Fascinating interview with TV Producer Mal Young about what it was like trying to get Doctor Who back on the air in 2004:
So although we felt we had a well-known brand with a history, we also had to create something brand new and not rely at all on that past. Some sections of the audience didn’t remember the show fondly and to them it was a damaged brand. We had to be respectful at the same time as making a brand new show
At least the BBC knew what a good show is.Fuck American TV.
