Last night saw the end of yet another series of Doctor Who with the finale episode Last Of The Time Lords. As always, I feel a great sadness in my heart that my Saturday evenings once again will be left with a great big void. Fortunately, for both myself and other fans out there, filming is just about to start on next year's series. There will also be the customary Christmas episode to look forward to in just under 6 months. But is this enough?
Last year we had Torchwood to keep us entertained but a quick scan of the website and general news has turned up nothing to suggest it will be the same this year. I find this very hard to comprehend, as for me and many other individuals out there, Torchwood was completely on par if not slightly better than Doctor Who. It has even gained the honour of being added to my DVD collection which Doctor Who has yet to accomplish. So what now?
Doctor Who and Torchwood are the only 2 programmes that I watch on the BBC. In fact, add Bravo's Dog The Bounty Hunter to the list and you have the only 3 programmes I watch on my Television. Considering the amount I have to pay for the licence fee and digital access I'm not really getting value for my money. I'm not alone in my thinking either as a quick scan of the internet has revealed.
In my opinion, if the licence fee is to remain, the BBC should start giving their viewers more of what they want and less of the pitiful drivel that fills the screen each day. That's more Doctor Who, more Torchwood and less rubbish like Eastenders!
