Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again 304
twofish writes "According to UK tabloid The Sun, hit BBC sci-fi program Doctor Who will reportedly end next year after its fourth season. Producer Russell T. Davies has decided to bring the hit sci-fi show to a close — to 'go out at the top' — so he can concentrate on other projects, according to the article. Davies and other senior staff are feeling the strain of the heavy workload imposed by the show, nine months a year of 16-hour days, and plan to resign en-masse in 2008. Davies, a long-time fan of Doctor Who, relaunched the series in 2005, 16 years after the original series was axed." Update: 05/31 16:36 GMT by KD : Reader palewook points out that the UK Guardian sets this story straight: "But there isn't any way it would be axed even if [Davies] left. He loves the show and he does feel that maybe it would benefit from some new blood."

Quit a six figure job in IT in 1999 to join the VFX crew for Farscape. My pay dropped overnight by 60% but I got to make spaceships for a living instead of fixing servers. I make more now obviously, but since the show got cancelled I've mostly been working on TV commercials. I sometimes think I should go back into IT before I stab some agency fuck in the head with my Wacom pen.

No Spoilers...so not much of a review, but more a shout out to the Commander for praising this show. I absolutely adore it, especially this possible swan song episode. If anyone is interested in aiding in the campaign to Bring Back Farscape, please visit www.savefarscape.com .
Long Live Moya!
