And before I fly off with Peri into the deepest reaches of the universe tonight, I'd like to lift another exchange tonight at Biased BBC (partly because it involves me!):
chrisH says: November 18, 2013 at 8:48 pmI`ve only had the radio on three times times today, but each occasion has mentioned the bloody Dr Who day coming up.HGAF?…when the BBC wants to put its daleks back into senior management , then I`ll think it worth the endless puffs and plugs.Can say puffs still can`t I?Shameless self-referential gobshites , the BBC.Exterminate…FFS!PS-don`t suppose the inventor of the Dalek will be seeing any money from the BBC anytime soon eh?…Copyright is a one way street with the BBC isn`t it?
Craig says:November 18, 2013 at 9:01 pmThere was a long ‘Doctor Who’ plug every hour on the BBC News Channel this afternoon, and I do mean ‘long’.There was also a plug on ‘Today’ this morning.There was another plug on the BBC One’s ‘News at Six’ tonight too.Even Radio 4′s religious affairs farrago ‘Sunday’ had a plug for it yesterday.And they say the BBC doesn’t advertise.The BBC’s Cyber Controller obviously gave the order to plug ‘Doctor Who’ across the BBC, and the BBC Cyber Warriors clicked their heels and obeyed.
There was also, you may recall, a Brian Cox TV lecture on the science of Doctor Who last week, plus umpteen articles on the BBC News (yes, News) website.
Beam me up, Peri.
Update: There was even a 'Doctor Who' question on yesterday's Round Britain Quiz:
Update: There was even a 'Doctor Who' question on yesterday's Round Britain Quiz:
In what way could a gruff NCO, a priestly victim of the Antichrist, a larking Chief Petty Officer, and a mad monk, successively be said to have impersonated a police officer from 1963 onwards?(Whoops, partly given away the answer there!)
