What, the same Britain's Got Talent that I assumed was cancelled years ago? How can anyone excuse this travesty?

"The BBC originally wanted Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who (1963), to be the Doctor at the opening of the film, as this version of the Doctor is the one most familiar to American audiences. The American executive producer Philip David Segal insisted on Sylvester McCoy, as he was an avid Doctor Who fan and felt the Seventh Doctor still deserved a proper send-off. BBC One Controller Alan Yentob and executive producer Jo Wright were very resistant to the return of Sylvester McCoy, as they associated him with the decline in popularity and eventual cancellation of the original series. Wright eventually said that McCoy could appear as long as he was "in it for a very short time and didn't say anything"" This would be the same Alan Yentob who made that insufferable documentary last December about what a "genius" Fathead is. He apparently feels so strongly that McCoy is "associated with a decline in popularity" that he went as far as trying to have him retconned out of canon, yet he's happy to star in obsequious puff pieces for an era that can't match McCoy's ratings even with the full financial and promotional backing of the BBC, Disney and Sony? The hypocrisy of these bastards never ceases to astound me. |
