Sweet Lorraine Let the Party Carry On!
BBC1 Controller Lorraine Heggessey, the individual who commissioned the new series of Doctor Who, is leaving the BBC at the end of May. It’s very likely that she will commission (or not) a second season of Doctor Who before she leaves (if she hasn’t done so already, as is rumoured) as by that time the ratings for most of the series will be in. Who fans worldwide are celebrating right now with the new series about to begin, so I certainly hope (and have every confidence) that Lorraine will let the party carry on into 2006 and beyond.
But what of the future and her successor? Is Doctor Who about to come face to face with another Michael Grade-type?
Fear not, as the new controller was announced yesterday as Peter Fincham, and earlier today he made a point of mentioning to the British press that he grew up watching Doctor Who behind the sofa. If the new series does get cancelled in the near future, it seems doubtful after hearing such a statement that it will be because the BBC1 Controller doesn’t like Doctor Who, the way many will argue it was the case 20 years ago.
