I hope that you hope you're wrong. And I believe you are. We'll see.

Promotion for the general audience is what needed, someone at the BBC MUST see the irony that the only regular general promotion DW gets now is on the Radio show of the guy who judges on the show DW's up against every week! Yet every other drama is promoted weekly during its run, with star interviews/ on set reports in all the Daytime Lifestyle TV shows. The main actress is leaving the show for crying out loud. Will she be killed off? Will she just walk away? Have they cast her replacement? These are all questions that could be raised for a general audience to consider. Regards mark687 That just can't be true - that's insane. It's one of the BBC's flagship shows - why the hell wouldn't you promote it?

Personally I do think they feel special, but even if they don't, it's like saying stop making Who, it doesn't feel special any more. It doesn't need to be special.

It doesn't need to be special. i said they wouldnt drop them because they get good rating. as to why i think they should drop it is because it takes time, effort, budget, and other resources . all things that could be used on the series proper. moffat has had trouble putting a whole season out a year i dont think rtd ever had that trouble under his tenure. 12 hours of tv a year isnt much it seems to me . yet somehow that seems to be a problem nowadays . cut out the special and put the efforts into the series see if that helps .

I suggest you read The Writer's Tale if you think "12 hours of tv a year isnt much it seems" - RTD moved away from his long-term boyfriend to Cardiff putting his relationship in the balance, worked 20 hour days much of the time, and suffered many mini-breakdowns. Only having a similiar workhorse in Julie Garnder meant that Who worked so smoothly for the RTD years. A perfect storm of insanely dedicated execs. And they couldn't just keep the Christmas money for the series if they dropped the special. The production blocks and BBC funding don't work that way.

Yet RTD also did Torchwood and SJA at the same time. I continue to believe a lot of his stress was self-inflicted. And who can blame him - he was making Doctor who!!

He's said he'll never, ever do a series that requires a second season again due to his Who experiences. I guess Wizards V Aliens was a more consulting/writing gig that being on call 24/7.
He nearly cost himself his health, his relationship and his sanity to bring us Who. I try and remember that when I think I don't like much of his era. It reminds me of something JNT said - "No-one is trying to make bad Doctor Who".
