So again wondering why bother to hint at it and why was it missed by proof editing?
And long term damage? The expanded universe is still niche (true more people may've bought it this month because DT was on the cover) but still,,,
Regards

Earlier this year the illustrator of the first issue of X-Men Gold, and the artist listed to illustrate the first arc, slipped in references to controversial subject matter under the noses of the editors. He was promptly fired and the art he had done altered to remove the offensive content. He also went online to say how his career was ruined because of how he was fired. Personal consequences to NP I agree may be significant but I was talking in terms for the Brand, I think its an awkward situation as opposed to dire straits.
Regards

Isn't it a bit stupid to hide a swear word in a magazine owned by a company (Panini) who bought a part of another company known for producing comics for all ages (Marvel UK), who are now owned by a company famous for producing family movies and TV Shows (Disney), based on one of the biggest flagship family dramas in the world (Doctor Who, obviously)?
You may as well get Lee Nelson to hand in your P45.

You may as well get Lee Nelson to hand in your P45. That's pretty much the point of this conversation, it was such a clearly and obviously bad move on the part of Nick Pegg, one is left to wonder what could have motivated it beyond his obvious anger at Panini and BBC Worldwide.

Nick Pegg is entitled to his opinion, it might have been an inapproriate way of expressing it, but it's his career. He knew what he was doing and he knew there would be consequences. Maybe he'd just had enough of Doctor Who and the stuff that goes on behind the scenes and didn't care if he wasn't part of 'it' anymore? I can certainly respect a 'rage against the machine' from somebody who feels that they have been treated badly. Sure, a scorched earth policy might not make a lot of sense to outsiders like us, but there are always good reasons when clever educated people do somehing like this. Nick Pegg is a good guy, this doesn't change that, and he hasn't killed anybody. So this is only a storm in a tea cup.

I mean, how many people can say they have both worked on and published something in connection with a flagship family drama? I would do anything for the opportunity to work on any TV drama, not just Doctor Who. And if I am hired on the crew of a TV drama one day, I certainly won't insult my employers!

Sure Dalek, but just remember, Nick is not you, he has his own perspective and it's going to be different from yours, neither perspective is the one true correct one.

True, but it's still not right to hide a four letter swear word in a magazine about a family show.

To be fair, I don't think Nick really intends to write for the mag again anyway after they cancelled his regular feature...
