| Could Doctor Who be Coming Back? |
 Could Doctor Who be back next year? That's what
various news broadcasts and radio announcements would leave you to
believe.
Whotopia has been monitoring the situation and even though it
is our policy not to report anything that is rumoured but as this news item is
of great importance to a lot of Doctor Who fans and viewers it is felt
that we should at least report the facts as we see it.
It would
appear that the rumours started after an interview with Simon Mayo of Radio
Five Live that BBC1 chief Lorraine Heggessey stated that: |
| "Doctor Who was a fantastic series and I think we should be
looking at ways to reinvent it." It is understood that she went on to say
that "Discussions are going on at the moment, but they are in the very early
stages. There is an awful lot to sort out, including copyright and so on, but,
yes, it could be coming back. And tea-time on Saturdays would seem an
appropriate place." |

Not wanting to raise your hopes but we have all heard similar
things before. However, this does seem to be one of the more hopeful
discussions about the show's future since its cancellation in 1989. At last it
seems that those high-up at the BBC are indeed interested.
One thing
that has been noted is the positive comments that Outpost Gallifrey are
reporting. Not wanting to be to optimistic we at Whotopia hope they are correct
and that the good Doctor will be returning to out Saturday tea-time television
screens soon.
It will be interesting to see if it leads to even more
positive news about the shows future. We will of course bring you more details
as and when we get it.
