Update

No cancellations were needed, Doctor Who was typically good, actually better than good, but i don't think in hindsight it excuses my anger before.

I remeber back to my childhood feeling wronged, and in a lot of ways i was wronged, i felt out of place in a world that reviled stargazing, dreaming, and hoping, now i live in a world where all these things are not just accepted they are admired.

Doctor Who is my kind of escapism, i am inspired by the ethos of an enlightened being with no guns, just intellect and compassion fighting the demons and the monsters, but its not for everyone.

For some people football gives them something to believe in. I might not approve of their heroes, and it is true that i look down on those heroes.

I suppose what i'm trying to say is that i'm suprised that the BBC would consider cancelling Doctor Who for a football match, but at the moment its not the worst crime they are commiting, but mostly admiting i shouldn't get so worked up about a little thing like that in the face of everything else in the world.

I was just checking on the radio times website what time Doctor Who is on, only to see a warning that due to the football match beforehand there is a distinct possibility that Doctor Who may be delayed to next saturday.

HOW DARE THEY!!!

I was brought up in an age when i had to put up with Star Trek and Buffy being cancelled continually for wimbledon and other such other crap... I can somewhat accept that, these werent the most popular shows, but when Doctor Who has taken the country by storm, to the point that its a major event on the past 2 christmas days...

How dare they delay my viewing because a bunch of overpaid morons cannot outplay another group of overpaid morons by a significant enough margin inside 90 minutes?
