non-film people in mind. It says the "senior staff are feeling the strain of the heavy workload imposed by the show, nine months a year of 16-hour days, and plan to resign en-masse in 2008.

Um hello! 9 mths of 16 hour days is standard for the film industry.
